Device Story

Everest Spinal System is a top-loading, posterior thoracolumbar spinal fixation system; components include pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, and hooks. Used as an adjunct to spinal fusion to provide immobilization and stabilization. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Minimally invasive implants added to existing system. Mechanical stabilization achieved through rigid fixation of spinal segments.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F1717 (static compression, static torsion, dynamic compression) to compare subject device components against predicate systems.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium Alloy and Cobalt Chrome per ASTM and ISO standards. Form factor: Top-loading, multiple component posterior spinal fixation system (pedicle screws, rods, locking set screws, hooks). Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for non-cervical posterior stabilization as an adjunct to fusion in patients with trauma, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion. Also indicated for severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3-4) at L5-S1 in skeletally mature patients. Non-pedicle components indicated for degenerative disc disease.

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.

## 6. Comparison of the technological characteristics of the device to predicate and legally marketed devices :

The minimally invasive components of the Everest Spinal System were mechanically tested and compared to predicate devices. The subject device 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 found to be substantially the same as these systems.

There are no significant differences between the Everest 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.
