## Intended Use

The MSD CABLE REDUCTION SYSTEM screws and hooks are only intended for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. The system provides an alternative to sublaminar and intraspinous process wiring for trauma applications. Another application is the use of the MSD CABLE REDUCTION SYSTEM for instrumentation involved in the correction of scoliotic, kyphotic, and lordotic deformities. The system may also be used with other spinal implants such as the MSD Unit Rod, the ATLAS™ CABLE System or the Luque Rod, or wherever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

## Device Story

MSD Cable Reduction System is a temporary orthopedic implant system consisting of multi-stranded cables and ancillary components (screws, hooks). Used in thoracic and lumbar spine surgery to provide temporary stabilization, augment bony fusion, or repair bone fractures. Operates as a mechanical fixation device; functions as an alternative to traditional wiring techniques. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure spinal implants (e.g., MSD Unit Rod, Luque Rod). Provides structural support to aid in deformity correction and bone healing. Sold sterile or non-sterile.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Medical grade stainless steel (ASTM F-138, ISO 5832-1/9), titanium alloy (ASTM F-136, ISO 5832-3), or pure titanium (ASTM F-67, ISO 5832-2). Mechanical fixation system consisting of multi-stranded cables, screws, and hooks. Non-electronic, non-software device.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- ATLAS™ CABLE System

## Reference Devices

- MSD Unit Rod
- Luque Rod

Dear Dr. Treharne:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
