Intended Use
The Infinity™ OCT System is intended to provide immobilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1 to C7), and the thoracic spine from T1-T3: - Traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations. - Instability or deformity. - Failed previous fusions (e.g. pseudarthrosis). - Tumors involving the cervical spine. - Degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the facets with instability. The Infinity™ OCT System is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion. The Infinity™ OCT System may be used with PASS OCT Patient Specific UNiD OCT rods. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the Infinity™ OCT System may be connected to the CD Horizon™ Spinal System and Vertex™ Reconstruction System rods with the Infinity™ OCT System rod connectors. Transition rods with differing diameters may also be used to connect the Infinity™ OCT System to the CD Horizon™ Spinal System. Refer to the CD Horizon™ Spinal System package insert, Vertex™ Reconstruction System and PASS OCT Spinal System package insert for a list of the indications of use.
Device Story

Surgeon implants components to immobilize spinal segments; provides structural support during fusion or palliative stabilization for tumors. Operates via rigid locking of components to rods; configuration tailored to individual patient anatomy. Benefits include spinal stabilization and restoration of column integrity. Used in surgical settings by trained spinal surgeons.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic compression bending and static and dynamic torsion testing performed per ASTM F1717 to confirm mechanical integrity and substantial equivalence. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
System components: plates, rods, hooks, screws, multi-axial screws, and connectors. Materials: medical grade titanium alloy (ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3), cobalt chromium (ASTM F1537/ISO 5832-12), and PEEK OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026). Mechanical fixation via rigid locking configurations. Not for pedicle fixation in lower thoracic/lumbar spine. Segmental fixation recommended.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acute/chronic instabilities of craniocervical junction, cervical spine (C1-C7), and thoracic spine (T1-T3) requiring immobilization/stabilization as adjunct to fusion or for spinal column integrity in advanced tumor cases. Conditions include traumatic fractures/dislocations, instability/deformity, pseudarthrosis, tumors, and degenerative disease (radiculopathy, myelopathy, discogenic pain). Not for pedicle fixation in lower thoracic (T4-T12) or lumbar spine.
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.

The PASS OCT® Patient Specific Rod is to be implanted either with PASS OCT®Spinal System or with Infinity™ OCT Spinal System.
Warning: mixing PASS OCT® and Infinity OCT Spinal Systems connection components is not allowed for the PASS OCT® Patient Specific Rod implantation, as the operating principle for screw attachment or fixation is unsimilar between the two systems and will cause a misalignment of the rod. Mixing lateral loading screw system and top loading screw system is prohibited.
Warning: This device is not approved for screw attachment or fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of lower thoracic (T4-T12), or lumbar spine.
Caution: To be used by or according to the prescription of a licensed physician.
Implantation should only be performed by a surgeon who is familiar with the device, its intended use, dedicated instruments, and understands all aspects of the surgical procedure.
#### Comparison of the Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device: V.
When using the PASS OCT® System Patient Specific UNiD OCT Rods and the Infinity OCT System together; there is no change to the fundamental scientific technology, indications for use, intended use, materials, and levels of attachment as the predicate Infinity™ OCT System devices and PASS OCT® Spinal System UNiD OCT rods.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The difference between the primary predicate and subject devices is that rods currently used with the predicate Infinity™ OCT System are cut and bent by the surgeon based on the need of the individual case, while the PASS OCT® System UNiD OCT Rods are directly adapted to a unique patient. However, both the subject and predicate systems are intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the craniocervical, cervical, and/or upper thoracic spine (occiput-T3).
#### Performance Data: VI.
In accordance with the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Spinal System 510(k)'s, Medtronic has evaluated the subject devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
Rationales were provided confirming that the use of the PASS OCT® System Patient Specific UNiD OCT Rods did not introduce a new worst case when used with the Infinity™ OCT System. However, confirmatory testing (static and dynamic compression bending and static and dynamic torsion per ASTM F1717) performed met the pre-determined acceptance criteria. Therefore, Medtronic believes that the testing confirmed that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
#### VII. Conclusions
Based on the test results and supporting information provided in this premarket notification, Medtronic believes the Infinity™ OCT System devices when used with the PASS OCT® System Patient Specific UNiD OCT Rods are at least as safe as and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices.
