Intended Use

The Pioneer Poise Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior cervical fixation for the following indications: 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), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

Device Story

System consists of titanium alloy plates and screws for anterior cervical spine fixation; includes static and dynamic plate designs (1-4 levels) to facilitate postoperative load sharing; features integrated Nitinol screw-retention mechanism. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure vertebral bodies; screws (4.0/4.5mm diameter, 10-20mm length) available in self-tapping or self-drilling configurations. Provides mechanical stabilization of cervical spine segments to promote fusion; benefits patients by addressing instability caused by degenerative disease, trauma, or deformity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical performance characterized via static and fatigue compression bending and static torsion per ASTM F1717, and axial pullout strength per ASTM F543. Additional internal protocol testing assessed screw pull-through and retention characteristics.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) and Nitinol (ASTM F2063). Components: Plates (10-84mm) and screws (4.0/4.5mm diameter, 10-20mm length). Design: Static and dynamic (uni-directional axial movement) plates with integrated screw-retention mechanism. Energy source: None (manual surgical instrumentation).

Indications for Use

Indicated for anterior cervical fixation in patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture/dislocation), spinal stenosis, spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, or failed previous fusion.

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.

| Description: | The Pioneer Poise Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of an assortment<br>of plates and screws. The screws are used to secure the plates to the<br>vertebral bodies of the cervical spine through an anterior approach. The<br>Poise system consists of static and dynamic plates in lengths that range<br>from 10-84mm and include one, two, three and four level designs. The<br>dynamic design provides for uni-directional axial movement for<br>postoperative load sharing between the plate and graft. The plates have an<br>integrated screw retention mechanism. Screws range from 10-20mm in<br>length, 4.0 or 4.5mm in diameter, and are available in self tapping or self<br>drilling. The plates and screws are manufactured from Titanium alloy<br>(ASTM F136) and Nitinol (ASTM F2063). |
| | The system also contains Class 1 manual surgical instruments and cases<br>that are considered exempt from premarket notification. |
| Intended Use: | The Pioneer Poise Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior<br>cervical fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease<br>(DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the<br>disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis,<br>trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures<br>(i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed<br>previous fusion. |

The subject device has indications for use identical to those of the predicate Comparison to Predicate Devices: PAC system and employs the same principles of operation. Identical materials are used for both subject and predicate plates and screws. A vailable screw lengths (10-20mm), screw diameters (4.0/4.5mm), overall plate length (10-84mm), and plate types (one, two, three and four level; static and dynamic) are identical for both systems.

The Pioneer Poise Anterior Cervical Plate System plates and screws are Material: manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, according to ASTM The plates incorporate a screw-retention mechanism ("spring"), F136). which is manufactured from Nitinol (ASTM F2063).

Non-Clinical Mechanical testing was presented to characterize construct and component performance, including testing static and fatigue compression bending and Performance Data: static torsion per recognized ASTM F1717, axial pullout screw strength per ASTM F543, and additional testing performed per internal protocols to assess screw pull through plate and screw retention characteristics. The test results of verification testing demonstrate that the mechanical performance of the Pioneer Poise Anterior Cervical Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Comparisons of device performance data, materials, indications and Performance and design/function to predicate devices were provided in making a SE Determination: determination of substantial equivalence.
