Indications for Use
The X-spine Calix Lumbar Spinal Implant System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2 - S1 inclusive) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the lumbosacral spine. DDD patients may also have up to a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s). These implants are to be packed with autogenous bone graft and implanted via an anterior, posterior, and/or transforaminal approach. Patients should receive at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with a lumbosacral intervertebral fusion device. This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems).
Device Story
Calix Lumbar Spinal Implant System is a box/oval-shaped intervertebral body fusion device; manufactured from PEEK-Optima LT1; features superior/inferior surface teeth for fixation and internal cavity for autogenous bone graft packing; includes tantalum radiographic markers. Implanted by surgeons via anterior, posterior, or transforaminal approaches to facilitate spinal fusion in lumbosacral DDD patients. Used in conjunction with cleared supplemental spinal fixation systems (pedicle screw/rod or anterior plate systems). Provides structural support to the intervertebral space to promote fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing the spinal segment and reducing discogenic back pain.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance established via standardized mechanical testing: static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic axial compression-shear (ASTM F2077), load-induced subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Invibio PEEK-Optima LT1 (ASTM F2026). Radiographic markers: Tantalum (ASTM F560). Geometry: Box/oval shape with surface teeth and hollow center. Dimensions: Variable heights/widths. Energy source: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) requiring spinal fusion at one or two contiguous levels. Includes patients with Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis and those with prior non-fusion spinal surgery. Requires at least 6 months of failed non-operative treatment. Contraindicated in skeletally immature patients.
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.
