Intended Use
The Streamline OCT Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion when using autograft for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1 to C7) and the thoracic spine (T1 to T3): traumatic spinal fractures and/ or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity; failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical/thoracic spine; and degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The system is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the Streamline OCT System may be connected to the Quantum Spinal Fixation System, Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System or Streamline TL Spinal System using connectors and/or transition rods.
Device Story
The Streamline OCT System is a posterior spinal fixation construct consisting of rods, hooks, polyaxial screws, high-angle screws, locking caps, occipital plates, and occipital screws. It is used by surgeons in an operating room setting to immobilize and stabilize spinal segments. The system components are assembled to create a rigid construct that provides mechanical support to the craniocervical, cervical, and thoracic spine. It may be connected to other RTI spinal systems (Quantum, MIS, TL) via transition rods or connectors to extend fixation levels. The device benefits patients by providing structural stability for fusion or temporary support in palliative tumor cases, thereby addressing spinal instability and associated pain or neurological symptoms.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were conducted. Evidence of substantial equivalence is based on engineering analysis, mechanical testing (ASTM F1717 and ASTM F2706), and a review of published literature. Testing demonstrated that the subject system performs comparably to predicate devices, with no new risks to safety or effectiveness identified.
Technological Characteristics
Construct components manufactured from ASTM F136 titanium alloy and ASTM F1537 cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy. System includes rods, hooks, polyaxial/high-angle screws, locking caps, and occipital plates. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F1717 and ASTM F2706. Non-active, mechanical implant system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acute/chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, cervical spine (C1-C7), and thoracic spine (T1-T3) requiring immobilization as an adjunct to fusion. Conditions include traumatic fractures/dislocations, instability/deformity, pseudarthrosis, tumors, and degenerative disease (radiculopathy, arm pain, facet instability). Also indicated for spinal column integrity restoration in patients with advanced cervical tumors and limited life expectancy where fusion is not achievable.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Posterior cervical screw systems are comprised of multiple, interconnecting components, made from a variety of materials that allow an implant system to be built from the occiput to the upper thoracic spine to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements, as determined by preoperative cross-sectional imaging. Such a spinal assembly consists of a combination of bone anchors via screws (i.e., occipital screws, cervical lateral mass screws, cervical pedicle screws, C2 pars screws, C2 translaminar screws, C2 transarticular screws), longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods, including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors), and closure mechanisms (e.g., set screws, nuts). Posterior cervical screw systems are rigidly fixed devices that do not contain dynamic features, including but not limited to: non-uniform longitudinal elements or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.Posterior cervical screw systems are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in patients as an adjunct to fusion for acute and chronic instabilities of the cervical spine and/or craniocervical junction and/or cervicothoracic junction such as: (1) Traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; (2) deformities; (3) instabilities; (4) failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); (5) tumors; (6) inflammatory disorders; (7) spinal degeneration, including neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI); (8) degeneration of the facets with instability; and (9) reconstruction following decompression to treat radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. These systems are also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for posterior cervical screw systems are:(1) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(2) Nonclinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(3) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(4) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
(5) Labeling must include the following:
(i) A clear description of the technological features of the device including identification of device materials and the principles of device operation;
(ii) Intended use and indications for use including levels of fixation;
(iii) Device specific warnings, precautions, and contraindications that include the following statements:
(A) “Precaution: Preoperative planning prior to implantation of posterior cervical screw systems should include review of cross-sectional imaging studies (
*e.g.,* CT and/or MRI) to evaluate the patient's cervical anatomy including the transverse foramen, neurologic structures, and the course of the vertebral arteries. If any findings would compromise the placement of these screws, other surgical methods should be considered. In addition, use of intraoperative imaging should be considered to guide and/or verify device placement, as necessary.”(B) “Precaution: Use of posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation at the C3 through C6 spinal levels requires careful consideration and planning beyond that required for lateral mass screws placed at these spinal levels, given the proximity of the vertebral arteries and neurologic structures in relation to the cervical pedicles at these levels.”
(iv) Identification of magnetic resonance (MR) compatibility status;
(v) Cleaning and sterilization instructions for devices and instruments that are provided non-sterile to the end user, and;
(vi) Detailed instructions of each surgical step, including device removal.
