Intended Use

The V2F™ Anterior Fixation System is indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach in the treatment of thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation and subluxation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal stenosis or a failed previous spine surgery.

Device Story

V2F Anterior Fixation System is a temporary supplemental spinal fixation implant. Components include thoracolumbar plates, cap screws, and bone screws. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to correct and stabilize the spine, augmenting solid spinal fusion and supplementing interbody devices. Implanted via lateral or anterolateral surgical approach. Provides low-profile, anatomically designed fixation to address spinal instability caused by fracture, tumor, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal stenosis, or failed prior surgery. Benefits include temporary stabilization and support for fusion development.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. ASTM F1717 static compression bending, static torsion, and dynamic compression bending tests were performed to establish substantial equivalence. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

System components (plates, cap screws, bone screws) manufactured from titanium alloy per ASTM F136. Low-profile, anatomically designed plates for lateral/anterolateral approach. Mechanical performance validated via ASTM F1717. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine stabilization via lateral or anterolateral approach due to fracture, tumor, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal stenosis, or failed previous surgery.

Regulatory Classification

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.

V2FTM Anterior Fixation System

Spinal Fixation System

Orthosis, Spinal Intervertebral Fixation 21 CFR § 888.3060, KWQ, Class II

· InCompass Spinal Fixation System (K021564)

· Synthes Thoracolumbar Spine Locking Plate (TSLP) System (K020244)

#### Device Description:

The V2F™ Anterior Fixation System is a temporary supplemental fixation device consisting of: thoracolumbar plates, cap screws, bone screws and instrumentation necessary for implantation of the system.

The V2FTM Anterior Fixation System is used as an implant for the correction and stabilization of the spine. This system provides temporary stabilization and augments the development of a solid spinal fusion. Additionally, this system provides the surgeon with the ability to supplement an interbody device with anterior plate fixation. The plates are low profile and anatomically designed to provide optimal fit from either anterior or anteriorlateral approach. All implant components are manufactured from titanium alloy as specified in ASTM F136.

### Indications for Use:

The V2F™ Anterior Fixation System is indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach in the treatment of thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine instability as a result of fracture (including dislocation and subluxation), tumor, degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal stenosis or a failed previous spine surgery.

#### Performance Data:

ASTM F1717 static compression bending, static torsion and dynamic compression bending were performed to establish substantial equivalence. The test results demonstrate that the V2FM Anterior Fixation System functioned as intended and performed in a manner substantially equivalent to that of the predicate(s).

### Basis of Substantial Equivalence:

The V2F™ Anterior Fixation System is similar to the predicate devices with respect to technical characteristics, design, materials, performance and intended use. The information provided within this premarket notification supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device(s).

Dear Mr. Yarbrough:

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. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
