Intended Use
The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purposes of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: Degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation); and/or tumor. The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is intended for use with bone graft and is not intended for stand alone use.
Device Description
The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is a one-piece bilateral locking plate device which attaches to the posterior non-cervical spine by securely grasping two adjacent spinous processes. The S.P.F.P is available in multiple sizes to accommodate different anatomical requirements, and it is composed entirely of titanium 6Al-4V alloy. The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate may be implanted by either conventional surgical methods, or via minimally-invasive techniques. Proprietary manual instrumentation for implantation of the S.P.F.P is available for both conventional and minimally-invasive surgical procedures. When the UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is used as supplemental fixation in interbody fusion procedures, its use is limited to the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and intended use of a physical implant and surgical instrumentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a fixation plate intended for use in the non-cervical spine to achieve supplemental fusion in conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, and tumor, which are medical conditions indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states "The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1)." This indicates it is a therapeutic device used for physical fixation and fusion, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "one-piece bilateral locking plate device" composed of "titanium 6Al-4V alloy," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The UniVise™ Spinous Process Fixation Plate is a physical implant designed to be surgically attached to the spinous processes of the spine. It is a mechanical device used for fixation and stabilization within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for supplemental fixation in spinal fusion procedures to treat various spinal conditions. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro testing.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.
