Intended Use

The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed bv history and radiographic studies): spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non cervical pedicle fixation for for the following indications: spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

Device Story

System comprises non-sterile, single-use titanium alloy plates and self-tapping/self-drilling screws; used for anterior cervical spine stabilization during bone graft fusion. Operative site stabilization achieved via mechanical fixation to vertebral bodies. Intended for use by surgeons in clinical settings. Output is physical stabilization of spinal segments. Benefits include support for fusion process in patients with degenerative, traumatic, or neoplastic spinal conditions. Submission introduces reduced stature plate design.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F1717 to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy components conforming to ASTM F136. System includes plates and self-tapping/self-drilling screws. Mechanical fixation device. Non-sterile, single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine (C3-C7) in skeletally mature patients for temporary stabilization during fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease (neck pain of discogenic origin), trauma (fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusions.

Regulatory Classification

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.

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Spinal Intervertebral Body Fixation Orthosis

COMMON NAME: Cervical Plating System

PROPRIETARY NAME: VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System

PREDICATE DEVICES: VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System - K051815

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is comprised of non-sterile, single-use, titanium alloy components. The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System attaches to the vertebral body by means of self tapping and self drilling cervical screws. This system's design is intended to stabilize the spinal operative site during the fusion process of a bone graft in the disc space. This submission adds a reduced stature cervical plate.

INTENDED USE: The modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed bv history and radiographic studies): spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is intended for non cervical pedicle fixation for for the following indications: spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients.

MATERIALS: The material used is titanium Alloy material that conforms to ASTM F136.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Substantial Equivalence: Testing in accordance with ASTM F1717 was performed and demonstrated that the modified VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System is substantially equivalent to the VERTEBRON SSP™ Cervical Plate System (K051815) which have received market clearance by the FDA.
