## Intended Use

This system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine from C2 to C7 during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with: degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies, trauma (including fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, cervical myelopathy, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion.

## Device Story

Cardiff™ Anterior Cervical Plate (ACP) System is a spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis; consists of bone plates, screws, and associated instruments. Implants manufactured from Titanium 6AL-4V ELI and Nitinol SE508. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for anterior interbody screw fixation of cervical spine. Fixation achieved via bone screws inserted into vertebral body during anterior approach. Provides temporary stabilization to facilitate spinal fusion. Benefits include structural support during bone healing process.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data required.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium 6AL-4V ELI and Nitinol SE508. Components: Bone plates, screws, and associated instruments. Fixation: Anterior interbody screw fixation. Form factor: Anterior cervical plate system for C2-C7 stabilization.

## 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.
