The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as "an anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms," which directly aims to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is an interbody fusion system designed to provide mechanical support to the cervical spine and facilitate new bone growth, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a collection of additively manufactured and machined implants and associated instruments, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided text, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is an implantable device used for spinal fusion. It is surgically placed within the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
Therefore, the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is a Stand-Alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous disc levels depending on the assembly. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed via an anterior approach at one- or two-disc levels (C2-T1) depending on the assembly. The interior of the spacers can be packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprising cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate as an adjunct to fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment.
The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is an interbody fusion device intended to be used with two titanium alloy screws and/or anchors which accompany the implants. When used with screws, the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is intended for use at one or two levels of the cervical spine (C2-T1) and requires no additional fixation. When used with one or more anchors, the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is intended for use at one level of the cervical spine (C2-T1) and requires additional supplemental fixation such as posterior cervical screw fixation.

Device Description
The CoreLink F3D Cervical Stand-Alone Interbody Fusion System is a collection of additively manufactured and machined implants and associated instruments for surgical site preparation and implantation to provide mechanical support to the cervical spine while arthrodesis occurs. The subject cages are additively manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F3001. Integration consists of additive Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F3001) anchors (also referred to as nails) or machined Ti-6A-4V (ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3) screws. The spacer and screw components are available in an assortment of dimensional combinations to accommodate the individual anatomic and clinical circumstances of each patient. The basic shape of the spacer is a trapezoidal column to provide surgical stabilization of the spine. The inferior/superior aspects of the spacer incorporate a vertical cavity which can be packed with bone graft.

(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)
