Intended Use

1. The intended use of the Malibu system, when used as a Pedicle Screw Spinal System or Spondylolisthesis Spinal Fixation Device System, is to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar. and sacral spine. The indications for use are as follows: · degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies, · severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusions by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal of the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion (indication for use only when used as a Spondylolisthesis Spinal Fixation Device System), · spondylolisthesis, · trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), · spinal stenosis, · deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), · spinal tumor, · pseudoarthrosis, and/or · failed previous fusion. 2. The intended use and indications of the Malibu system, when used as a Spinal Interlaminal Fixation Orthosis or Hook Spinal System or Sublaminar Wire System, are limited to T1-L5 and are as follows: · degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies, · spondylolisthesis, · trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), · spinal stenosis, · deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, · pseudarthosis, and/or · failed previous fusion.

Device Story

Malibu Spinal System comprises titanium and cobalt alloy spinal rods, caps, set screws, and sublaminar wires; used for spinal immobilization and stabilization as an adjunct to fusion. System components are implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to treat acute/chronic spinal instabilities or deformities. Implants provide mechanical support to spinal segments; facilitate fusion; intended for removal after solid fusion in specific spondylolisthesis cases. System is non-sterile; incompatible with stainless steel implants.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Mechanical testing performed to substantiate comparable mechanical properties to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy and cobalt alloy. Components: Spinal rods, caps, set screws, sublaminar wires. Form factor: Spinal fixation hardware. Sterilization: Supplied non-sterile. Connectivity: None (mechanical implant).

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring spinal immobilization/stabilization as an adjunct to fusion. Conditions: DDD, spondylolisthesis (including severe L5-S1 grades 3-4), trauma, spinal stenosis, deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, failed previous fusion. Anatomical scope: Thoracic, lumbar, sacral spine (pedicle screw/spondylolisthesis systems) or T1-L5 (hook/sublaminar wire systems).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

(1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.

Special Controls

*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards; (ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards; (iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and (iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information: “Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.” “Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.” (2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls: (i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use. (ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant. (iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. (iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments. (v) Labeling must include the following: (A) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation; (B) Intended use and indications for use, including levels of fixation; (C) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status; (D) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user; and (E) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal. (3) Class II (special controls), when a semi-rigid system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion for any indication. In addition to complying with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section, these pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls: (i) Demonstration that clinical performance characteristics of the device support the intended use of the product, including assessment of fusion compared to a clinically acceptable fusion rate. (ii) Semi-rigid systems marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must submit an amendment to their previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with the special controls in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (v) and paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section.
