Indications for Use
When used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion Device: The Virtu C cervical spine devices are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the cervical spine (C2-T1). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone (allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft). The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared cervical supplemental fixation system. Patients should receive 6 weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment. When used as a Vertebral Body Replacement Device: The Virtu C device is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for partial or total replacement of a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to trauma/fracture or tumor to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft bone. The Virtu C device is intended to be used with a FDA cleared supplemental fixation device such as a lumbar pedicle screw system.
Device Story
Virtu C Spinal Implant System consists of intervertebral body fusion and vertebral body replacement implants. Implants are placed into the spinal column to provide stability, support fusion, or restore vertebral height following decompression. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic or neurosurgeons. Implants are used in conjunction with autograft/allograft bone and FDA-cleared supplemental fixation systems (e.g., pedicle screws). Benefits include spinal stabilization and restoration of anatomical height in degenerative or traumatic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data includes static and dynamic axial compression (ASTM F2077), static and dynamic torsion (ASTM F2077), static subsidence (ASTM F2267), and static expulsion (ASTM F-04.25.02.02).
Technological Characteristics
Implants manufactured from VESTAKEEP® i4 R PEEK (ASTM F2026) with tantalum markers (ASTM F560). Device is a passive mechanical implant provided in various sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. No energy source or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (C2-T1) requiring fusion with bone graft and supplemental fixation, or patients with thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body damage/instability due to trauma, fracture, or tumor requiring replacement, decompression, 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.
