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 and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudarthritis; 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.
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 CD HORIZON SPIRE™ Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle supplemental fixation device intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1) as an adjunct to fusion. It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion in the following conditions: degenerative disc disease (as previously defined); spondylolisthesis, trauma; and/or tumor.
In order to achieve additional levels of fixation as an adjunct to fusion, 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.

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.
Certain implant components from other Medtronic spinal systems can be used with the CD HORIZON® Spinal System. These components include TSRH® rods, hooks, screws, plates, CROSSLINK® plates, connectors, staples and washer, GDLH® rods, hooks, connectors and CROSSLINK® bar and connectors; LIBERTY® rods and screws; DYNALOK® PLUS and DYNALOK CLASSIC® bolts along with rod/bolt connectors; and Medtronic Multi-Axial rods and screws. Please note that certain components are specifically designed to connect to 03.5mm, 04.5mm, 0 5.5mm rods or 06.35mm rods, while other components can connect to both 05.5mm rods and 06.35mm rods. Care should be taken so that the correct components are used in the spinal construct.
CD HORIZON® hooks are intended for posterior use only. CD HORIZON® staples and CD HORIZON® ECLIPSE® rods and associated screws are intended for anterior use only. However, for patients of smaller stature, CD HORIZON® 4.5mm rods and associated components may be used posteriorly.
The CD HORIZON® Spinal System implant components are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel, medical grade titanium, titanium alloy, medical grade cobaltchromium-molybdenum alloy, or medical grade PEEK OPTIMA-LT1. Certain CD HORIZON® Spinal System components may be coated with hydroxyapatite. No warranties express, or implied, are made. Implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or use are specifically excluded. See the MDT Catalog for further information about warranties and limitations of liability.
Never use stainless steel and titanium implant components in the same construct. Medical grade titanium, titanium alloy and/or medical grade cobalt-chromiummolybdenum alloy may be used together. Never use titanium, titanium alloy and/or medical grade cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy with stainless steel in the same construct.
The CD HORIZON® Spinal System also includes anterior staples made of Shape Memory Alloy (Nitinol - NiTi). Shape Memory Alloy is compatible with titanium. titanium alloy and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Do not use with stainless steel.
PEEK OPTIMA-LT1 implants may be used with stainless steel, titanium or cobaltchromium-molybdenum alloy implants. CD HORIZON® PEEK Rods are not to be used with CROSSLINK® Plates.
To achieve best results, do not use any of the CD HORIZON® Spinal System implant components with components from any other system or manufacturer unless specifically allowed to do so in this or another Medtronic document. As with all orthopaedic and neurosurgical implants, none of the CD HORIZON® Spinal System components should ever be reused under any circumstances.
The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to include modified bolts, plates, and a low profile nut to the CD HORIZON® Spinal System.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the CD HORIZON® Spinal System and does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria.

This document focuses on:

• Device Description: What the CD HORIZON® Spinal System is composed of (rods, hooks, screws, etc.) and the materials used.
• Indications for Use: The medical conditions for which the device is intended (e.g., degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma).
• Substantial Equivalence: The claim that the device is substantially equivalent to previously cleared predicate devices, citing specific 510(k) numbers.
• Regulatory Clearance: The FDA's letter granting substantial equivalence.

There is no mention of:

1. A table of acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics.
2. Sample sizes for test or training sets, nor data provenance.
3. Number or qualifications of experts used for ground truth.
4. Adjudication methods.
5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies.
6. Standalone algorithm performance.
7. Type of ground truth used (pathology, outcomes data, expert consensus, etc.).
8. How ground truth for a training set was established.

This type of submission (510(k) for a spinal implant system) typically relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, often through mechanical testing, material characterization, and comparison of design features and indications for use, rather than a clinical study with detailed performance metrics against specific acceptance criteria for AI/diagnostic algorithms.
