Intended Use
The Transept™ Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior cervical fixation (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
Device Description
The Transept™ Cervical Plate System consists of a variety of bone plates and screws. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The Transept™ Plates include locking pins that cover the heads of the bone screws to reduce the potential for screw back-out. The locking pins come preassembled to the plate. Associated instruments are available to facilitate the implantation of the device. The Transept™ Cervical Plate System implant components are made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136.

The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of the cervical plate system, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is for implantation to provide surgical fixation and stability, not to deliver a therapeutic treatment or effect.

No

The device is a cervical plate system used for fixation in the spine. Its purpose is to provide structural support, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of bone plates, screws, and associated instruments made from titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware-based implant system, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Transept™ Cervical Plate System is a surgical implant used to fix bones in the cervical spine. It is physically implanted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for anterior cervical fixation for various spinal conditions. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The provided information clearly describes a medical device used in surgery, not a device used for testing biological samples outside of 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)

Dear Mr. Wright:

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:

The Transept™ Cervical Plate System consists of a variety of bone plates and screws. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The Transept™ Plates include locking pins that cover the heads of the bone screws to reduce the potential for screw back-out. The locking pins come preassembled to the plate. Associated instruments are available to facilitate the implantation of the device. The Transept™ Cervical Plate System implant components are made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136.

The indications for use for the Transept™ Cervical Plate System are the Transom™ Cervical Plate System (K142060).

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Transept™ Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior cervical fixation (C2-T1) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Transept™ Cervical Plate System is made from titanium alloy that conforms to ASTM F136. Titanium alloy has a successful history of use in the spinal implant industry and use of it in these devices does not introduce any previously unaccepted patient risks. The subject and predicate
