Intended Use
The Wolff's Law Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the cervical spine (C2-C7) during the development of solid spinal fusion in patients with instability caused by the following: • Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) – as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies; - · Spondylolisthesis; - Spinal Stenosis: - · Trauma (including fractures); - · Tumor; - · Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); - · Pseudoarthrosis; and - · Failed previous fusions
Device Description
The Spinal Simplicity Wolff's Law Anterior Cervical Plate System is a dynamic cervical plate designed for the anterior cervical spine (C2-C7). The Wolff's Law Plate System consists of one-level plates in multiple lengths with both fixed- and variable-angle screws. The plates are translatable and use a nitinol Compression Element to provide continuous compression at each level. The Wolff's Law Cervical Plate consists of components made from titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI per ASTM F136 and superelastic nitinol per ASTM F2063. The fixed and variable screws are made from Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI per ASTM F136. The Anterior Cervical Plate System is provided to the end-user sterile and is single use.

The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and material science, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is indicated for temporary stabilization of the cervical spine during the development of solid spinal fusion in patients with various spinal conditions, directly addressing a health issue.

No
The device is a temporary stabilization system for the cervical spine, designed for fusion and made of titanium alloy and nitinol. It is not described as analyzing or interpreting data to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical anterior cervical plate system made of titanium alloy and nitinol, including plates and screws. It also mentions mechanical performance testing, which is characteristic of hardware devices.

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 the "temporary stabilization of the cervical spine (C2-C7) during the development of solid spinal fusion." This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a "dynamic cervical plate" made of titanium and nitinol, designed for implantation in the spine. This is a physical medical device, not a reagent or instrument used to test samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing (compression, torsion, tension, pullout, corrosion) of the physical implant, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic measurements from biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical implant used to treat a physical condition within 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)
Classification. Class II.

Indications for Use Comparison

The indications for use of the primary and secondary predicate devices fully encompasses the Wolff's Law Anterior Cervical Plate System indication for use statement. The types of conditions for which the Wolff's Law Anterior Cervical Plate System is used are identical to the predicate devices. The slight differences in the indications for use statements do not constitute a new intended use.

Technological Comparison

The Wolff's Law Anterior Cervical Plate System has similar technological characteristics, surgical approach, materials, range of sizes, design and principles of operation as the predicate devices. Any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance testing device has mechanical performance substantially equivalent to that of the predicate.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

Non clinical mechanical tests were performed to substantial equivalence of the Wolffs Law Anterior Cervical Plate System. Custom test were also performed to support the performance and substantial equivalence of the device. FDA Guidance Document Spinal Plating Systems - Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway: Guidance for Industry and Food and Druq Administration Staff was used to support the performance testing and the following ASTM test were performed:

ASTM F1717 Static Compression Bending ASTM F1717 Static Torsion ASTM F1717 Static Tension Bending ASTM F1717 Dynamic Compression Bending ASTM F543 Axial Screw Pullout/Pushout ASTM F2129 & ASTM F3044 Corrosion Testing ASTM F1877 Particulate Analysis ASTM F2004 Transformational Temperature

Clinical performance testing was not performed for this submission.

Spinal Simplicity concludes that the performance testing provided in this 510(k) application demonstrates that the Wolffs Law Anterior Cervical Plate System is capable of performing as intended and is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
