Intended Use
The SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System (FFS) is indicated for the posterior surgical treatment at L1-S1 (inclusive) spinal levels for the following: Spondylolisthesis; Spondylolysis; Pseudarthrosis or failed previous fusions which are symptomatic; Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies and/or degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The system is intended for use with only autogenous bone graft material.
Device Story
SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System (FFS) is a permanent, cannulated, fenestrated spinal implant; constructed from Cobalt Chrome alloy (ASTM 1537). Implanted via posterior approach to provide mechanical support and stability to spinal levels L1-S1 until biologic fusion occurs. Fenestrations allow for delivery of autogenous bone graft; system prohibits use with bone cement. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for spinal stabilization. Output is mechanical fixation; clinical benefit is stabilization of spinal segments to facilitate fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance demonstrated via static and dynamic 3-point bending, screw axial pullout, and torque to failure testing per ASTM F543-07, F2193-02, and F1264-03.
Indicated for posterior surgical treatment at L1-S1 for patients with spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, symptomatic pseudarthrosis/failed fusions, or degenerative disc disease (DDD) with discogenic back pain and/or facet instability. Intended for use with autogenous bone graft only.

| PROPOSED TRADE NAME: | SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System | |
| PREPARATION DATE: | 10/22/13 | |
| DEVICE CLASSIFICATION: | Unclassified | |
| CLASSIFICATION NAME: | System, Facet Screw Spinal Device | |
| PRODUCT CODE: | MRW | |
| DEVICE DESCRIPTION: | The SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System (FFS) is a permanent implant device made<br>from Cobalt Chrome Alloy Per ASTM 1537. It is to be implanted from the<br>posterior approach. The device is provided in one diameter and multiple lengths<br>to accommodate the various anatomy of the spine. The device is intended to<br>provide mechanical support and stability to the implanted level until biologic<br>fusion is achieved. The SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System is cannulated and<br>fenestrated which allows it to be used as a delivery system for bone graft. The<br>system is not to be used with bone cement. | |
| INDICATIONS FOR USE: | The SS Fenestrated Facet Screw System (FFS) is indicated for the posterior surgical<br>treatment at L1-S1 (inclusive) spinal levels for the following: Spondylolisthesis;<br>Spondylolysis; Pseudarthrosis or failed previous fusions which are symptomatic;<br>Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with<br>degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies and/or<br>degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The system is intended for use<br>with only autogenous bone graft material. | |
| MATERIALS: | Medical grade Cobalt Chrome Alloy. | |
| PREDICATE DEVICES: | • Trans1 Facet Screw (K073515)<br>• X-Spine Systems Zygafix Spinal Facet Screw System (K123932) | |
| TECHNOLOGIC<br>CHARACTERISTICS: | The fundamental scientific principles and technological characteristics, including<br>the intended use, general design, and sizes of the devices are the same as, or similar<br>to, the predicate devices. | |
| PERFORMANCE DATA: | Testing of the FFS to demonstrate substantial equivalence included static and<br>dynamic 3-point bending, screw axial pullout, and torque to failure. The testing<br>standards utilized were, ASTM F543-07 "Standard Specification and Test Methods<br>for Metallic Medical Bone Screws", F2193-02, "Standard Specifications and Test | |
{1}------------------------------------------------
Methods for Components Used in the Surgical Fixation of the Spinal Skeletal System," and ASTM F1264-03 "Standard Specification and Test Methods for Intrameduliary Fixation Devices."
The Spectrum Spine Fenestrated Facet Screw System (FFS) is substantially SAFETY & EFFECTIVENESS: equivalent to the predicate device (K073515). The devices have the same "Indications for Use", are available by prescription only, and are provided nonsterile for single-use only. The device has fenestrations to allow for the optional packing of bone graft similar to the predicate (K123932). The FFS system differs from the predicates in that the FFS is made from Cobalt Chrome alloy while the predicates are made from Titanium alloy. This differences does not negatively impact the overall safety and effectiveness of the device. Therefore it can be concluded that the FFS is both a safe and effective device and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
