Indications for Use
The Stryker Spine AVS® A-LAT PEEK Spacers are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. The AVS® A-LAT PEEK Spacers are intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Story
AVS® A-LAT PEEK Spacers are rectangular, hollow-frame intervertebral body fusion implants. Machined from medical-grade PEEK OPTIMA LTI; incorporate Tantalum marker pins for radiographic visualization. Used by surgeons in spinal fusion procedures to restore disc height and facilitate fusion. Implanted in the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) to treat degenerative disc disease; requires concurrent use of autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation systems. Device provides structural support to the intervertebral space, promoting bone growth through lateral fenestrations. Benefits include stabilization of the spinal segment and potential reduction of discogenic back pain.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression and compression shear) and ASTM F2267 (subsidence).
Technological Characteristics
Material: PEEK OPTIMA LTI (ASTM F2026); Markers: Tantalum (ASTM F560). Design: Rectangular hollow frame with lateral fenestrations and superior/inferior serrations. Dimensions: Various sizes/angles. Energy source: None (passive implant). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, including up to Grade I spondylolisthesis, who have failed six months of nonoperative therapy. Must be used with autogenous bone graft and 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.
