Intended Use
The Medtronic Spinal and Biologics PYRAMID® +4 ANTERIOR LUMBAR PLATE Fixation System is indicated for use as a supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral level, anterior below the bifurcation of the vascular structures or laterally above the bifurcation of the vascular structures. When properly used, this system will help provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops. Specific indications include: 1) Degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); 2) Pseudoarthrosis; 3) Spondylolysis; 4) Spondylolisthesis; 5) Fracture; 6) Neoplastic disease; 7) Unsuccessful previous fusion surgery; 8) Lordotic deformities of the spine; 9) Idiopathic thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis; 10) Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis, and/or kyphosis) associated with deficient posterior elements such as that resulting from laminectomy, spina bifida, or myelomenigocele; and/or 11) Neuromuscular deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis, and/or kyphosis) associated with pelvic obliquity.
Device Story
Anterior lumbar plate system; supplemental fixation device for spinal fusion. Components made of titanium alloy. Provides temporary stabilization of lumbosacral spine until fusion occurs. Designed for anterior or anterolateral placement to avoid vascular interference. Used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Mechanical fixation device; no electronic or software components. Benefits patient by maintaining spinal alignment and stability during bone healing process.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium alloy spinal fixation plate system. Designed for anterior or anterolateral lumbosacral application. Mechanical fixation device; no energy source, connectivity, or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring supplemental anterior or anterolateral spinal fixation at the lumbosacral level to achieve fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease, pseudoarthrosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, fractures, neoplastic disease, failed prior fusion, lordotic deformities, idiopathic scoliosis, deformities with deficient posterior elements (laminectomy, spina bifida, myelomeningocele), and neuromuscular deformity with pelvic obliquity.
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.

- III. Description: The subject device represents an expansion of the PYRAMID® ANTERIOR PLATE System. The prodicate system will be renamed the PYRAMID® +4 ANTERIOR LUMBAR PLATE System. Like its predicate counterpart, the subject device is intended for use as an ant rior fixation device to supplement an anterior lumbar interbody fusion. The variety of the PYRAMID® +4 ANTERIOR LUMBAR PLATE System provides surgeons wit 1 options in the placement of the device to avoid interference with the vasculature, whil : still allowing for fixation. The PYRAMID® +4 ANTERIOR LUMBAR PLATE components are made of titanium alloy.
- IV, Indications for Use: The Medtronic Sofamor Danek PYRAMID® +4 ANTERIOR LUMBAR PLATE System is indicated for use as an anteriorly placed supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral lev :l below the bifurcation of the vascular structures or as an or anteriorly lateral placed supplemental fixation device for the 1.1 -L5 region.
When properly used, this system will ielp provide temporary stabilization until a solid spinal fusion develops. Specific indications include: 1) Degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); 2) Pseudoarthrosis; 3) Spondylolysis; 4) Spondylolisthesis; 5)Fracture; 6) Neo )lastic disease; 7) Unsuccessful previous fusion surgery; 8) Lordotic deformities of the spine; 9) Idiopathic thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis; 10) Deformity (i.e., scolio is, lordosis, and/or kyphosis) associated with deficient posterior elements such as t at resulting from laminectomy, spina bifida, or myelomenigocele; and/or 11) Neuromuscular deformity (i.e., scoliosis, and / or kyphosis) associated with pelvic obliquity.
