## Intended Use

The Indus™ Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior spine fixation for use in providing temporary stabilization during the development of cervical spinal fusions. The levels of treatment range from C2 to T1. Indications include symptomatic cervical spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis and or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), and re-operation for failed fusion or instability following surgery for above indications.

## Device Story

Indus Anterior Cervical Plate System provides temporary stabilization for cervical spinal fusions (C2-T1). System comprises titanium alloy plates and self-tapping/self-drilling screws. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to fixate vertebrae during fusion procedures. Device components are non-sterile and single-use. Mechanical fixation supports bone healing; output is physical stabilization of spinal segments. Benefits include restoration of spinal alignment and support for fusion in patients with degenerative, traumatic, or neoplastic conditions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via mechanical bench testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F 136. System includes plates and screws (self-tapping/self-drilling). Non-sterile, single-use. Mechanical fixation device.

## 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.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

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.
