Intended Use
The PREMIER™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions.
Device Description
The PREMIER™ Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of bone plates (slide washers and set screws are preassembled to plates), screws and associated instruments. Fixation is provided by bone screws inserted into the vertebral body of the cervical spine using an anterior approach. The implant components will be made from titanium alloy as described by ASTM F-136 and may be supplied either sterile or non-sterile.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is an implant system used for temporary stabilization during spinal fusions, which is a structural support rather than a active therapeutic treatment.

No
Explanation: The device is a surgical implant (anterior cervical plate system) used for spinal stabilization and fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of bone plates, screws, and associated instruments made from titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.

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 interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support.
  • Device Description: The description details bone plates, screws, and instruments made from titanium alloy. These are physical components designed for surgical implantation.
  • 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. IVDs typically involve reagents, calibrators, controls, and analytical procedures performed in vitro (outside the body).

Therefore, the PREMIER™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
