Plates feature integrated locking mechanism to prevent screw-backout; dynamic design allows uni-directional axial movement for postoperative load sharing between plate and graft. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize spine during fusion development. Benefits patient by providing temporary structural support to facilitate solid spinal fusion. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F-1717 to verify design changes. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Components: Bone plates, screws, surgical instruments. Mechanism: Integrated locking mechanism for screws; dynamic plate system for uni-directional axial movement. Sterilization: Supplied sterile or non-sterile. ## 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 - Spinal Concepts SC-AcuFix Anterior Cervical Plate System ([K990005](/device/K990005.md) and [K013979](/device/K013979.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Class II. Spinal Fixation System Ant-Cer Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System Spinal Concepts SC-AcuFix Anterior Cervical Plate System. (K990005 and K013979). This is a design modification per established design control procedures. #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Ant-Cer Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of bone plates, screws and surgical instruments. The screws are used to secure the plates to the vertebral bodies of the cervical spine through an anterior approach. The plates have an integrated locking mechanism that captures the screw upon full insertion, preventing screw-backout. The Ant-Cer system is a dynamic plate system that provides for uni-directional axial movement to ensure postoperative load sharing between the plate and graft. Plates and screws are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F-136) and may be supplied sterile or non-sterile. #### INDICATIONS The Ant-Cer Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the cervical spine (C2-C7) during the development of solid spinal fusion in patients with instability caused by the following: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), turnor, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, deformity (i.e., scoliosis, lordosis), pseudarthrosis, and failed previous fusions. #### MECHANICAL TEST DATA Mechanical testing data, including data collected in accordance with ASTM 1717, was collected to verify that the design changes met established design requirements. 5301 Riata Park Court, Bldg.
