Intended Use
PYRENEES and BLUE RIDGE Cervical Plate Systems are indicated for use in anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) 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 (including fractures), spinal stenosis and tumors (primary and metastatic), failed previous fusions (pseudarthrosis) and deformity (defined as scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis). OZARK Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-T1) 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 (including fractures), spinal stenosis and tumors (primary and metastatic), failed previous fusions (pseudarthrosis) and deformity (defined as scoliosis, kyphosis or lordosis). The CAYMAN Buttress Plates are intended for use in spinal fusion procedures as a means to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue such as allografts or autografts. The device is not intended for load bearing indications. The CAYMAN Thoracolumbar Plates are indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach in the treatment of thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine and for use as an anteriorly placed supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral level below the bifurcation of the vascular structures (L5-S1). The Cayman Thoracolumbar Plate System is intended to provide temporary stabilization during fusion using autograph or allograft in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities and deformities: a) degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), b) pseudoarthrosis, c) spondylolysis, d) spondylolisthesis, e) fracture, f) neoplastic disease, g) unsuccessful previous fusion surgery, h) lordotic deformities of the spine, i) thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis, j) deformity (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) associated with deficient posterior elements such as that resulting from laminectomy.
Device Description
The previously cleared K2M PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE, OZARK and CAYMAN plate systems consist of a variety of plates and screws designed to provide support across implanted levels of the cervical, thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine until fusion is achieved. The primary purpose of this submission is to establish an MR Conditional labeling claim for these implants. In addition, PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and CAYMAN components that were previously provided non-sterile are now being optionally offered as sterile packaged devices.
More Information

K2M PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE, OZARK and CAYMAN plate systems

No
The summary describes spinal plate and screw systems and focuses on establishing MR Conditional labeling and offering sterile packaging. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes.
The device is indicated for use in the treatment of various medical conditions, including degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, and tumors, which signifies its role in treating diseases or injuries, classifying it as therapeutic.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is to "provide support across implanted levels of the cervical, thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spine until fusion is achieved," indicating it is an implant for treatment rather than a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "a variety of plates and screws," which are hardware components. The submission's primary purpose is to establish an MR Conditional labeling claim for these implants and offer sterile packaging, further indicating a physical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the devices as implants for anterior screw fixation and stabilization of the spine for various conditions like degenerative disc disease, trauma, tumors, etc. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details plates and screws designed to provide support to the spine. This aligns with a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on MR compatibility and bacterial endotoxin testing, which are relevant for surgical implants, not IVDs.

The device is a surgical implant used to stabilize the spine.

§ 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.

thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine and for use as an anteriorly placed
supplemental fixation device for the lumbosacral level below the bifurcation
of the vascular structures (L5-S1). The Cayman Thoracolumbar Plate
System is intended to provide temporary stabilization during fusion using
autograph or allograft in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the
following acute and chronic instabilities and deformities: a) degenerative
disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of
the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), b)
pseudoarthrosis, c) spondylolysis, d) spondylolisthesis, e) fracture, f)
neoplastic disease, g) unsuccessful previous fusion surgery, h) lordotic
deformities of the spine, i) thoracolumbar or lumbar scoliosis, j) deformity
(i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis) associated with deficient posterior

Materials:The PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical Plate Systems and
the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate Systems are manufactured
from titanium alloy (ASTM F136 and ASTM F1472), titanium (ASTM F67),
cobalt chrome (ASTM F1537) and nitinol (ASTM F2063). The materials
used in the manufacturing of the instruments are stainless steel with some
of the instruments incorporating aluminum, linen phenolic, Ultem, Radel,
polypropylene, acetal copolymer, or silicone in the handles or retractor
blades.
Primary Predicate:OZARK Cervical Plate System (K2M Inc. – K172104)
Additional Predicates:PYRENEES and BLUE RIDGE Cervical Plate Systems (K2M Inc. –
K162664 and K113329, respectively), CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and
Buttress Plate Systems (K2M Inc. – K131533)
Performance Data:MR Compatibility testing per ASTM F2503 was performed. The test results
demonstrate that the PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical Plate
Systems and the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate Systems
performance met the prescribed acceptance criteria.
In addition, bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) was conducted in accordance
with AAMI ST72:2011. The test results demonstrate that the sterile devices
met the specified testing limit.
Technological
Characteristics:The PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical Plate Systems and
the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate Systems possess the
same technological characteristics as their predicate devices; no changes
have been made to any of the devices. Therefore the fundamental scientific
technology of the PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical Plate
Systems and the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate Systems is
the same as previously cleared devices.
Conclusion:The PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical Plate Systems and
the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate Systems possess the
same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate
devices. Therefore the PYRENEES, BLUE RIDGE and OZARK Cervical
Plate Systems and the CAYMAN Thoracolumbar and Buttress Plate
Systems are substantially equivalent.
