## Indications for use
The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The device systems are designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. One device may be used per intervertebral space. The implants are intended to be used with legally cleared supplemental spinal fixation cleared for the implanted level. The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C3 to T1, for treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The RELIANCE CERVICAL IBF System is to be used in patients who have six weeks of non-operative treatment.
