Indications for Use
The TM Ardis® Interbody System is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft as an intervertebral body fusion device at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbosacral region (L2-S1) in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies: Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device. Patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. The TM Ardis® Interbody System device is implanted using a posterior or transforaminal approach and is intended to be used singly or in pairs with supplemental fixation.
Device Story
TM Ardis Interbody System is a convex, straight TLIF/PLIF implant for spinal fusion; fabricated from Trabecular Metal Porous Tantalum; textured surfaces provide stability and conform to vertebral endplates; posterior slots mate with insertion instruments. Implanted via posterior or transforaminal approach by surgeons; used singly or in pairs with supplemental fixation to replace a disc at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). Device facilitates fusion of adjacent bony surfaces using autogenous bone graft; benefits patients by stabilizing the spinal column in cases of degenerative disc disease.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated per ASTM F2077-03 and ASTM F2267-04, including static/dynamic axial compression, compression shear, subsidence, torsion, and expulsion testing. Results demonstrate the system meets predetermined mechanical performance requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Trabecular Metal Porous Tantalum. Form factor: Convex, straight TLIF/PLIF interbody spacer with textured surfaces. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. Standards: ASTM F2077-03, ASTM F2267-04.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, or previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level, 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.
