Indications for Use
The KMTI PEEK SA Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S 1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radio graphic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). KMTI PEEK SA ALIF System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should be skeletally mature and have at least six months of non-operative treatment. The KMTI PEEK SA ALIF System is a stand-alone device and is intended to be used with the cover plate and screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation. The anterior cover plate must be utilized whenever the device is implanted using the bone screws provided. Should the surgeon choose to use fewer than the four screws provided, additional supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use inthe lumbar spine must be used. Supplemental fixation, cleared by the FDA for use inthe lumbosacral spine, must be used with implants ≥ 20°.
Device Story
System consists of PEEK cages, titanium screws, and titanium cover plate; used for lumbar interbody fusion. Cages implanted between vertebrae to stabilize spine; screws provide fixation; cover plate prevents screw back-out. Stand-alone device; requires no supplemental fixation if four screws used and lordosis <20°. Surgeon implants device during ALIF procedure. Provides structural support for fusion; benefits patient by stabilizing spinal segment and reducing discogenic pain. Non-sterile packaging option added to previously cleared sterile-only system.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing not required for proposed modifications; sterilization changes validated per ISO 17665-1.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK cages, titanium screws, titanium cover plate. Principle: Intervertebral body fusion with integrated fixation. Form factor: Various sizes for anatomical fit. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Validated per ISO 17665-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). Includes patients with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires autogenous bone graft and at least six months 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.
