The LEUCADIA AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System is intended to be used as an adjunct to fusion using autograft or allograft in posterior, non-cervical fixation for the following conditions: 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, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor pseudarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion.
Device Story
Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System; temporary spinal fixation implant. System comprises titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) screws and rods; multi-axial screws (5-8mm diameters) connect to 5.5mm rods. Unique set screw interface prevents backout. Used by surgeons in posterior, non-cervical spinal procedures to provide immobilization and stabilization during fusion. Implant removed after solid fusion. Benefits patient by correcting spinal alignment and facilitating bone fusion in degenerative or traumatic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biomechanical testing performed per ASTM F1717-11 (static compression bending, static torsion, dynamic compression bending) and ASTM F1798-97 (2008) (static axial gripping capacity, static A-P and axial torque). Results demonstrated equivalence to predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. Components: Multi-axial pedicle screws (5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm) and 5.5mm connecting rods. Interface: Specialized set screw design to prevent backout. Energy source: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring posterior, non-cervical spinal fixation as an adjunct to fusion (using autograft or allograft) for degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture/dislocation), spinal stenosis, spinal curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumors, pseudarthrosis, or failed previous fusion.
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.

Device Description and Characteristics:
The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System is intended to help provide correction, immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral space.
The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System consists of a variety of rods and screws, which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor made for the individual case. The Multi-axial AutoLok™ screws are supplied in 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8 mm diameter sizes. All sizes are able to receive 5.5mm connecting rods only. The unique pedicle screw and set screw interface is designed to prevent backout of the set screw from the construct. The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System implant components are fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136 or equivalent.
The Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System is a temporary implant system, intended to be removed after solid fusion has occurred. Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System implant components should not be used with components from any other system or manufacturer. As with all orthopedic implants, Leucadia AutoLok™ Pedicle Screw System components should not be reused.
