Indications for Use
VENUS Lumbar Intervertebral body Fusion Cage System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). This device is to be used with autogenous bone graft. VENUS Lumbar Intervertebral body Fusion Cage System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
VENUS Lumbar Intervertebral body Fusion Cage System is an orthopedic implant designed for lumbar intervertebral body fusion. Implants are available in various heights and lordotic configurations; feature open architecture to accommodate autogenous bone graft. Constructed from PEEK-OPTIMA LTI with titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) marker pins. Device is implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures; requires supplemental fixation. Provides structural support in intervertebral space to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Benefits include stabilization of vertebral segments and promotion of bone fusion.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical testing and design comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics

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.
