## Intended Use

The ELLIPSE™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System is intended to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion using autograft or allograft. for stabilization of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) for the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, atlanto/axial fracture with instability, occipitocervical dislocation, revision of previous cervical spine surgerv, and tumors, The use of polyaxial screws is limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3) in treating thoracic conditions only. They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. Occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation: thev are not intended for fixation of the posterior cervical spine. The ELLIPSE™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System 3.5mm rods can also be linked to rod systems ranging in diameter from 3.5mm to 6.5mm, including the PROTEX® REVERE® or BEACON™ Stabilization Systems, using corresponding parallel connectors.

## Device Story

Spinal fixation system for stabilization of cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction. Components include 3.5mm rods, polyaxial screws, hooks, locking caps, and various connectors. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide structural support as adjunct to fusion. Implants are rigid hardware; no electronic or software components. System allows linking to other rod systems (PROTEX, REVERE, BEACON) via parallel connectors. Provides mechanical stabilization to treat degenerative conditions, fractures, and tumors; helps facilitate bone fusion.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136, F1472, or F1295) or stainless steel (ASTM F138). Components: 3.5mm rods, polyaxial screws, hooks, locking caps, t-connectors, lateral connectors, parallel connectors, occipital plates, tapered rods. Mechanical fixation system; no energy source or software.

## 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.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The ELLIPSE™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System consists of 3.5mm rods, polyaxial screws, hooks, locking caps, t-connectors, lateral connectors, parallel connectors, occipital plates, and tapered rods. The implants are composed of titanium alloy (per ASTM F136, F1472, or F1295), or stainless steel (per ASTM F138). Due to the risk of galvanic corrosion following implantation, titanium alloy implants should not be connected to stainless steel implants.

### INTENDED USE:

The ELLIPSE™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System is intended to be used in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion using autograft or allograft. for stabilization of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (occiput-T3) for the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, atlanto/axial fracture with instability, occipitocervical dislocation, revision of previous cervical spine surgerv, and tumors,

The use of polyaxial screws is limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3) in treating thoracic conditions only. They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. Occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation: thev are not intended for fixation of the posterior cervical spine.

The ELLIPSE™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System 3.5mm rods can also be linked to rod systems ranging in diameter from 3.5mm to 6.5mm, including the PROTEX® REVERE® or BEACON™ Stabilization Systems, using corresponding parallel connectors.
