The System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis, or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions. ## Device Story EBI VueLock™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a spinal fixation device consisting of titanium plates and screws. Plates feature a locking ring mechanism to secure screws. Designed to span one to four levels of the cervical spine. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for temporary stabilization during spinal fusion procedures. This submission introduces self-drilling screws to the existing system. The device provides mechanical support to the anterior spine to facilitate fusion, potentially benefiting patients by stabilizing the spine in cases of trauma, deformity, or degenerative disease. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Components manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136. System consists of plates and screws with a locking ring mechanism. Designed for anterior cervical spinal fixation. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions. ## Predicate Devices - EBI VueLock™ Anterior Cervical Plate System ([K023133](/device/K023133.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
