Indications for Use
The Mecta-C intervertebral body fusion device is indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients. The device systems are designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. One device may be used per intervertebral space. The implants are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation. The Mecta-C device is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C2-T1, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies). The cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment with the device.
Device Story
Mecta-C TiPEEK is an intervertebral body fusion device for cervical spine stabilization; used in anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures. Device consists of PEEK body (ASTM F 2026) with commercially pure titanium (CPTi) coating (ASTM F 1580) and tantalum markers (ISO 13782/ASTM F 560). Hollow geometry allows packing with autogenous bone graft to promote fusion. Tantalum markers enable radiological assessment of implant position. Surgeon inserts device between cervical vertebrae to provide support and correction. Used at one level (C2-T1) in conjunction with supplemental spinal fixation. Benefits patient by stabilizing intervertebral space and facilitating bone fusion during healing of degenerative disc disease.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing conducted per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance and guidance for metallic plasma sprayed coatings. Mechanical testing included static/dynamic axial compression, compression/shear, and torsion (ASTM F2077), and subsidence (ASTM F2267). Wear analysis performed per ASTM F1877. Enzymatic digestion validation for titanium particulates performed per ASTM F1580. Data indicates performance equivalent to predicates.
Technological Characteristics
Intervertebral body fusion cage. Materials: PEEK (ASTM F 2026), CPTi coating (ASTM F 1580), tantalum markers (ISO 13782/ASTM F 560). Hollow geometry for bone graft. Various widths, heights, and lordosis options. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077, F2267. Wear analysis per ASTM F1877.
Indications for Use
Indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (neck pain of discogenic origin with confirmed degeneration) at one level from C2-T1, following six weeks of failed non-operative treatment. Requires use with autogenous bone graft and supplemental spinal 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.
