Levels of anterior cervical intervertebral body screw fixation for this indication are from C2-T1. Warning: This device is not approved or intended for screw attachment of fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. ## Device Story Quintex Cervical Plating System consists of dynamic and semi-constrained plates, screws, and associated instruments; used for anterior cervical spinal fixation. Device provides stabilization for cervical instability; indicated for levels C2-T1. Surgeons perform implantation via anterior approach; screws inserted into vertebral body. System modifications involve minor changes to screw and screwdriver design. Device provides mechanical support to facilitate fusion; benefits patient by stabilizing spine and addressing instability from various pathologies. Non-clinical testing confirms performance equivalence to predicate. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical biomechanical bench testing, including off-axis screw insertion, redirection of screw trajectory, and intentional pry-out testing. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Titanium Alloy/Phynox. Components: Dynamic and semi-constrained plates, screws, and instruments. Fixation: Anterior cervical intervertebral body screw fixation (C2-T1). Non-sterile. Mechanical device; no software or energy source. ## 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 - AIS Quintex Cervical Plating System ([K100243](/device/K100243.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Quintex Cervical Plating System SEP 1 1 2012 August 20, 2012 COMPANY: Aesculap Implant Systems, Inc. 3773 Corporate Parkway Center Valley, PA 18034 Establishment Registration Number: 3005673311 CONTACT: Lisa M. Boyle 800-258-1946 (phone) 610-791-6882 (fax) TRADE NAME: Quintex Cervical Plating System COMMON NAME: Anterior Cervical Screw Spinal Fixation System CLASSIFICATION NAME: Spinal Intervertebral Body Fixation Orthosis (87KWQ) REGULATION NUMBER: 888.3060 #### PURPOSE FOR PREMARKET NOTIFICATION The Quintex Cervical Plating System described in this submission represents minor changes implemented to the Quintex screw and screwdriver. # SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE Aesculap Implant Systems (AIS), Inc., believes that the modifications to Quintex Cervical Plating System is substantially equivalent to the AIS Quintex Cervical Plating System (K100243). #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Aesculap Implant Systems (AIS) Quintex Cervical Plating System consists of dynamic and semi-constrained plate, screws and associated instruments. Fixation is provided by bone screws inserted into the vertebral body of the cervical spine using an anterior approach. The AIS Cervical Plating System is manufactured from Titanium Alloy/Phynox and will be provided non-sterile. ### INDICATIONS FOR USE The Quintex Cervical Plating System is intended for the treatment of cervical spinal instability resulting from: - . Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), - Spondylolisthesis, . - Trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation), . {1}------------------------------------------------ - Spinal Stenosis. - Deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), - . Tumors. - . Pseudoarthrosis as a result of failed spine surgery, - Failed previous fusions, ● - Symptomatic cervical spondylosis, ● - Instability following surgery for the above indications. . Levels of anterior cervical intervertebral body screw fixation for this indication are from C2-T1. Warning: This device is not approved or intended for screw attachment of fixation to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine. K121801 # TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS (compared to Predicate(s)} The AIS Quintex Cervical Plating System remains substantially equivalent to current Quintex Cervical Plating System (K100243). Biomechanical testing of the subject device was found to be similar in performance to previously cleared system. #### PERFORMANCE DATA As recommended by the FDA Guidance for Spinal System 510(k)'s, non-clinical testing was performed to demonstrate the Quintex Cervical Plaing System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The following testing was performed: - Off axis screw insertion . - Redirection of screw trajectory . - . Intentional Pry Out The results of these tests showed that the subject device meets or exceed the performance of the predicate device, and the device is therefore found to be substantially equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
