Indications for Use
When used as an interbody fusion device, the TRULIFT® Expandable Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). 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 at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level(s) may be treated with the device. This device is intended to be used with autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw or anterolateral plating system) that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Story
TruLift Expandable Spacer System is an intervertebral body fusion device used in spinal fusion procedures. The device is implanted by a surgeon during surgery to restore disc height (8mm to 16mm) and facilitate fusion. It is packed with autograft or allogeneic bone graft to promote bone growth. The spacer features teeth on superior and inferior surfaces to prevent rotation and migration. It must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation (e.g., pedicle screws). The device is manufactured from titanium alloy and is provided sterile for single-use only.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data included static axial compression, static compressive shear, static expulsion, dynamic axial compression, and dynamic compressive shear testing per ASTM F2077 to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Intervertebral body fusion device; expandable spacer (8-16mm height). Material: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077. Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) with or without Grade 1 spondylolisthesis, who have failed at least six months of non-operative treatment. Includes patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s).
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.
