Indications for Use
The Cynch System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to SI, in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion. The Cynch System Visualif is a stand-alone device intended to be used with the two bone screws provided and the accompanying anterior cover plate. Should the physician choose to use fewer than the two screws provided, additional supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine must be used. The anterior cover plate must be utilized whenever the device is implanted using the bone screws provided.
Device Story
Visualif Interbody Fusion Implant System is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device; part of the Cynch Spinal System. Implanted via open anterior approach. Device features 'U' shaped design for autograft placement; includes three radiopaque tantalum markers for placement visualization. Used as a stand-alone device with two provided bone screws and an anterior cover plate; alternatively used with other FDA-cleared supplemental fixation. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Provides structural support to facilitate spinal fusion; benefits patients by treating discogenic back pain and spondylolisthesis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing including static and dynamic compression (ASTM F2077-03), compression-shear testing (ASTM F2077-03), subsidence testing (ASTM F2267-04), expulsion testing (ASTM Draft Standard F-04.25.02.02), and wear debris characterization (ASTM F1877).
Technological Characteristics
Implant material: PEEK Optima LT1 (ASTM F2026). Markers: Tantalum (ASTM F-560-05). Screws/cover plate: Titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Design: 'U' shaped interbody fusion device. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and up to Grade I spondylolisthesis, following six months of failed non-operative treatment.
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.
