The summary describes a physical implantable device (cervical cage) and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are bench tests of mechanical properties.
Yes
The device is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures to treat cervical disc disease, which involves mitigating symptoms like radiculopathy and myelopathy, thus providing therapy to the patient.
No
Explanation: The device is a cervical cage designed for interbody fusion procedures. It is an implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage consists of physical components like cages, screws, a locking plate, and a set screw, made from materials like PEEK and titanium alloy. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in patients with cervical disc disease. This is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device to treat a structural issue in the spine.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant (cage, screws, locking plate, set screw) made of materials like PEEK and titanium alloy.
- Function: The device's function is to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion in the cervical spine.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
IVD devices are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples. The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage is a surgically implanted device used to treat a physical condition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage 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. The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage must be used with the internal screw fixation provided by screws of the Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage. This cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.

Device Description
The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage consists of cages, screws, locking plate and set screw.
The cages are available in various heights, width and have only 7° lordotic angle with an open architecture to accept packing of autograft or autogenous bone graft, while the medical grade titanium alloy screws have various diameters and length for fixing the cages. The locking plate, made of radiolucent PEEK and titanium alloy, is to prevent screw loosening. The medical grade titanium alloy set screw is intended for fixation of the locking plate.
The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage has two types:
-
- The spacer which is made of radiolucent PEEK spacer (polymer polyether-ether-ketone, ASTM F2026) with the tantalum markers (ASTM F560).
-
- The spacer which is a combination of radiolucent PEEK spacer with the x-ray markers and medical grade titanium alloy plate (Ti6AI4V ELI, ASTM F136).
The Velofix™ SA Cervical Cage is implanted as a single device via an anterior approach by using the instruments manufactured from stainless steel materials that conform to ASTM F899.
- The spacer which is a combination of radiolucent PEEK spacer with the x-ray markers and medical grade titanium alloy plate (Ti6AI4V ELI, ASTM F136).
