Indications for Use
The Velofix™ PEEK Cervical Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. DDD is defined as discogenic pain 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. Patients should have at least six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. The Velofix™ PEEK Lumbar Cage is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease(DDD) at one or two levels for L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discongenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Story
Velofix™ Interbody Fusion System consists of PEEK-OPTIMA LT 1 (ASTM F2026) cages with tantalum (ASTM F560) x-ray markers. Implants feature open architecture for autogenous bone graft packing. Cervical cages implanted via anterior approach; lumbar cages implanted via posterior (PLIF) or transforaminal (TLIF) approaches. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate spinal fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. System requires supplemental fixation. Mechanical performance verified via static and dynamic compression testing (ASTM F2077).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic compression testing performed according to ASTM F2077. Testing met all acceptance criteria, demonstrating performance equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT 1 (ASTM F2026) body, tantalum (ASTM F560) x-ray markers. Instruments: stainless steel (ASTM F899). Design: open architecture cage for bone graft. Connectivity: N/A. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) requiring intervertebral body fusion. Cervical: one level (C2-C3 to C7-T1) with radicular symptoms, 6 weeks non-operative treatment. Lumbar: one or two levels (L2-S1), may include Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, 6 months non-operative treatment. Must be used with autograft and supplemental 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.
