Indications for Use
InFill® interbody fusion device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. InFill® interbody fusion device is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. InFill® interbody fusion device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The lumbar devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. InFill® interbody fusion device is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive approaches. These approaches include anterior, lateral and transforaminal.
Device Story
InFill® Interbody Fusion Device is a radiolucent spinal implant used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine. The device is manufactured from PEEK OPTIMA LT1 and includes tantalum markers for radiographic visibility. It is provided sterile for single-use. The implant is box or banana-shaped with a bullet nose and surface teeth for bone engagement; it features a central fenestration to support autogenous bone graft. Surgeons implant the device via open or minimally invasive approaches (anterior, lateral, or transforaminal) to treat degenerative disc disease. The device is used in conjunction with FDA-cleared supplemental internal spinal fixation systems. The current submission introduces additional length and height options to the existing product family to better accommodate individual patient anatomy. Clinical benefit is derived from stabilizing the intervertebral space to promote fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) comparing the mechanical performance of the new device sizes to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK OPTIMA LT1 and tantalum markers. Design: Box-shaped or banana-shaped with bullet nose, surface teeth, and central fenestration for bone graft. Dimensions: Various lengths (up to 34mm) and heights (8-16mm). Energy source: None (passive implant). Sterilization: Provided sterile. Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1). Requires at least six months of failed non-operative treatment. Used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental internal 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.
