Intended Use

The Universal Spinal Anterior Locking Plate System is intended for anterior/anterolateral fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by 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. This device is not intended for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

Device Story

System consists of titanium alloy plates and screws for anterior/anterolateral spinal fixation. Plates feature slotted and round holes for screw placement into vertebral bodies of thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine. Configurations include straight and narrow plates; screw types include universal locking, self-locking, and cancellous locking. Device provides mechanical stabilization of spine. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Output is physical fixation of vertebral segments to facilitate fusion or stabilization. Benefits include structural support for degenerative, traumatic, or deformity-related spinal conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Engineering analyses compared maximum allowable loads of subject device plates against predicate plates.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136. Components: Multiple sized plates (straight and narrow) and screws (universal locking, self-locking, cancellous locking). Fixation: Mechanical screw-to-plate-to-bone interface. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring anterior/anterolateral spinal fixation for degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture/dislocation), spinal stenosis, spinal curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion. Contraindicated for screw attachment or fixation to posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine.

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.

ﺪﻧﺴﺘﻤ ﻋﺪﺩ ﺳ

This safety and effectiveness summary for the Universal Spinal Anterior Locking Plate System is provided as required per Section 513(i)(3) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Date Prepared: September 4, 2006

- 1. Submitter: Contact Person: J.D. Webb Advanced Spine Technology, Inc. The OrthoMedix Group, Inc. 457 Mariposa St. 1001 Oakwood Blvd San Francisco, CA 94107 Round Rock. TX 78681 Telephone: [phone] Telephone: [phone]
- 2. Trade name: Universal Spinal Anterior Locking Plate System Common Name: anterior spinal plate Classification Name: Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis per CRF 888.3060 KWQ

#### Predicate or legally marketed devices which are substantially equivalent: 3.

- The Universal Spinal Anterior (USA) Locking Plate system is a modification to the Amset . Locking Plate (K905023).
#### 4. Description of the device:

The USA Locking Plate System consists of a multiple sized plates and screws. All components are fabricated from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) that conforms to ASTM F136 Fixation is provided by inserting screws through holes in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine. The bone plates offer slotted and round holes that allow the bone screws to be located and securely seated in various positions. There are two plate configurations available: the straight locking plate and the narrow locking plate. The screws include the universal locking screw, the self locking screw and the cancellous locking screw.

#### 5. Intended Use:

The Universal Spinal Anterior Locking Plate System is intended for anterior/anterolateral fixation for the following indications:

- degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration . of the disc confirmed by 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.

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

### 6. Comparison of the technological characteristics of the device to predicate and legally marketed devices:

The design and indications are similar. The main difference is the change of material from 316L stainless steel to Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy.

### 7. Summary of Nonclincal Tests

Engineering analyses show that the maximum allowable loads for the USA straight and narrow plates are greater than the predicate plate.
