Centinel Spine® PMA application for first-of-its-kind 2-level prodisc® C Vivo and prodisc C SK Match-the-Disc™ Cervical Total Disc Replacement System submitted and followed up with substantive review

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Centinel Spine^®LLC, (“the Company”), the leading global medical device company addressing cervical and lumbar spine diseases with the world’s most clinically proven total disc replacement (TDR) technology platform (prodisk^®), today announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the submission of its Premarket Approval (PMA) application submitted for the Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study evaluating the company’s benefitsdrive C I’m alive and prodisk C SK cervical TDR system. The filing date for the company’s PMA application was September 27, 2023, and the submission is now under substantive review by the FDA.

The prospective, randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the prodrive C I’m alive and prodisk C SK system by comparing it to an approved TDR product as a control for 2-level indications, making it the first and only trial of its kind with two investigational devices and a TDR control. The study completed enrollment in June 2023 and included 431 subjects at 29 US sites and allowed surgeons to select the study device: the prodrive C I’m alive and/or prodisk C S.K—based on patient anatomy, as well as other surgical factors. The ability to individually treat each level of disease at two levels provides surgeons with both more options and opportunities to tailor the intervertebral disc to the patient’s anatomical needs.

I hope for FDA approval soon, which will make Centinel Spine the first company to offer multiple disc designs for two-level procedures and allow the surgeon to select the best cervical total disc replacement for each level treated.

This trial is in line with Centinel Spine’s strategy to be the only company providing both cervical and lumbar intraoperative prostate products.disk options for one- and two-level total drive replacement procedures. We look forward to the FDA’s careful review of the PMA submission.”
