## Intended Use

The Solitaire Anterior Spinal System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T10 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Solitaire Spine System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Solitaire Spine System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period.

## Device Story

Vertebral body replacement system; used in thoracolumbar spine (T10-L5). Replaces diseased or fractured vertebral bodies; restores spinal column height and biomechanical integrity. Implanted by surgeons during spinal procedures. System provides structural support to anterior, middle, and posterior spinal columns; functions even without fusion. Device design modification of existing spinal systems.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; comparative mechanical performance data demonstrated the system meets design requirements established by predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Vertebral body replacement system; mechanical spinal fixation device. Design specifications based on predicate devices. No specific materials or software algorithms described.

## 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

- Interpore Cross International Anterior Fixation Device (AFD)
- Interpore Cross International Expandable PEEK VBR System
- EBI ESL Spine Spacer System
