Intended Use

The EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 Spine Systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. The EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 Spine System metallic components are intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvaures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. When used in a posterior percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation, the VIPER/VIPER2 System metallic components are intended for noncervical pedicle fixation and nonpedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 PEEK rods are only indicated for fusion procedures for spinal stenosis with instability (no greater than Grade I spondylolisthesis) from LI-SI in skeletally mature patients. When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 System metallic implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 systems are intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

Device Story

Pedicle screw and rod system for spinal stabilization and fusion; includes EXPEDIUM and VIPER/VIPER2 components. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat spinal deformities and instabilities. System components (screws, rods, connectors) provide mechanical immobilization of spinal segments. Metallic components (titanium, stainless steel, cobalt-chrome) and PEEK rods implanted via posterior or percutaneous MIS approaches. Device provides structural support to facilitate bone fusion; intended for use with autograft or allograft. No electronic or software components.

Clinical Evidence

No new clinical testing performed. Substantial equivalence supported by published clinical results and engineering analysis.

Technological Characteristics

Pedicle screw spinal system. Materials: Commercially pure titanium/titanium alloy (ASTM F-67, F-136, F-1472), stainless steel (ASTM F-138, F-1314, F-2229), cobalt-nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy (ASTM F-562), cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy (ASTM F-1537), and PEEK. Mechanical fixation components include screws, rods, and connectors. No energy source, software, or connectivity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with acute/chronic spinal instabilities or deformities (thoracic, lumbar, sacral) requiring immobilization/stabilization as adjunct to fusion. Specific conditions: degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, failed previous fusion. PEEK rods indicated for spinal stenosis with instability (Grade I spondylolisthesis) L1-S1. Pediatric indication: adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (posterior approach only). Used with autograft/allograft.

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.
