Indications for Use
Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices - Cervical are in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level or two contiguous levels. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radios. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Cervical are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach from the C2-C3 disc space using autograft or allogenicbone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancelous bone graft. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Cervical are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Lumbar are indicated for use with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft in patients with desenerative disc disease (DD) 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. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). Valeo II Interbody Fusion Devices-Lumbar are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems. Patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of non-operative therapy prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
Hollow intervertebral body spacers; convex, bullet-nose design; axial void for bone graft (autograft/allograft). Angular teeth provide expulsion resistance. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate spinal fusion. Device provides structural support to disc space; stabilizes vertebral segments; promotes fusion via bone graft containment. Benefits include pain reduction and spinal stabilization. Subject of this 510(k) is the addition of new sizes for the Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) configuration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Failure Effects Analysis performed per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) performed per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011 (limit 0.5 EU/mL). No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic. Design: Hollow spacer with axial void and angular teeth. Sterilization: Gamma radiation. Standards: ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267, ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (one or two levels) with radicular symptoms, or lumbar spine (L2-S1, one or two levels) with back pain. Lumbar patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. Requires supplemental fixation and prior non-operative treatment (6 weeks cervical; 6 months lumbar).
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.
