## Intended Use

The Cyclone™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended to provide stabilization during the process of cervical spinal fusion (C2-C7) 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), pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions.

## Device Story

Cyclone™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a spinal fixation orthosis. Device consists of titanium alloy (ASTM F136) cervical plates with pre-assembled locking mechanisms and unicortical screws. Plates available in one-level to three-level fusion configurations (14mm-69mm). Screws provided in standard (4mm diameter) and rescue (4.4mm diameter) sizes. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to provide stabilization during cervical spinal fusion procedures. Device functions as a mechanical construct to immobilize spinal segments, facilitating fusion and potentially reducing pain and deformity in patients with degenerative, traumatic, or neoplastic spinal conditions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) cervical plates and unicortical screws. Mechanical fixation via pre-assembled locking mechanism. Plate lengths 14mm-69mm; screw diameters 4mm (standard) and 4.4mm (rescue).

## 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

- Zephir Anterior Cervical Plate ([K994239](/device/K994239.md))

#### (4) Subject device description:

The Cyclone™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is a fixation device consisting of cervical plates (locking mechanism is pre-assembled to plates) and unicortical screws made from titanium alloy in conformance with ASTM F136. The plates are offered in one-level, two-level, and three-level fusion configurations (14mm-69mm). There are four different lengths of the standard 4mm diameter screw (12, 14, 16, and 18mm). The rescue screw has a diameter of 4.4mm and lengths are 12, 14 and 16mm.

#### (5) Subiect device intended use:

The Cyclone™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended to provide stabilization during the process of cervical spinal fusion (C2-C7) 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), pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusions.

#### Basis for Substantial Equivalence: (6)

The Cyclone™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is similar in design, indications and materials to Centerpulse Spine-Tech's Trinica Select Anterior Cervical Plate (K022344) and Medtronic Sofamor Danek's Zephir Anterior Cervical Plate (K994239).

Dear Ms. De Los Santos:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
