Medtronic Announces 510(K) Clearance for the TSRH® Spinal System Pedicle Screw for the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

AIS is the Most Common Type of Scoliosis Seen in Adolescents and Affects Nearly One Million Adolescents in the U.S. Alone

MDT, Medtronic, Inc.

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) announced it received a second clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with pedicle screws. The TSRH® Spinal System is the second posterior fixation system by Medtronic to receive 510(k) clearance for this indication and Medtronic remains the only company with this clearance under the Agency’s product category for pediatric AIS patients treated with posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common pediatric spine condition, and its cause is unknown. Many patients with AIS have rotated and/or curved spines, which may resemble an "S" or "C" shape instead of a straight line seen with normal spines. Some of the bones in the spines of AIS patients can rotate, causing the shoulders or waist to appear uneven. If the curvature of the spine progresses as the patient grows, it could compress nerve roots and the spinal cord.

“This additional AIS clearance will further afford Medtronic the ability to provide training and education to spine surgeons treating patients diagnosed with AIS,” said Doug King, vice-president and president of Medtronic Spinal. “This clearance also provides an opportunity to further research and study these patients allowing us to move forward with our commitment and investment in pediatric innovation.”

Medtronic, Inc. (www.medtronic.com), headquartered in Minneapolis, is the global leader in medical technology-alleviating pain, restoring health, and extending life for millions of people around the world.

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) will build and deliver the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) for the Joint Polar Satellite Systems (JPSS) under a contract with NASA.

JPSS is a system of polar-orbiting satellites to be developed by NASA for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for weather forecasting, storm tracking and climate monitoring.

The ATMS instrument is the second flight model and is slated to fly on the first JPSS satellite in 2016. The first ATMS was completed in 2005 and has been integrated on the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) satellite, which is scheduled to launch in October.

ATMS will provide critical microwave data, including atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, to support weather forecasting for the operational JPSS system. The instrument has 22 channels spanning the frequency band from 23.8 GHz to 183.3 GHz. It was designed to be the functional equivalent follow-on to the Advanced Microwave Sounder Units with improved sampling and coverage.

"Our experience in creating the ATMS engineering development unit and delivering the NPOESS Preparatory Project flight unit showed our capability to support the customer," said Steve Opel, ATMS program manager at Northrop Grumman. "This transition of the second flight unit to the Joint Polar Satellite Systems not only capitalizes fully on that previous experience, but also demonstrates our commitment to developing a long-term partnership with both NASA and NOAA on this program."

Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide.
