Intended Use

The JASPER Spinal Fixation System is non-cervical spinal fixation devices intended for use as posterior pedicle screw fixation systems (T1-S2/ilium), or as an anterolateral fixation system (T8-L5). All components in the system are limited to skeletally mature patients. These devices are indicated as an adjunct to fusion for all of the following indications regardless of the intended use: The JASPER Spinal Fixation System is indicated for the following: - Degenerative Disc Disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) - Spondylolisthesis - Trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation) - Deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) - Tumor - Stenosis - Pseudoarthrosis - Failed previous fusion The JASPER Spinal Fixation System is a pedicle screw system indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal of the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion. In addition, the JASPER Spinal Fixation System is intended to provide immobilization 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: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, spinal tumor and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis).

Device Story

JASPER Spinal Fixation System is a top-loading, posterior thoraco-lumbar spinal fixation system; components include screws, hooks, rods, set screws, cross links, and connectors. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to build spinal implant constructs; stabilizes segments to promote fusion. System provides immobilization for acute/chronic spinal instabilities or deformities. Benefits include structural support for bone healing in skeletally mature patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included static compression bending, static torsion, and fatigue compression bending (ASTM F1717-15), as well as static and torsional gripping capacity and transverse moment testing (ASTM F1798).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, ASTM F136) and CoCrMo alloy (Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum, ASTM F1537). Design: Top-loading, multi-component posterior spinal fixation system. Mechanical testing standards: ASTM F1717-15, ASTM F1798.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring non-cervical spinal fixation (T1-S2/ilium posterior or T8-L5 anterolateral) as an adjunct to fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis (including severe Grade 3/4 L5-S1), trauma (fracture/dislocation), deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, stenosis, pseudoarthrosis, and 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.
