Intended Use
The IN:C2 Spinal Fixation System is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. Cervical disc disease is defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation on posterior vertebral endplates producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression confirmed by radiographic studies. IN:C2 is a stand-alone device intended to be used with an anterior cover plate and a minimum two provided bone screws angled both cephalad and caudal with a minimum of one screw into each vertebral body. The implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The IN:C2 System consists of a 'U' shaped PEEK block in multiple footprint configurations and heights. The PEEK implants contain a titanium marker intended to verify position radiologically. The IN:C2 is a stand-alone system, intended for use with its cover plate assembly and two titanium bone screws provided. The IN:C2 implant is intended to be implanted via an open anterior approach. The anterior cover plate assembly attaches to the anterior most portion of the device, and includes housing features for placement of two bone screws angled cephalad and caudal. The cover plate assembly and integrated screws are supplemental fixation.

The summary describes a physical implant (PEEK block with titanium markers, cover plate, and screws) and its intended use in spinal fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing for diagnosis or planning, or any other component that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests of the physical device.

No.
The device is an implantable spinal fixation system used in surgical procedures for spinal fusion, which serves a structural purpose rather than providing therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is a spinal fixation system, an implant used in surgical procedures to treat cervical disc disease. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like a PEEK block, titanium marker, cover plate assembly, and bone screws, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The IN:C2 Spinal Fixation System is a physical implant (a PEEK block with a titanium marker, cover plate, and screws) designed to be surgically implanted into the cervical spine to provide stability and promote fusion. It is used in conjunction with bone graft.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Testing: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples from the patient. The device's function is mechanical support and facilitating bone fusion, not analyzing biological markers.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is "Radiographic studies," which are used to visualize the anatomy and the placement of the implant, not to analyze biological samples.

Therefore, the IN:C2 Spinal Fixation System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

MECHANICAL TESTING:
The following non-clinical tests were conducted:

  • ASTM F2077-11, Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices.
  • . ASTM F2267-04. Standard Test Method for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of an Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Under Static Axial Compression.
  • ASTM F1877-05 Standard Practice for Characterization of Particles .
  • . Pull-off force testing was performed to determine the strength of the PEEK component and titanium anterior plate interface

CONCLUSIONS:
The subject and predicate device share the same intended use. There are no additional changes in size, geometry, manufacturing methods, overall materials used or indications for use. The non-clinical mechanical test results demonstrate that any minor differences, modification of the snap interface, do not impact device performance as compared to the predicates and demonstrate that the IN:C2 System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.

(a)
Identification. An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
