Indications for Use
When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the Seaser System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous nonfusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. The device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft (autograft) and supplemental fixation. When used as a vertebral body replacement device (VBR), the SeaSpine Spacer System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a collapsed, diseased, damaged or unstable complete or partial vertebral body due to tumor or trauma/fracture, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The SeaSpine Spacer System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column, even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. Additionally, the device is intended for use with bone graft.
Device Story
SeaSpine Spacer System - Hollywood NM (Nanometalene) is an intervertebral body fusion and vertebral body replacement (VBR) device. Used in spinal surgery to restore disc height or replace collapsed/damaged vertebral bodies. Implanted in thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) or lumbar levels (L2-S1). Requires autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Restores biomechanical integrity of spinal column. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides structural support for fusion or stabilization.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and design characteristics.
Technological Characteristics
Intervertebral body fusion and vertebral body replacement device. Nanometalene (NM) surface technology. Designed for use with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, or for thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body replacement due to tumor or trauma/fracture.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval. (c) *Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
