Intended Use
The Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine (C2 to T1). The system is to be used as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with the degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fractures or dislocations), spinal stenosis, deformity (i.e., kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), tumors, pseudarthrosis or failed previous fusion.
Device Description
The Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System components are intended for anterior screw fixation and stabilization of the cervical spine during the development of cervical interbody spinal fusion. The Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of one through three-level plates and fixed and variable screws, in a variety of sizes to accommodate individual patient anatomy. The Magnes-C components are provided nonsterile. Instruments to facilitate unilateral anterior fixation are included.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing and MR compatibility.

Yes
The device is a system for anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine, intended for use as an adjunct to fusion for various medical conditions like degenerative disc disease, trauma, and spinal stenosis. This clearly indicates its therapeutic purpose in treating or alleviating these conditions.

No
The device is described as an anterior cervical plate system for fixation and stabilization of the cervical spine, used as an adjunct to fusion for multiple indications. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System" consisting of plates and screws, which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "anterior screw fixation of the cervical spine (C2 to T1)" as an "adjunct to fusion." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize the spine.
  • Device Description: The description details plates and screws, which are physical components implanted in the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

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

Mechanical testing of the worst case Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System construct was performed according to ASTM F1717 and included static and dynamic compression and static torsion. The mechanical test results demonstrate that the Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System device performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Additionally, MR Compatibility testing per ASTM F2503 was performed. The results demonstrate that the Magnes-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System can be safely scanned in an MR system.

§ 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 Dr. Karen Warden:

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.
