The Resolve Anterior Cervical Plate (ACP) System is intended for anterior cervical fixation of the cervical spine (C2-C7) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. The system consists of non-sterile, single use plates and screws that are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The plates have an integrated active locking mechanism, are offered in various lengths, and accommodate constrained and variable screws. The system includes non-sterile, reusable instruments designed to facilitate proper implantation/explantation of the plates and screws.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA document, K251436, describes the Resolve Anterior Cervical Plate System, a medical device. The document states that the substantial equivalence of the device was demonstrated through performance criteria identified in the FDA guidance document "Spinal Plating Systems – Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway".

While the document confirms that non-clinical mechanical tests were performed and met acceptance criteria, it does not provide the specific numerical acceptance criteria or the reported device performance in a table format. Nor does it detail a clinical study with human readers or specific ground truth methodologies. The information focuses on non-clinical mechanical testing for spinal plating systems.

Therefore, the following information is extracted and inferred based only on the provided document:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study (as per provided document)

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

§ 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.
