Indications for Use
Lucent® and Lucent Magnum® are intervertebral body fusion devices intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (T1-L5) 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 at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months non-operative treatment prior to being treated with this device.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion device; box-shaped cage with internal voids for autograft placement; superior/inferior surface teeth for migration resistance. Manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) or PEEK-Optima; modification adds plasma-sprayed titanium coating to PEEK. Used in lumbar spinal surgery; implanted by surgeons. Functions as structural support for vertebral bodies during fusion; requires supplemental fixation (pedicle screws/rods or plates). Benefits patient by facilitating spinal fusion in DDD cases.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static compression, torsion, compression-shear; dynamic compression), ASTM F2267 (subsidence), and ASTM F1877/F2025-06 (wear). Coating characterization performed per ASTM F1044 (static/dynamic shear) and ASTM F1147 (static tension). No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) or PEEK-Optima. Coating: Plasma-sprayed titanium. Standards: ASTM F2077 (mechanical), ASTM F2267 (subsidence), ASTM F1877/F2025-06 (wear), ASTM F1044 (shear), ASTM F1147 (tension). Form factor: Box-shaped cage with teeth. Energy source: None (mechanical).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (T1-L5). DDD defined as discogenic back pain with radiographic confirmation. Patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis and prior non-fusion surgery. Requires use with supplemental fixation and autogenous bone graft. Contraindicated in patients without 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.
