Intended Use

The Genesys Spine Anterior Cervical Plate system is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine. It is to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine (C2 to C7). The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e. fractures or dislocations), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis, failed previous fusion, and/or spinal stenosis.

Device Story

System provides temporary stabilization of cervical spine during fusion; consists of metal plates and bone screws. Plates feature pre-bent sagittal/lordotic curves and posterior ridges; nitinol securement tabs prevent screw backout. Screws available in fixed or variable angle configurations; variable screws allow 24 degrees of motion. Surgeon inserts screws through plate into vertebral bodies; ratcheting feature provides audible/tactile feedback. Used in clinical setting by surgeons; stabilizes spine post-discectomy/grafting to facilitate fusion. Benefits patient by maintaining alignment during bone healing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing (static/dynamic compression bending, static torsion per ASTM F1717) and finite element/material property analysis.

Technological Characteristics

Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis. Components: plates (1-4 level constructs) and bone screws (fixed/variable angle). Features: nitinol securement tabs, ratcheting feedback mechanism. Materials: metal (specific alloys not detailed). Testing: ASTM F1717. Mechanical fixation via screw-to-plate interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring temporary stabilization of the anterior cervical spine (C2-C7) as an adjunct to fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fractures/dislocations), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis, failed fusion, and spinal stenosis.

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.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Genesys Spine Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for temporary stabilization of the cervical spine during the development of solid spinal fusion. The system consist of multiple sizes (lengths) of plates, and screws that are to be inserted into the anterior surface of adjacent cervical vertebrae. The proposed device is applied after discectomy and insertion of either an autograft material in the interbody space, and acts to stabilize the spine during fusion. The plates are offered in 1, 2, 3, and 4 level constructs in various lengths to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies. Each plate has a pre-bent sagittal and lordotic curve as well as posterior ridges to aid in the placement. Fixation is achieved by inserting bone screws through the openings in the plate into the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine. The bone screws are offered in lengths of 10, 12, 14, and 16mm. The screws are offered in a Fixed or Variable angle option. The fixed screw has a larger 'neck' outer diameter that engages with the plate thereby limiting the conical rotation of the screw while the variable screw 'neck' outer diameter which allows for 24 degrees of motion during screw insertion. This feature will allow the surgeon more flexibility when inserting and seating the screws. The screws are offered in four (4) colors based on fixed or variable geometry or 3.75mm or 4.25mm OD. The plates include a nitinol securement tab, preassembled to the plate that covers the heads of the bone screws on the lateral sides to reduce the potential for screw backout. Additionally, there is a ratcheting feature that provides an audible and tactile feel for the surgeon population during insertion.

#### INDICATIONS:

The Genesys Spine Anterior Cervical Plate system is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine. It is to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion of the cervical spine (C2 to C7). The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e. fractures or dislocations), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis, failed previous fusion, and/or spinal stenosis.

#### TEST DATA:

Static compression bending, static torsion, and dynamic compression bending were performed on the worst case construct per ASTM F1717. Test results demonstrate that the Genesys Spine Anterior Cervical Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### PERFORMANCE DATA (NONCLINICAL AND/OR CLINICAL):

NONCLINICAL PERFORMANCE AND CONCLUSION: Finite element and material property analysis as well as design verification results demonstrate that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE AND CONCLUSIONS: Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this device.
