Indications for Use
Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices - Cervical are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radios. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Cervical are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Cervical are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Lumbar are indicated for use with autograft bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Lumbar are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems, such as the Preference Pedicle Screw System. Patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of non-operative therapy prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
Valeo II Interbody Fusion Device; hollow vertebral body spacer; convex, bullet-nose design; axial void for autograft bone graft; angular teeth for endplate grip and expulsion resistance. Implanted surgically via anterior approach (cervical) or standard approach (lumbar) by orthopedic/neurosurgeons. Used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Requires supplemental spinal fixation. Provides structural support to disc space; promotes fusion; stabilizes spinal segment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via static/dynamic compression and torsion per ASTM F2077-11. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-1:2009, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, and genotoxicity studies.
Technological Characteristics
Hollow vertebral body spacer; convex, bullet-nose geometry; angular teeth for fixation. Dimensions: 14-34mm length, up to 22mm height. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077-11. Non-active, implantable device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C3-C7, one level) with radicular symptoms, or lumbar spine (L2-S1, one or two contiguous levels) with discogenic pain and up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. Requires autograft bone and supplemental fixation. Contraindicated in patients without prior non-operative treatment (6 weeks for cervical, 6 months for lumbar).
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.
