Indications for Use
The Eminent Spine Standalone ALIF Interbody Fusion is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The Eminent Spine Standalone ALIF Interbody Fusion System is a stand-alone interbody fusion device intended to be used with screws which accompany the spacers for fixation. Hyperlordotic implants (≥25 lordosis) are intended for use with supplemental fixation (e.g. facet screws or posterior fixation). The device is intended for use at either one or two contiguous levels for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I Spondvlolisthesis. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device is designed for use with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft composed ofcancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
Standalone ALIF Interbody Fusion System; intervertebral body fusion device for lumbar spine. Implanted via anterior lumbar approach; packed with autogenous/allogenic bone graft to facilitate fusion. Serrated superior/inferior surfaces grip vertebral endplates; integrated fixation screws inserted through anterior face for stability. Provides mechanical support until biologic fusion occurs. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments and promoting fusion in DDD cases.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical testing included static and dynamic compression, compression-shear, torsion, subsidence, and expulsion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026) with tantalum pins (ASTM F560), or Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), or additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F3001). Integrated fixation screws/plates: Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Form factor: Interbody spacer with integrated screw fixation. Non-software device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) and up to Grade I Spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months of prior non-operative treatment. Hyperlordotic implants (≥25°) require 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.
