Read the full statement (222 words)

The ISOLA Spinal System is a pedicle screw system 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 thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative

spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture,

dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion

(pseudarthrosis).

The ISOLA Spinal System is also indicated for pedicle screw fixation for the

treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in

skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having

implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal of

the implants after the attainment of a solid fusion.

The ISOLA Spinal System is also a hook and sacralfiliac screw fixation system of

the noncervical spine indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic

back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic

studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture and/or dislocation), spinal stenosis,

deformities (scoliosis, lordosis and/or kyphosis), tumor, and previous failed fusion

(pseudarthrosis).

The ISOLA Spinal System when used with pedicle screws is indicated for

degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the

disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). Levels of fixation are for the

thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
