Indications for Use
The Onticage Interbody Fusion Device is a posterior lumbar intervertebral body fusion device and is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Opticage Interbody Fusion Device can be implanted via posterior or transforaminal approach. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Candidates for surgery should be skeletally mature and have had six months of conservative treatment. These patients may have had primary or secondary surgery, but no previous fusion at the involved levels. The device is not intended to be used as a stand-alone device. It must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbar spine (i.e. facet screw fixation systems, facet compression devices and posterior pedicle screw and rod systems).
Device Story
Lumbar intervertebral body fusion device; titanium alloy construction. Consists of upper/lower plates and two wedges; height adjustable via rotational thread (screw) mechanism. Implanted via posterior or transforaminal approach by surgeons. Used as spacer to maintain disc height and provide structural support; requires autogenous bone graft for fusion. Must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation (e.g., pedicle screws, facet fixation). Benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments and promoting bony ingrowth through fenestrated design.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression, compression shear, torsional loading) and ASTM F2267 (subsidence). Evaluation included expulsion testing and wear debris/particulate analysis. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Implant-grade titanium alloy; rectangular box geometry with toothed surfaces and fenestrations for bony ingrowth. Expandable via rotational thread (screw) mechanism. Dimensions: 21-29mm length, 9-14mm height. Non-sterile, single-use. Requires supplemental internal spinal fixation. Testing per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1, including those with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires six months of prior conservative treatment. Contraindicated for patients with previous fusion at the involved levels.
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.
