## Intended Use

The Orthopeasia Spinal Fixation System is intended to provide immobilization of the posterior non-cervical spine (T1-S2/Illium) in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities: - Degenerative disc disease (defied as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies): - Degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; - Trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); - Deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); - Tumor; - Stenosis; - Failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis) The Orthopeasia Spinal Fixation System is also indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebral joint in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum), with removal of the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion.

## Device Story

Temporary, single-use spinal fixation system; components include pedicle screws (mono-axial/poly-axial), rods, crosslinks, and connectors. Surgeon builds rigid construct to stabilize thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. Attached via screw fixation to vertebral body. Used in clinical/OR settings by orthopedic surgeons. Provides internal fixation to facilitate spinal fusion; benefits patient by immobilizing unstable segments, correcting deformities, and supporting bone healing. Implants removed after solid fusion achieved.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluated via static/dynamic compression bending (ASTM F1717) and static axial/torsion grip testing (ASTM F1798). Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1. Results demonstrated mechanical properties comparable to or exceeding predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) for screws/crosslinks/connectors; Cobalt chrome alloy (ASTM F1537) for 5.0mm rods. Components: Mono-axial/poly-axial pedicle screws (5.5-8.5mm diameter; 20-100mm length). Principle: Rigid mechanical fixation construct. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Non-sterile.

## Regulatory Identification

(1) Rigid pedicle screw systems are comprised of multiple components, made from a variety of materials that allow the surgeon to build an implant system to fit the patient's anatomical and physiological requirements. Such a spinal implant assembly consists of a combination of screws, longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods including dual diameter rods, plate/rod combinations), transverse or cross connectors, and interconnection mechanisms (e.g., rod-to-rod connectors, offset connectors).(2) Semi-rigid systems are defined as systems that contain one or more of the following features (including but not limited to): Non-uniform longitudinal elements, or features that allow more motion or flexibility compared to rigid systems.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls), when intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). These pedicle screw spinal systems must comply with the following special controls:(i) Compliance with material standards;
(ii) Compliance with mechanical testing standards;
(iii) Compliance with biocompatibility standards; and
(iv) Labeling that contains these two statements in addition to other appropriate labeling information:
 “Warning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown.”
“Precaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient.”
(2) Class II (special controls), when a rigid pedicle screw system is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis other than either severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) at L5-S1 or degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment. These pedicle screw systems must comply with the following special controls:
(i) The design characteristics of the device, including engineering schematics, must ensure that the geometry and material composition are consistent with the intended use.
(ii) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate the mechanical function and durability of the implant.
(iii) Device components must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Validation testing must demonstrate the cleanliness and sterility of, or the ability to clean and sterilize, the device components and device-specific instruments.
