Except for hooks, when used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar, or anterior cervical system, BASIS components are intended for the following indications: (1) spinal stenosis, (2) spondylolisthesis, (3) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, and/or lordosis), (4) fracture, (5) pseudarthrosis, (6) tumor resection, and/or (7) failed previous fusion. ## Device Story BASIS Spinal System is a spinal fixation implant set comprising titanium/titanium alloy hooks, screws, and rods. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize the spine; components are rigidly locked into patient-specific configurations to address spinal pathologies including stenosis, deformity, and trauma. System provides mechanical support to facilitate fusion or stabilization. No software or electronic components involved. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: medical grade titanium and titanium alloy. Components: hooks, screws, rods. Configuration: rigid locking mechanism. Energy source: none (mechanical). Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified. ## 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 - CD HORIZON Spinal System ([K042025](/device/K042025.md)) - CD HORIZON Spinal System ([K020709](/device/K020709.md)) - CD HORIZON Spinal System ([K981676](/device/K981676.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
