Indications for Use
The InFill® cervical interbody fusion device is intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The InFill® cervical interbody fusion device is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. InFill® is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C2 to T1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level may be treated with this device. The InFill® cervical interbody fusion device is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine.
Device Story
InFill® Cervical Interbody Fusion device is a radiolucent spinal implant used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine. The device is implanted during surgery to replace a degenerated disc; it acts as a structural spacer to maintain disc height and support bone graft material. The implant features a box-shaped design with a bullet nose, surface teeth for fixation, and central fenestration for bone graft containment. It is manufactured from PEEK Optima LT1 with tantalum markers (ASTM F560) for radiographic visibility. The device is provided sterile for single use. By stabilizing the intervertebral space and promoting fusion, the device aims to alleviate neck pain associated with degenerative disc disease. It requires the use of supplemental internal fixation systems to ensure stability during the fusion process.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data included static and dynamic axial compression, static and dynamic torsion, subsidence, and expulsion testing. All test results met established acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK Optima LT1 and tantalum (ASTM F560). Design: Box-shaped with bullet nose, surface teeth, and central fenestration. Energy source: None (passive implant). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Surgical approach: Anterior.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level of the cervical spine (C2-T1). DDD defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with radiographic confirmation. Requires at least six weeks of failed non-operative treatment. Suitable for patients with prior non-fusion spinal surgery at the target level. Must be used with autogenous bone graft and FDA-cleared supplemental internal fixation.
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.
