• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The UNIFY® Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System and the ASSURE® Anterior Cervical Plate System are intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.

Device Story

System consists of titanium alloy plates and variable or fixed angle screws for anterior cervical spine (C2-C7) fixation. UNIFY® plates allow translation to accommodate bone graft resorption. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize the cervical spine. Output is mechanical stabilization of the vertebral bodies. Benefits include structural support for fusion and deformity correction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, including engineering analysis, static cantilever bending, and screw push-out testing conducted per FDA Guidance for Spinal System 510(k)s (May 3, 2004).

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy implants (ASTM F136, F1295, F1472). System includes plates and variable/fixed angle screws. Mechanical fixation principle. No software or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for degenerative disc disease, trauma (fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis.

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.

# Purpose:

The purpose of this submission is to request clearance for additional UNIFY® screws to be used with ASSURE® and UNIFY® plates and use of ASSURE® rigid screws with the UNIFY® plate.

# Device Description:

The UNIFY® Dynamic and ASSURE® Anterior Cervical Plate Systems consist of plates and variable or fixed angle screws. The plates attach to the anterior portion of the vertebral body of the cervical spine (C2-C7). The UNIFY® plates allow translation to accommodate bone graft resorption.

The UNIFY® additional implants are manufactured from titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM standards F136, F1295 and F1472.

## Indications for Use:

The UNIFY® Dynamic Anterior Cervical Plate System and the ASSURE® Anterior Cervical Plate System are intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors,

deformity (kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudarthrosis, failed previous fusions, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.

# Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the UNIFY® additional implants are similar to the predicate devices in terms of design, dimensions, intended use, materials, and performance characteristics.

# Performance Data:

Mechanical testing (engineering analysis and static cantilever bending and screw push-out) was conducted in accordance with the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Guidance for Spinal System 510(k)s, May 3, 2004. Performance data demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

# Basis of Substantial Equivalence:

UNIFY® additional implants are similar to the predicate devices with respect to technical characteristics, material, performance, and intended use. The information provided within this premarket notification supports substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. UNIFY® additional implants perform as well as or better than the predicate devices.
