IV. Description:

The CD HORIZON® Spinal System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods, hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® Plates, staples, and connecting components, as well as implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems which can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.

A subset of CD HORIZON® Spinal System components may be used for posterior pedicle screw fixation in pediatric cases. These constructs may be comprised of a variety of shapes and sizes of rods (ranging in diameter from 3.5mm to 6.35mm), hooks, screws, CROSSLINK® Plates and connecting components. Similarly to the CD HORIZON® implants used in adult cases, these components can be rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case.

The purpose of this submission is to modify Medtronic's CD HORIZON® Spinal System to add additional components to the system, specifically non-sterile 30° and 45° Transverse Hooks. The subject transverse hooks have the same intended use, indications, material, sizes, levels of attachment, fundamental scientific technology, and sterilization method as the following FDA cleared CD HORIZON® Spinal System predicates: primary predicate 1 (K132471, S.E. 10/08/2013), predicate 2 (K150178, S.E. 02/11/2015), and predicate 3 (K153589, S.E. 02/10/2016).

V. Indications for Use:

The CD HORIZON® Spinal System with or without SEXTANT® instrumentation is intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis), tumor, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. Except for hooks, when used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System may also be used for the same indications as an adjunct to fusion.

6

With the exception of degenerative disc disease, the CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ 3.5mm rods and the CD HORIZON® Spinal System PEEK rods and associated components may be used for the aforementioned indications in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion. The 3.5mm rods may be used for the specific pediatric indications noted below.

When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System implants are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat progressive spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis) including idiopathic scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis, and congenital scoliosis. Additionally, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is intended to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with the following conditions: spondylolisthesis/spondylolysis, fracture caused by tumor and/or trauma, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. These devices are to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

The CD HORIZON® SPIRE™ Plate is a posterior, single-level, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fixation in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (as previously defined), spondylolisthesis, trauma, and/or tumor.

In order to achieve additional levels of fixation, the CD HORIZON® Spinal System rods may be connected to the VERTEX® Reconstruction System with the VERTEX® rod connector. Refer to the VERTEX® Reconstruction System Package Insert for a list of the VERTEX® indications of use.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices:

The subject CD HORIZON® Spinal System have the same intended use, indications, fundamental scientific technology, material, and sterilization method as the previously FDA cleared predicates. Both the subject and predicate hooks are based on the same

7

technological characteristics of providing posterior, non-cervical fixation as an adjunct fusion for degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumor, pseudarthrosis, and/or failed previous fusion. Both the subject and predicate hooks connect to 5.5mm/6.0mm rods that have been placed in T1-S1 region of the spine and are secured to the rods using set screws, which complete the construct. The only difference in technological characteristics is that the subject hooks have a transition offset that falls outside of the cleared range of the predicates but does not raise any issues of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the technological characteristics of the subject hooks are identical to the predicate hooks.

VII. Performance Data:

The following information is provided in support of substantial equivalence.

Biocompatibility

The subject transverse hooks are manufactured from same titanium allov (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) material as the predicates. Titanium alloy has a long history of safe and effective use in similar spinal implants. Therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing is not required.

Mechanical Testing

In accordance with, "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Spinal System 510(k)'s", Medtronic has evaluated the subject transverse hooks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Medtronic completed both an engineering rationale and a risk analysis in accordance with Medtronic design control procedures. Both evaluations demonstrated that the subject hooks do not introduce a new worst case to the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. Therefore, no new mechanical testing was required for this submission.

VIII. Conclusion:

Based on the engineering rationale, risk analysis, and other supporting documentation provided in this pre-market notification, the subject 30° and 45° Transverse Hooks are proven to be substantially equivalent to the following predicates:

  • K132471 (S.E. 10/08/2013) Predicate 1 (Primary Predicate) .
