Intended Use

When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3), the Interpore Cross International Altius OCT System is indicated for: DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) Spondyloslisthesis Spinal stenosis Fracture/dislocation Atlantoaxial fracture with instability Occipitocervical dislocation Revision of previous cervical spine surgery Tumors The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. The Altius OCT System can be linked to the Synergy Spinal System using the Transitional Rods and Rod Connectors from the Altius OCT System.

Device Story

Altius OCT System is a spinal fixation orthosis; used for occipito-cervico-thoracic fusion (occiput-T3). System components include titanium rods, bone screws, hooks, set screws, nuts, cross connectors, and plates. Surgeon implants occipital plate to occiput using bone screws; places thoracic screws (T1-T3) and cervical hooks; inserts pre-bent rods; locks construct with screws and nuts. System provides mechanical stabilization to promote spinal fusion. Can be linked to Synergy Spinal System via transitional rods and connectors. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic or neurosurgeons. Benefits include stabilization of unstable spinal segments and support for fusion in patients with degenerative, traumatic, or neoplastic conditions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and design similarity.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium spinal fixation system; components include rods, bone screws, hooks, set screws, nuts, cross connectors, and plates. Mechanical fixation device; non-powered; non-software; non-sterile (implied).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic (occiput-T3) fusion due to DDD, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture/dislocation, atlantoaxial fracture with instability, occipitocervical dislocation, revision surgery, or tumors. Occipital screws limited to occipital fixation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.

#### PREDICATE DEVICE

Predicate device information is included in this premarket notification.

#### INDICATIONS-FOR-USE

When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3), the Altius OCT System is indicated for:

- DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient . history and radiographic studies)
- Spondylolisthesis .
- ◆ Spinal stenosis
- ◆ Fracture/dislocation
- Atlantoaxial fracture with instability .
- . Occipitocervical dislocation
- . Revision of previous cervical spine surgery
- . Tumors

The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only.

The Altius OCT System can be linked to the Synergy Spinal System using the Transitional Rods and Rod Connectors from the Altius OCT System.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Altius OCT System is a titanium system composed of rods, bone screws, hooks, set screws, nuts, cross connectors, plates. For occipito-cervico-thoracic fusion, the occipital plate is fixed to the occiput with bone screws. The pre-bent rod is cut to the appropriate length. Bonc screws are placed in the thoracic spine (T1-T3) and hooks are placed in the cervical spine. The rod is inserted and the construct is locked with screws and nuts. Cross connectors can be added to the construct.
