Indications for Use
The NuVasive CoRoent System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The System is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The CoRoent L and XL platforms are intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The lumbar devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. The NuVasive CoRoent System may also be used as a partial vertebral body replacement device indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor or fracture, to restore height of a collapsed vertebral body, and to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Allograft or autograft material may be used at the surgeon's discretion.
Device Story
NuVasive CoRoent System comprises implantable spinal devices; manufactured from PEEK and titanium alloy; available in various shapes/sizes. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for intervertebral body fusion or partial vertebral body replacement. Requires use with supplemental FDA-cleared internal spinal fixation systems; autogenous bone graft or allograft used to facilitate fusion. Device restores vertebral height; achieves decompression of spinal cord/neural tissues. Benefits patients by stabilizing spine, treating degenerative disc disease, or addressing vertebral damage from tumors/fractures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK and titanium alloy. Form factor: various shapes and sizes for spinal implantation. Intended for use with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring intervertebral body fusion (lumbar L2-S1) for degenerative disc disease with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis, or partial vertebral body replacement (thoracolumbar T1-L5) for tumor or fracture-related damage, height restoration, and spinal cord/neural tissue decompression.
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.
