Indications for Use
The IN:C2 Spinal Fixation System is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. Cervical disc disease is defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation on posterior vertebral endplates producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression confirmed by radiographic studies. IN:C2 is a stand-alone device intended to be used with an anterior cover plate and a minimum two provided bone screws angled both cephalad and caudal with a minimum of one screw into each vertebral body. The implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an open, anterior approach. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
IN:C2 Spinal Fixation System is a stand-alone intervertebral body fusion device used to stabilize the cervical spine during fusion. The device consists of a U-shaped PEEK cage with titanium markers and an anterior cover plate assembly with two titanium bone screws. It is implanted via an open, anterior approach by a surgeon. The device acts as a spacer to maintain disc height while autogenous bone graft promotes fusion; the cover plate and screws provide supplemental fixation to the vertebral bodies. The system is designed for patients with cervical disc disease who have failed conservative treatment. The current iteration modifies the PEEK-to-plate interface by replacing a snap feature with a titanium insert to improve mechanical stability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included ASTM F2077-11 (intervertebral body fusion device testing), ASTM F2267-04 (load-induced subsidence), ASTM F1877-05 (particle characterization), and pull-off force testing for the interface between the PEEK component and the titanium anterior plate.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK and titanium. Form factor: U-shaped cage with anterior cover plate and two bone screws. Fixation: Stand-alone, screws angled cephalad and caudal. Standards: ASTM F2077-11, ASTM F2267-04, ASTM F1877-05. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (intractable radiculopathy/myelopathy, herniated disc, or osteophyte formation) at one level from C2-C3 to C7-T1. Requires at least six weeks of prior non-operative treatment.
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.
