Federal health advisers on Wednesday rejected an implant from Zimmer Holdings saying it's unclear how effective or safe the device would be for treating a painful spinal condition.
The Food and Drug Administration's panel of outside experts voted 5-1 that Zimmer's titanium Dynesys implant should not be approved to restabilize the spine.
The FDA is not required to follow the group's recommendation, though it often does.
