For transfacet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet ioint, and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the lamina, through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following: pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; spondylolisthesis; spondylolysis: degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies; degeneration of the facets with instability and trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations. ## Device Story ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System consists of cannulated, partially threaded titanium alloy screws, available with or without washers. Used by surgeons to stabilize the spine via bilateral immobilization of facet joints at levels L1-S1. Screws are inserted posteriorly using either transfacet or translaminar techniques to cross the facet joint into the pedicle. System aids spinal fusion, with or without bone graft, to address instability, deformity, or degenerative conditions. Titanium alloy construction requires avoidance of contact with stainless steel implants to prevent galvanic corrosion. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Implants fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy (ASTM F136, F1295) with HA coating (ASTM F1185). Cannulated, partially threaded screw design. Manual surgical instrumentation used for implantation. ## Predicate Devices - CORRIDOR Fixation System ([K083442](/device/K083442.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Director, Clinical Affairs & Regulatory | Device Name: ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System Classification: Product Code MRW. Unclassified. CORRIDOR Fixation System (K083442) Predicate(s): ### Device Description: The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System consists of screws designed to compact juxtaposed facet articular processes to enhance spinal fusion. The cannulated, partially threaded screws are available with or without a washer, and in various diameters and lengths to accommodate patient anatomy. The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System implants are fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136, F1295 and HA coated as specified in ASTM F1185. Due to the risk of galvanic corrosion following implantation, titanium alloy implants should not be used in the same construct as stainless steel implants. ### Intended Use: The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System is intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints, with or without bone araft, at single or multiple levels, from L1 to S1. For transfacet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the superior side of the facet, across the facet ioint, and into the pedicle. For translaminar facet fixation, the screws are inserted posteriorly through the lateral aspect of the spinous process, through the lamina, through the superior side of the facet, across the facet joint, and into the pedicle. The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System is indicated for treatment of any or all of the following: pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; spondylolisthesis; spondylolysis: degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies; degeneration of the facets with instability and trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations. ### Basis for Substantial Equivalence: The ZYFUSE™ Facet Fixation System is similar in terms of indications, design, materials, and performance, to currently marketed devices. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
