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.

Dear Adam Rogers:
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 (the 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 available 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.

· Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis);
• Pseudoarthrosis; and
• Failed previous fusions
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.
