Intended Use

The Caspian Spinal System is intended to provide stabilization as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) when used with autograft or allograft and is indicated for the following: - DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) - Spondylolisthesis - Spinal stenosis - Fracture/dislocation - Revision of previous cervical spine surgery - Tumors - Atlantoaxial fracture with instability - Occipitocervical dislocation The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. The rod and hook components are intended for use in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine. The pedicle screws are limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The pedicle screws are not intended to be placed in or treat conditions involving the cervical spine. The Caspian Spinal System can also be linked to the Range Spinal System using the 3.5mm/5.5mm rod connectors or transitional rods.

Device Story

Top-loading, posterior cervical-thoracic spinal fixation system; components include pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, hooks, and rod connectors. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide spinal immobilization as an adjunct to fusion. System provides mechanical stabilization to the cervical/upper thoracic spine (occiput-T3). Can be linked to Range Spinal System via transitional rods/connectors. Benefits patient by stabilizing spine in presence of degenerative disease, fractures, or tumors.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F1717 (static compression, static torsion, dynamic compression). No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Ti6Al4V Eli and Cobalt Chrome per ASTM and ISO standards. Top-loading, posterior spinal fixation system. Components: pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, hooks, rod connectors. Connectivity: mechanical linkage to Range Spinal System via 3.5mm/5.5mm connectors.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring stabilization as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) for DDD, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture/dislocation, revision surgery, tumors, atlantoaxial fracture with instability, or occipitocervical dislocation. Pedicle screws restricted to T1-T3 thoracic conditions; not for cervical spine.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.

### 4. Description of the device:

The Caspian Spinal System is a top-loading, multiple component, posterior (cervical-thoracic) spinal fixation system which consists of pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, hooks, and rod connectors.

Materials: The devices are manufactured from Ti6AI4V Eli and Cobalt Chrome per ASTM and ISO standards.

Function: The system functions as an adjunct to fusion to provide immobilization of the posterior cervical and thoracic spine.

### 5. Intended Use:

The Caspian Spinal System is intended to provide stabilization as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) when used with autograft or allograft and is indicated for the following:

- DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history . and radiographic studies)
- . Spondylolisthesis
- Spinal stenosis
- . Fracture/dislocation
- Revision of previous cervical spine surgery
- . Tumors
- Atlantoaxial fracture with instability .
- Occipitocervical dislocation

K103232

The occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only.

The rod and hook components are intended for use in the cervical/upper thoracic (CI-T3) spine. The pedicle screws are limited to placement in T 1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The pedicle screws are not intended to be placed in or treat conditions involving the cervical spine.

The Caspian Spinal System can also be linked to the Range Spinal System using the 3.5mm/5.5mm rod connectors or transitional rods.

- 6. Comparison of the technological characteristics of the device to predicate and legally marketed devices : The Caspian Spinal System was mechanically tested and compared to predicate devices. The Caspian Spinal System performed equally to or better than these systems in static compression, static torsion and dynamic compression in accordance with ASTM F1717. The design features and sizing of the components were also compared and the Caspian Spinal System was found to be substantially the same as these systems.
There are no significant differences between the Caspian Spinal System and other systems currently being marketed which would adversely affect the use of the product. It is substantially equivalent to these other devices in design, function, material and intended use.
