Indications for Use
The Stryker Spine AVS® Anchor-L is an intervertebral body fusion device 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. 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® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage System is to be implanted via an open, anterior approach. The AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage System may be used as an intervertebral device with integrated fixation or in conjunction with supplemental fixation. When used as an intervertebral device with integrated fixation, the AVS® Anchor-L Lumbar Cage must be used with the three internal screws and plate fixation provided by AVS® Anchor-L Fixation Screws and Clip Plate. If AVS® Anchor-L is used with less than three or none of the provided screws, additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbosacral spine must be used to augment stability. The accompanying Clip Plate must be used anytime the device is used with any number of screws.
Device Story
Hollow, rectangular PEEK Optima cage; includes tantalum markers for radiographic visualization; features graft windows for autogenous bone packing; serrated superior/inferior surfaces for stability. Implanted via open anterior approach. Functions as intervertebral fusion device; provides integrated fixation via internal screws and clip plate or used with supplemental fixation. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate spinal fusion in DDD patients; promotes bone growth; stabilizes vertebral segments; reduces back pain.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression, static/dynamic compression shear, static/dynamic torsion), ASTM F04-25-02-02 (expulsion), and ASTM F2267 (subsidence). No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK Optima, tantalum markers. Design: Hollow, rectangular cage with graft windows and serrated surfaces. Energy: None (passive implant). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. Standards: ASTM F2077, ASTM F2267.
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.
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.
