Indications for Use
The Tranquil-L 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 Tranquil-L Interbody System is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in sketally 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 I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s). The Tranquil-L device is intended to be used supplemental fixation systems.
Device Story
Tranquil-L Interbody System is a spinal implant system for intervertebral body fusion. Device consists of Ti-6Al-4V ELI implants available in various angles, widths, heights, and lengths to accommodate lumbar anatomy. Used in surgical settings by surgeons to treat Degenerative Disc Disease. Implants are provided clean and non-sterile, requiring steam sterilization by the user. System functions as a spacer to facilitate fusion when used with autograft and supplemental fixation. Subject device expands existing product line to include additional implant footprints for ALIF surgical approach. Clinical benefit is stabilization of the spinal segment to promote fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing evaluated compression, compression shear, and subsidence using worst-case constructs from previous clearance (K170297). Expulsion testing was conducted on the new worst-case ALIF construct to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ti-6Al-4V ELI. Form factor: Lumbar interbody spacers in various angles, widths, heights, and lengths. Sterilization: Steam sterilization (user facility). Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). DDD defined as discogenic back pain with radiographic confirmation. Includes patients with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis and those with prior non-fusion spinal surgery. Must be used with autograft 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.
