In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is indicated for skeletally mature patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. When used as a posterior, non-cervical, non-pedicle screw fixation system, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion. When used in a percutaneous posterior approach with the SEXTANT instrumentation, the CD HORIZON® CANNULATED M8 MULTI-AXIAL SCREW components are intended for the following indications: When used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the CD HORIZON® CANNULATED M8 MULTI-AXIAL SCREW components are also indicated for skeletally mature patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. In addition, when used as a posterior spine thoracic/lumbar system, the CD HORIZON® CANNULATED M8 MULTI-AXIAL SCREW components are intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., degenerative scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion. The CD HORIZON® ECLIPSE™ components are intended for the following indications: When used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion. In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System rods may be connected to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System with the VERTEX™ rod connector. When connecting to the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System in the cervical spine, components are intended for the following indications: When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the thoracic spine, (C1-T3), the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System is indicated for the following: DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, failed previous fusion and/or tumors. Hooks and Rods: The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine. Screws/Lateral Connectors: The use of screws (3.5mm and 4.0mm cancellous, and 4.0mm cortical) is limited to placement in T1-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. The screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. Titanium ATLAS™ Cable and the CD HORIZON® Spinal System may be used with the VERTEX™ Reconstruction System.
Device Story
Spinal fixation system comprising rods, hooks, screws, plates, staples, and connectors; components rigidly locked into patient-specific configurations. Used in posterior, anterior, or percutaneous approaches to stabilize spine; promote fusion. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Input: patient anatomy/pathology; Output: mechanical stabilization of spinal segments. Benefits: correction of deformities, stabilization of fractures, treatment of degenerative conditions. Integrates with VERTEX™ Reconstruction System via rod connectors. Components fabricated from stainless steel or titanium/titanium alloy; anterior staples utilize Nitinol (NiTi) shape memory alloy. System components are non-reusable.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and risk analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade stainless steel (ASTM F138/ISO 5832-9) or titanium/titanium alloy (ASTM F67/F136, ISO 5832-3/2). Anterior staples: Nitinol (NiTi) shape memory alloy. Mechanical fixation via rods, hooks, screws, and connectors. Not for use with mixed metals (stainless steel/titanium) in same construct.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring spinal fixation for degenerative spondylolisthesis, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, pseudarthrosis, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis. Specific indications for severe L5-S1 spondylolisthesis (Grades 3-4) using autogenous bone graft. Cervical/thoracic (C1-T3) use for trauma/fusion. Contraindications: Do not use stainless steel and titanium components in the same construct; do not reuse implants.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.
