Intended Use

The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine. This system is indicated for use in temporary stabilization of the anterior spine from C2 to T1 during the development of a cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (including fractures or dislocations); spinal cord stenosis; deformity or curvatures (i.e. kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis); tumors; pseudarthrosis; and / or failed previous fusions.

Device Story

KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate is a spinal fixation system consisting of bone plates, screws, and locking tabs. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for temporary stabilization of the anterior cervical spine (C2-T1) to facilitate fusion. Components are implanted to provide mechanical support to the spine. Device is supplied non-sterile and requires sterilization by the user. Benefits include stabilization of the cervical spine in patients with degenerative, traumatic, or structural spinal pathologies. Not for posterior pedicle fixation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biomechanical testing conducted in accordance with ASTM F1717 to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy 6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Components: Anterior cervical bone plates, screws, and screw locking tabs. Supplied non-sterile. Mechanical fixation system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring temporary anterior cervical spine stabilization (C2-T1) during fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fractures/dislocations), spinal cord stenosis, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis), tumors, pseudarthrosis, and failed previous fusions. Contraindicated for posterior element (pedicle) fixation.

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.

#### Device Description:

The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate consists of various sizes of anterior cervical bone plates, screws and screw locking tabs. Components are available in a variety of sizes to fit patient anatomy. All components are manufactured from implant grade titanium alloy 6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F-136. The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate components will be supplied clean and "NON-STERILE".

#### Intended Use of the Device:

The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate is indicated for use in temporary stabilization of the anterior spine from C2 to T1 during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with:

1. Degenerative disc disease, DDD (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies);

- 2. Spondylolisthesis
- 3. Trauma (including fractures or dislocations);

# Life

- 4. Spinal cord stenosis;
- Deformity or curvatures (i.e. kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis); 5.
- 6. Tumors;
- 7. Pseudarthrosis;
- 8. Failed previous fusions.

WARNING: This device is not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

### Material:

The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate is manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy described by ASTM F136 (Ti 6AL-4V-ELI).

### Performance Data:

Biomechanical testing in accordance with ASTM F1717 was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

#### Substantial Equivalence:

The KINETIC™ Anterior Cervical Plate was shown to be substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices in indications for use, design, function, and materials used.
