Indications for Use
The AccuLIF TL and PL Cages are indicated for intervertebral body fusion with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion 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. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have completed six months of non-operative treatment. Additionally, the AccuLIF TL and PL Cages can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. The AccuLIF TL and PL Cages are always to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation. Additionally, the AccuLIF TL and PL Cages are to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion.
Device Story
Expandable interbody fusion cage; inserted in unexpanded state via delivery handle; expanded in-situ to required height using hydraulic cylinder/piston system; system includes disposable flexible expansion tubing and inflation syringe; device automatically locks at 1mm increments during expansion. Used in OR by surgeons for spinal fusion procedures. Provides structural support to intervertebral space; facilitates fusion when used with bone graft and supplemental fixation. Benefits patients by restoring disc height and stabilizing spinal segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI per ASTM F136-08), Stainless Steel (316 LVM per ASTM F138-08), Silicone Rubber (MED-4870). Mechanism: Hydraulic expansion via cylinder/piston arrangement. Features: Expandable, automatic 1mm increment locking, various sizes/lordotic angles. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) or degenerative scoliosis. DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. Requires six months of prior non-operative treatment. Must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation and autograft/allogenic bone graft.
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.
