## Indications for use
The Spinal Simplicity Posterior Fusion Plate/HA Posterior Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving fusion in the following conditions: • Lumbar spinal stenosis; • degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or • spondylolisthesis. The Posterior Fusion Plate/HA Posterior Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach (L1-S1) or a minimally invasive posterior approach (T1-S1). The Spinal Simplicity Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving fusion in the following conditions: • Lumbar spinal stenosis; • degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or • spondylolisthesis. The Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach (L1-S1) or a minimally invasive posterior approach (T1-S1). The Spinal Simplicity HA Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving fusion in the following conditions: • Lumbar spinal stenosis; • degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or • spondylolisthesis. The HA Minuteman G3 MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach (L1-S1) or a minimally invasive posterior approach (T1-S1). The Spinal Simplicity HA Minuteman G3-R MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving fusion in the following conditions: • Lumbar spinal stenosis; • degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or • spondylolisthesis. The HA Minuteman G3-R MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach (L1-S1). The Spinal Simplicity Minuteman G5 MIS Fusion Plate is a posterior, non-pedicle fusion device, intended for use at a single level in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to spinous processes for the purpose of achieving fusion in the following conditions: • Lumbar spinal stenosis; • degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); and/or • spondylolisthesis. The Minuteman G5 MIS Fusion Plate is intended for use with bone graft material. The device may be implanted via a minimally invasive lateral approach (L1-S1) or a minimally invasive posterior approach (T1-S1).
