Device Description:
The NuVasive Precept Spinal System is a pedicle screw system that consists of various screws, lock screws, rods, and associated general instruments. The Precept Spinal System offers a variety of components to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to introduce a sterile option for the implants and expanded the indications for use to include the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Indications for Use:
When used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the NuVasive Precept Spinal System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the posterior thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine:
1. Degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) 2. Degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment
3. Fracture
4. Dislocation
5. Scoliosis
6. Kyphosis
7. Spinal tumor and/or
8. Failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis)
The NuVasive Precept Spinal System is also indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebral joint in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft, having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum), with removal of the implants after attainment of a solid fusion. When used as an anterolateral non-pedicle screw system in the thoracic and lumbar spine, the NuVasive Precept Spinal System is also intended for the following indications:
1. Degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) 2. Spinal stenosis
3. Spondylolisthesis
4. Spinal deformities
5. Fracture
6. Pseudoarthrosis
7. Tumor resection and/or
8. Failed previous fusion
When used for posterior non-cervical screw fixation in pediatric patients, NuVasive Precept Spinal System is indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Additionally, the NuVasive Precept Spinal System is intended to treat pediatric patients diagnosed with the following conditions: spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, and fracture caused by tumor and/or trauma. Pediatric pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach and is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft.
