Intended Use
The Chiral Surgical Pedicle Screw System is a posterior non-cervical pedicle screw system intended for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis) of the lumbosacral spine vertebra and implants are removable after the attainment of a solid fusion. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment.
Device Story
Top-loading posterior spinal fixation system; consists of pedicle screws, rods, nuts, and transverse connectors. Used by surgeons to build spinal implant constructs to stabilize and promote fusion in the lumbosacral spine. Implants are non-sterile, single-use, and removable after solid fusion. Provides mechanical stabilization of the spine.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included static axial compression, static torsion, and dynamic axial compression bending per ASTM F1717 to 5,000,000 cycles.
Technological Characteristics
Top-loading posterior spinal fixation system. Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136 or Cobalt Chrome per ASTM F1537. Non-sterile, single-use. Mechanical stabilization via pedicle screws, rods, nuts, and transverse connectors.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (Grade 3-4) with neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, or pseudarthrosis of the lumbosacral spine requiring fusion. Requires 6 months of prior non-operative treatment.
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.

### PERFORMANCE DATA
The Chiral Surgical Pedicle Screw System has been tested in the following test modes:
- Static axial compression per ASTM F1717
- Static torsion per ASTM F1717 ●
- Dynamic axial compression bending per ASTM F1717 to estimate the maximum run out load value at 5 000 000 cycles
The results of this non-clinical testing show that the strength of the Chiral Surgical Pedicle Screw System is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
### CONCLUSION
The overall technology characteristics and mechanical performance data lead to the conclusion that the Chiral Surgical Pedicle Screw System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
