Intended Use
The CastleLoc-P Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7). The System is indicated for use in the immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusions in patients with: - degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with . degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), - . spondylolisthesis, - trauma (i.e. fractures or dislocations), . - tumors, . - . deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), - failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis) . - spinal stenosis. .
Device Description
The CastleLoc-P Anterior Cervical Plate System is composed of plates, screws and lockers which are made from titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI (ASTM F136). These plates attach to the anterior cervical spine with a minimum of four screws per plate. The plates are offered in one-level, two-level, three-level, four-level fusion configurations (19~97mm). The plate screws are 3.5mm and 4.0mm diameter head screws. They are selftapping and self-drilling threaded. This device is provided as non-sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components (plates, screws, lockers) and their material, intended use for spinal fixation, and performance testing based on mechanical standards. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for "immobilization and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusions in patients" with various spinal conditions, indicating it is used to treat or manage disease.

No

The device is an Anterior Cervical Plate System intended for surgical fixation and stabilization of the spine as an adjunct to fusions. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of plates, screws, and lockers made from titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the CastleLoc-P Anterior Cervical Plate System is composed of plates, screws, and lockers made from titanium alloy. These are implanted devices used for surgical fixation of the cervical spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7)" as an "adjunct to fusions." This is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a device, not the analysis of a biological specimen.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. An:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
