Indications for Use
The CONCORDE Bullet System is indicated for use as an intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Additionally, the CONCORDE Bullet System can be used in patients diagnosed with spinal deformities as an adjunct to fusion. These patients should be skeletally mature and have undergone six months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via either a PLIF or TLIF approach using autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. When used as an interbody fusion device these implants are intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation products. The CONCORDE Bullet System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1-L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. This system is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. This system is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. When used as a vertebral body pplacement device this system is intended for use with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation products.
Device Story
CONCORDE Bullet Lumbar Interbody System consists of polymer/carbon fiber composite cages; available in various shapes/sizes to match patient anatomy. Cages feature teeth to resist rotation/migration and cavities for bone graft packing. Radiolucent material with tantalum x-ray markers allows radiographic healing assessment. Implanted by surgeons via PLIF or TLIF approach; used with DePuy Spine supplemental internal fixation. System restores biomechanical integrity of spinal column; facilitates fusion or replaces diseased/fractured vertebral bodies. Benefits include spinal stabilization and height restoration.
Clinical Evidence
Literature analysis of published clinical data provided. Clinical and radiographic outcomes demonstrate that interbody fusion devices similar to the subject device are as safe and effective as predicates for the modified indications. No new bench or clinical testing performed.
Technological Characteristics
Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 Compound (CFRP) cages. Tantalum x-ray markers (ASTM F-560). Radiolucent structure. Various shapes/sizes. Manual surgical instrumentation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (discogenic back pain, L2-S1, 1-2 levels) or spinal deformities (adjunct to fusion) requiring 6 months of failed non-operative treatment. Also indicated for thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body replacement due to tumors, decompression, or fractures.
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.
