Intended Use
The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2 to T1. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System is to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and is implanted via an anterior approach. The Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System must be used with two of the provided bone screws. This cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment.
Device Story
Unison-C Anterior Cervical Fixation System provides structural stability for cervical interbody fusion; used in skeletally mature patients following discectomy. Device consists of PEEK-OPTIMA intervertebral body spacer with integrated locking mechanism, tantalum radiographic pins, and titanium alloy screws. Implanted via anterior approach; requires two bone screws for fixation; does not require supplemental fixation. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat discogenic neck pain. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment to facilitate fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed per ASTM F2077-11 (static/dynamic axial compression, compressive shear, torsion) and ASTM F2267-04 (static subsidence). Additional testing included locking mechanism disassociation and screw push-out. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Intervertebral body fusion device. Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 polymer (spacer), ASTM F560 tantalum (radiographic markers), ASTM F136 titanium alloy (screws/locking mechanism). Stand-alone fixation via integrated locking mechanism. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267-04.
Indications for Use
Indicated for stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2 to T1. Requires six weeks of prior non-operative treatment. Used with autograft/allogenic bone graft via anterior approach.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
*Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
