Indications for Use
When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the DiFUSION Technologies XIPHOS Interbody Fusion System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, 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. When used as a vertebral body replacement device, the DiFUSION Technologies XIPHOS System is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised (i.e. partial or total vertebrectomy) due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The XIPHOS System is intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (from T1 to L5) and is intended for use with supplemental fixation. These devices are designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The DiFUSION Technologies XIPHOS System is intended to be used with autograft or allograft bone.
Device Story
XIPHOS ALIF is a lumbar PEEK interbody fusion device; oval structural column with central strut; superior/inferior surfaces feature parallel serrations. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to restore spinal biomechanical integrity. Used with supplemental fixation and bone graft (autograft/allograft) to facilitate fusion or replace resected vertebral bodies. Available in various heights, depths, widths, and angulations to accommodate patient anatomy. Tantalum marker pins included for radiographic visualization. Device provides structural support to anterior, middle, and posterior spinal columns.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression and torsion) and ASTM F2267 (subsidence). Results demonstrate performance equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026) and tantalum (ASTM F560) marker pins. Design: Hollow structural column with central strut and parallel serrations. Dimensions: Variable heights, depths, widths, and angulations. Energy source: None (mechanical implant). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring lumbar intervertebral body fusion (L2-S1) for degenerative disc disease with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis after 6 months of failed non-operative treatment, or for thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body replacement following resection/excision due to tumor or trauma/fracture.
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.
