Indications for Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System is 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. Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System 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 is 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 I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved spinal level(s). Nanovis Intervertebral Body Fusion System 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 (PLIF implants) designed for spinal fusion; hollow structural frame allows packing with autogenous bone graft. FortiCore® variants feature integrated titanium scaffold (BioSync-Ti) to assist fixation in intervertebral space. Implants provided sterile; used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize spinal segments. Device provides structural support during fusion process; benefits patients by addressing discogenic pain and instability. System includes various shapes/sizes to accommodate patient anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic compression testing performed per ASTM F2077 to evaluate modified shapes and sizes. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) performed per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011 with a limit of 2.15 EU/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026), Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), CP titanium (ASTM F67), tantalum markers (ASTM F560). Design: Hollow structural frame with integrated titanium scaffold (FortiCore). Sterilization: Sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (neck/back pain of discogenic origin) requiring spinal fusion. Cervical: one level C2-T1, 6 weeks non-operative treatment. Lumbar: one or two contiguous levels L2-S1, 6 months non-operative treatment, may include prior non-fusion surgery or Grade I spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental 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.
