Indications for Use
Elite™ Expandable implants are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be sketally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. Elite™ Expandable implants are designed for use with autograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion and are intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Story
Elite™ Expandable Interbody Fusion Device is a spinal implant system used for lumbar intervertebral body fusion. The device consists of titanium alloy cages with ridges/teeth to resist migration and internal cavities for bone graft packing. It is implanted by a surgeon in an OR setting. The device is designed to be used with autograft/allograft bone and supplemental fixation systems. By providing structural support and facilitating fusion, the device aims to alleviate back pain associated with degenerative disc disease. The system includes specific surgical instrumentation for implantation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance and ASTM standards, including static/dynamic axial compression, subsidence, compression shear, expulsion, and static torsion. Bacterial endotoxin testing conducted per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V, ELI). Design: Expandable cage with ridges/teeth for fixation and bone graft cavities. Standards: ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1). Requires six months of failed non-operative treatment.
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.
