Intended Use
When used as a pedicle screw fixation system in the non-cervical posterior spine in skeletally mature patients, the TSRH® System is indicated for one or more of the following: (1) degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, (3) fracture, (4) dislocation, (5) scoliosis, (6) kyphosis, (7) spinal turnor, and/or (8) failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the TSRH® Spinal System is indicated for skeletally mature patients: (1) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-S1) joint; (2) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (3) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (4) 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 TSRH® 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) spondylolisthesis, (3) fracture, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) spinal stenosis, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) turnor resection, and/or (8) unsuccessful previous attempts at spinal fusion. For anterior use only the TSRH® Spinal System has the additional indications of: (1) spinal stenosis and/or, (2) spondylolysis.
Device Story
TSRH® Spinal System is a modular orthopedic implant set for spinal stabilization/fusion; components include rods, hooks, screws, cross connectors, and bolts. Used in thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine; hooks for posterior use; staples for anterior use. Components are rigidly locked into patient-specific configurations by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical immobilization to facilitate bone fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments affected by deformity, degeneration, or trauma. System is fabricated from stainless steel or titanium alloys.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and risk analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Modular spinal fixation system; components include rods, hooks, screws, cross connectors, and bolts. Materials: stainless steel, medical grade titanium, or titanium alloy. Rigid locking mechanism. Sold sterile or non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring spinal immobilization/stabilization as an adjunct to fusion. Conditions include degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, pseudarthrosis, spinal stenosis, lordosis, and spondylolysis. Specific pedicle screw use restricted to L3 and below for severe L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with autogenous bone graft.
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.
