Indications for Use

The Alamo P is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with the degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. The device system must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and is to be implanted via a posterior approach.

Device Story

Alamo P is an intervertebral body fusion device used in spinal fusion surgery to provide structural stability following discectomy. The device features a hollow center to accommodate bone graft and is implanted via a posterior approach (PLIF). It is designed with surface ridges to improve fixation and prevent migration. The device is used by surgeons in a clinical/OR setting. It acts as a spacer to facilitate bone integration and fusion between vertebral end plates. It must be used in conjunction with supplemental fixation and autograft. The device benefits patients by stabilizing the spinal segment and promoting fusion in cases of degenerative disc disease.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was validated through mechanical testing per ASTM F2077 and F2267, including static compression, dynamic compression, subsidence, and expulsion tests. No clinical data was provided.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from PEEK Optima® LT1 (ASTM F2026) with Tantalum markers (ASTM F560) for radiographic visualization. Features a hollow center for bone graft and surface ridges for fixation. Dimensions vary in height and length. Mechanical performance validated per ASTM F2077 and F2267. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, who have failed six months of 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.

The device is manufactured from PEEK Optima® LT1 per ASTM F2026 and includes tantalum markers per ASTM F560 for radiographic visualization. The device footprint has a hollow centre to accommodate bone graft to facilitate bone integration and fusion between the end plates from a posterior (PLIF) surgical approach. The device is available in various heights to accommodate variability among patients and the inferior and superior surfaces are designed with ridges to improve fixation and stability and prevent back out and migration. #### Intended Use: The Alamo P is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with the degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. The device Page 1 of 2 {1}------------------------------------------------ system must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and is to be implanted via a posterior approach. ### Substantial Equivalence Information: The design features, material, and indications for use of the Alamo P device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above. The safety and effectiveness is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence, material information, and analysis data provided within this Premarket Notification. | Item | Alamo P | CAPSTONE® Spinal System | |-------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------| | Product Code | MAX | MAX | | Classification Name | Intervertebral Body Fusion<br>Device | Same | | Intended Use | degenerative disc disease<br>(DDD) at one or two<br>contiguous levels of the<br>lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) | Same | | Footprint | Blocks have one width and a<br>variety of heights and<br>lengths with axial and lateral<br>openings for bone graft and<br>rows of teeth. | Same | | Teeth to prevent<br>migration | Located on superior and<br>inferior surfaces.
