Indications for Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one spinal level from C2-T1. These patients should have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for cervical fusion procedures. When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® are intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. These patients should have had six months of nonoperative treatment. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery and/or may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). The Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System and FortiCore® implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for lumbar spinal fusion procedures.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion system consisting of implants and surgical instruments; used for spinal fusion procedures. Implants feature hollow structural frames for packing with autogenous bone graft; FortiCore® variants include integrated titanium scaffold for secure placement in intervertebral space. Available in various shapes/sizes to match patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in clinical settings; provides structural support to facilitate fusion. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment and promotion of bone growth. Device is purely mechanical; no software or electronic components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified via finite element and dimensional analyses. Bacterial Endotoxins Test (BET) performed per ANSI/AAMI ST72; results met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026), Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), CP titanium (ASTM F67), tantalum marker (ASTM F560). Design: Hollow structural frame with integrated titanium scaffold (BioSync-Ti). Dimensions: Various widths, lengths, and heights within predicate ranges. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease requiring spinal fusion at one level (C2-T1) or one/two contiguous levels (L2-S1). Cervical patients require 6 weeks non-operative treatment; lumbar patients require 6 months non-operative treatment. Lumbar patients may have prior non-fusion surgery or up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis.
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.
