Intended Use
The FORTICO Anterior Cervical Fixation System (Fortico Plate and Screws) is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) in skeletally mature patients for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (such as fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (such as scoliosis, or lordosis), tumor, pseudarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
Device Description
The FORTICO Anterior Cervical Fixation System is a cervical plating system that consists of a cervical plate that includes bone screw holes and blocking mechanisms to prevent screw back-out.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (cervical plate and screws) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing.

No
The device is an implantable medical device used for stabilization of the cervical spine, but its primary function is not to deliver therapeutic agents or therapies.

No

Explanation: The device is a cervical plating system used for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine. Its function is to provide mechanical stability and support for fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "cervical plating system that consists of a cervical plate that includes bone screw holes and blocking mechanisms," 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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The FORTICO Anterior Cervical Fixation System is described as a "cervical plating system" consisting of a plate and screws intended for surgical implantation to stabilize the cervical spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine" for various spinal conditions. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The information provided clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.

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

Testing performed indicates that the FORTICO Anterior Cervical Fixation System is as mechanically sound as similar devices which are legally marketed for sale in the United States. Testing included static and dynamic compression bending and static torsion of the FORTICO Anterior Cervical Fixation System per ASTM F1717. The results are provided for the appropriate governing body to assess against legally marketed products in the United States with identical indications.

§ 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 Mr. Sands:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

1

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
