Indications for Use
The Cervical Stand-Alone System is a stand-alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous disc levels. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The Cervical Stand-Alone System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed via an anterior approach at one- or two-disc levels (C2-T1) using autograft bone. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment. The Cervical Stand-Alone Interbody Fusion System is intended to be used with the bone screw fixation provided and requires no additional fixation.
Device Story
Cervical Stand-Alone System provides mechanical support for intervertebral body fusion in cervical spine (C2-T1). Device consists of interbody cage with integrated bone screw fixation and anti-backout plate. Surgeon inserts device via anterior approach; cage packed with autogenous bone graft. Serrated superior/inferior surfaces grip vertebral endplates to resist expulsion. Device provides stability until biologic fusion occurs. Used in clinical settings by surgeons. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment and facilitation of fusion without requiring supplemental fixation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included static and dynamic axial compression, compression shear, and torsion per ASTM F2077, and subsidence testing per ASTM F2267.
Technological Characteristics
Interbody fusion cage with integrated screws and anti-backout plate. Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026) with tantalum pins (ASTM F560), or Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), or additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F3001). Non-sterile. Mechanical support via serrated surfaces.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C2-T1) with radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous levels. Requires at least 6 weeks of prior non-operative treatment. Contraindicated in patients without skeletal maturity or those requiring additional fixation beyond the provided bone screws.
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.
