Indications for Use
When used as a Vertebral Body Replacement Device: The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) for partial or total replacement of a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e. fracture) to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems such as the Aesculap S4 System. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System implants can be used individually or in pairs. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is also intended for use with bone graft. When used as an Intervertebral Body Fusion System: The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System consists of A-Space (semi-circular), ProSpace (bullet), and T-Space (curved) components. These implants are indicated for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). 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 or retrolisthesis at involved levels. These patients may have had previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbrosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implants can be used individually or in pairs. The Aesculap PEEK Spinal Implant System is also intended for use with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the Aesculap device.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion/vertebral body replacement device; implanted into vertebral space to provide stability and support fusion; used in thoracolumbar/lumbosacral spine. Components (A-Space, ProSpace, T-Space) available in various shapes/sizes to match patient anatomy. Used with supplemental spinal fixation systems and bone graft. Implanted by surgeons during spinal procedures; restores vertebral height and achieves anterior decompression. Benefits include spinal stabilization and fusion support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Static and dynamic mechanical testing performed in accordance with ASTM F2077 and/or F1717 per FDA Class II Special Controls Guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Material: PEEK-Optima (ASTM F2026). Form factor: Intervertebral body fusion/replacement components (A-Space, ProSpace, T-Space). Mechanical testing: ASTM F2077, ASTM F1717.
Indications for Use
Indicated for thoracolumbar (T1-L5) vertebral body replacement due to tumor/trauma; and lumbosacral (L2-S1) spinal fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with/without Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months prior 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.
