Indications for Use
The Plasmapore® XP Spinal Implant System are indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at involved levels. These patients may have had previous non-fusion surgery at the involved spinal level(s). The Plasmapore® XP Spinal Implant System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbrosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). The Plasmapore® XP Spinal Implants can be used individually or in pairs. The Plasmapore® XP Spinal Implant System is also intended for use with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regiment of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion device implanted into vertebral body space to improve spinal stability and support fusion; used with supplemental fixation and autogenous bone graft. Device consists of PEEK-Optima body with vacuum plasma spray titanium coating (Plasmapore®) and titanium alloy radiographic markers. Available in various shapes/sizes to match patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Provides structural support to facilitate fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments affected by degenerative disc disease.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performed static torsion, static/dynamic axial compression, shear resistance, subsidence, and wear debris analysis per ASTM F2077, F2267, and F1877. Additionally performed coating characterization per ASTM F1854, F1147, F1044, F1160, and F1978. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-Optima (ASTM F2026) with vacuum plasma spray titanium coating (ISO 5832-3) and TiAl6V4 radiographic markers. Mechanical principle: Intervertebral body fusion support. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) requiring spinal fusion at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). DDD defined as discogenic back pain with radiographic confirmation; may include Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Patients may have prior non-fusion surgery. Requires at least 6 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.
