Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Interpore Cross International Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Rod and Plate System is a spinal fixation device designed for internal fixation of the occipito-cervico-thoracic junction. It consists of titanium rods and screws intended to stabilize and promote fusion of the cervical spine and upper thoracic segments, addressing conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability in this region.
This system is supplied as a sterile, single-use orthopedic implant and is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K022048) as a substantially equivalent orthopedic device. It is intended for use in surgical settings by trained spinal surgeons and must be handled according to sterile medical device protocols. The system’s components are designed for precise placement via open surgical techniques, with no noted MRI compatibility restrictions.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of spinal conditions is the ICI OCT Rod and Plate System specifically designed to address in the occipito-cervico-thoracic region?
The ICI OCT Rod and Plate System is designed to stabilize and promote spinal fusion for conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability affecting the occipito-cervico-thoracic junction. It targets the cervical spine and upper thoracic segments to restore alignment and structural integrity in these areas.
Is the ICI OCT Rod and Plate System intended for reuse in surgical settings, or is it meant to be used only once?
The ICI OCT Rod and Plate System is explicitly supplied as a sterile, single-use orthopedic implant. This means it must be discarded after one surgical procedure to maintain sterility and prevent contamination, adhering to standard medical device protocols for implants.
What materials are used in the construction of the ICI OCT Rod and Plate System, and why does this matter?
The system is constructed from titanium, a material chosen for its biocompatibility, strength, and corrosion resistance. Titanium is commonly used in spinal implants because it integrates well with bone tissue, reduces the risk of allergic reactions, and maintains structural integrity over time.
How is the ICI OCT Rod and Plate System packaged and prepared for surgical use, and what precautions should be taken?
The system is supplied in a sterile configuration, ready for immediate surgical use. It must be handled using sterile techniques to prevent contamination. Since it is intended for open surgical techniques, the packaging ensures sterility is maintained until the moment of implantation, requiring adherence to aseptic protocols during setup and procedure.
Are there any restrictions on using the ICI OCT Rod and Plate System in environments with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment?
The device does not have any noted MRI compatibility restrictions, meaning it can be used in patients who require MRI scans post-surgery. However, clinicians should always verify compatibility with specific MRI machines and protocols, as individual facility settings may vary.
