Intended Use

The T2TM Spinal System is a vertebral body replacement system intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The T2™ components consist of a series of end caps, baskets, and covers which must be attached to a T2 XVBR™ expanding centerpiece to form a complete construct. The final construct is to be used with supplemental fixation. The T2 SCEPTOR™ components also serve as a vertebral body replacement device for the same intended use in the thoracolumbar spine. The T2 SCEPTOR™ end caps and endcleats must be attached to a PYRAMESH-C® device to form a complete construct. Both constructs (T2 XVBR™ and T2 SCEPTOR™) must be used with supplemental fixation to form a final construct. Specifically, the construct is to be used with the Medtronic ZPLATE IITM Anterior Fixation System, the DYNALOK CLASSIC® Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, the TSRH® Spinal System, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System, or their successors. Additionally, the T2™ Spinal System construct is intended to be used with bone graft.

Device Description

The T2TM Spinal System is a distractible system used in corpectomy procedures. This construct is inserted between two vertebral bodies in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine and is expanded to aid in the surgical correction and stabilization of the spine. The construct is not intended to be used as a stand alone device. The construct is intended to be used with either anterior and/or posterior supplemental spinal fixation systems already cleared for thoracic and lumbar spine stabilization.

The T2 TM Spinal System contains an expandable centerpiece, which is made of titanium alloy, cobalt chrome, and nitinol and is available in multiple diameters and heights to accommodate the patient's anatomical requirements. The T2™ Spinal System's end caps, baskets, and covers are attached to the T2TM Spinal System's expandable centerpieces to accommodate the individual anatomical requirements of the vertebral space created by the corpectomy.

T2TM Spinal System constructs may not be used with stainless steel supplemental fixation devices. Titanium constructs comprised from one of the following Medtronic spinal systems or their successors must be used with the T2TM Spinal System.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for the MEDTRONIC Sofamor Danek T2TM Spinal System. This document does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device.

The T2TM Spinal System is a physical medical device (a vertebral body replacement system). The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices based on material, design, and indications for use, rather than performance metrics from a study as would be relevant for an AI/ML device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information from the given text as it is not relevant to an AI/ML device study.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.
