Intended Use
The Dogbone ACFS is indicated for trauma, deformity (lordosis and kyphosis), pseudoarthrosis, previously failed cervical spine fusion, tumor, degenerative disk disease (DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.), and spinal canal stenosis. The Dogbone ACFS is indicated for stabilizing the spine from C2 to C7. Unicortical or bicortical fixation from the anterior face of the vertebral bodies may be employed using either the variable angle or fixed angle screws. This product may be employed as an internal fixation device during the time interval required for arthrodesis.
Device Description
The Dogbone ACFS is a titanium alloy anterior cervical plate fixation system. Plates are pre-contoured in two planes, and come in a variety of lengths. Screws arc available in two diameters, several lengths, and two different styles; fixed angle and variable angle. Fixed angle screws are used to build a rigid fixation construct. Variable angle screws are used to build a non-rigid construct. Hybrid constructs combining elements of fixed and variable angle screws may be built also. Eight locking tingers circumferentially disposed around the rim of each screw hole engage the screw heads to provide mechanical resistance against screw back-out.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (anterior cervical plate fixation system) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes

The device is marketed for treating conditions such as trauma, deformity, pseudoarthrosis, degenerative disk disease, and spinal canal stenosis, which are medical conditions, and its intended use is to stabilize the spine and act as an internal fixation device for arthrodesis.

No

The Dogbone ACFS is described as an "internal fixation device" intended for "stabilizing the spine" and used "during the time interval required for arthrodesis." It is a physical implant, not a device used to identify, measure, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "titanium alloy anterior cervical plate fixation system" and describes physical components like plates, screws, and locking fingers. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Dogbone ACFS Function: The description clearly states that the Dogbone ACFS is a titanium alloy anterior cervical plate fixation system used for stabilizing the spine from C2 to C7. It is an implantable device used during surgery to provide structural support.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens, laboratory testing, or diagnostic purposes. Its function is purely mechanical and structural.

Therefore, the Dogbone ACFS falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used for fixation, 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.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
