Indications for Use
The TranquilTM Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The device system is designed for use with autograft to facilitate fusion. The TranquilTM Cervical Interbody System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one level in the cervical spine (C3 to C7) 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) of the cervical spine. The cervical device is to be implanted via an open, anterior approach and packed with autogenous bone. The cervical device is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. This device system is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation systems. The TranquilTM Lumbar Interbody System is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. The patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s). The device is intended to be used with supplemental internal fixation systems.
Device Story
Tranquil Interbody System; spinal fusion implant; Ti-6Al-4V ELI material; additive manufacturing; various angles, widths, heights, lengths; implanted via open, anterior approach (cervical); packed with autogenous bone; used with supplemental internal fixation; provides structural support to intervertebral space; facilitates fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease; used in clinical/surgical settings by physicians.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification activities performed per ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267, and expulsion testing. Results demonstrate performance substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ti-6Al-4V ELI. Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing. Form factor: Various angles, widths, heights, lengths for cervical/lumbar anatomy. Sterilization: Provided clean/non-sterile for steam sterilization at user facility. Standards: ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients. Cervical: one level (C3-C7) for degenerative disc disease (DDD) with neck pain, failed 6 weeks non-operative treatment. Lumbar: one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) for DDD with back pain, including Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis; prior non-fusion surgery allowed. Requires autograft and supplemental internal 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.
