Indications for Use

The Solitaire Anterior Spinal System is indicated for vertebral body replacement and intervertebral fusion. When used for vertebral body replacement, the Solitaire Anterior Spinal System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T10 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Solitaire System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Solitaire System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. As an intervertebral body fusion device designed for use with autograft, the Solitaire Anterior Spinal System is indicated for stand-alone intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.

Device Story

The Solitaire Anterior Spinal System is a spinal implant system consisting of a spacer with radiographic markers and three bone screws. Constructed from titanium alloy, the device is surgically implanted into the intervertebral body space of the lumbosacral spine along with bone graft material. It functions as a mechanical support to restore spinal height, achieve decompression, and facilitate fusion in the thoracolumbar and lumbar spine. The device is intended for use by surgeons in an operating room setting. By providing structural stability to the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal columns, the system aims to restore biomechanical integrity and alleviate symptoms associated with discogenic pain, fractures, or tumors.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy construction; includes spacer with radiographic markers and three bone screws; designed for intervertebral body fusion and vertebral body replacement; mechanical fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring vertebral body replacement (T10-L5) for tumors or fractures, or stand-alone intervertebral fusion (L2-S1) for degenerative disc disease with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis after 6 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.
