Indications for Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral fusion device, the Coveris devices are indicated for use at one or two contiguous levels in the cervical spine, from C2-T1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is intended for use with autogenous bone graft or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and with supplemental fixation (such as anterior cervical plating systems, or posterior systems) systems cleared for use in the cervical spine.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion device; maintains disc space distraction; used in cervical spine (C2-T1). Device features hollow center for bone graft material; superior/inferior surface ridges for endplate grip/expulsion prevention. Used in conjunction with supplemental spinal fixation (e.g., anterior cervical plating). Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segments to facilitate fusion in patients with DDD.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of a comprehensive clinical literature review investigating risks and benefits of allograft use and two-level application, supplemented by bench testing (static compression and static torsion per ASTM F2077).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026) with embedded tantalum x-ray markers (ASTM F560). Design: Intervertebral cage with hollow center and surface ridges. Connectivity: None. Energy source: 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 levels (C2-T1) in the cervical spine, following six weeks 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.
