This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). The interior of the spacer can be packed with allograft or autograft. ## Device Story Quantum Vertebral Body Replacement is a box-shaped spinal implant; features exterior teeth to prevent migration; available in multiple sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. Constructed from titanium or PEEK. Implanted during partial or total vertebrectomy procedures in thoracic/thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). Requires use with supplemental spinal fixation systems (e.g., posterior pedicle screw/rod, anterior plate/screw systems). Interior space allows packing with allograft or autograft. Used by surgeons to restore spinal stability following tumor resection or traumatic fracture. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Mechanical testing indicates the device is capable of performing in accordance with its intended use. ## Technological Characteristics Box-shaped vertebral body replacement; materials: titanium or PEEK; exterior surface features teeth for fixation; available in multiple sizes; intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems; interior cavity for bone graft packing. ## 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 - Quantum Vertebral Body Replacement ([K062004](/device/K062004.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
