What this means for a regulatory watcher
Volume tells you how deep the predicate pool is. A code with steady yearly counts gives you many candidate predicates, which helps when one predicate has a recall or design gap. A code with a sharp recent rise means reviewers are seeing more of this device type, so substantial equivalence arguments need to track the newest cleared devices, not five year old ones. Related device names in recent clearances include Palisades Buttress Plate System, ARIES Anterior Cervical Plate Systems. Watch new KWQ clearances as they post: each one is a possible predicate for your submission and a possible competitor worth reading.
