Indications for Use
When used with the bone screws, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one 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 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material. When used with the SpinPlate, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one 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 These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material. When used with the SpinPlate, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is intended for use with supplemental fixation. The Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, when used with bone screws or bone screws and the SpinPlate, is a stand alone device. If the Integra Spine Vu aPod Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is used only with the SpinPlate then additional supplemental fixation, which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine, must be used to augment stability. This device is intended to be used 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 device.
Device Story
Lumbar intervertebral body fusion device; consists of PEEK spacer, titanium alloy bone screws, and SpinPlate. Used in lumbar spine (L2-S1) to facilitate fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. Spacer interior packed with autogenous bone graft. Implanted by surgeons in clinical setting. Functions as stand-alone device when used with bone screws or combination of screws and SpinPlate; requires additional supplemental fixation if used only with SpinPlate. Provides structural support to disc space to promote fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments and reducing pain associated with discogenic degeneration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing performed. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic compression-shear) and ASTM F2267 (static subsidence) and expulsion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Spacer: PEEK-OPTIMA LT-1 (ASTM F2026) with Tantalum markers (ASTM F560). Screws/SpinPlate: Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136). Mechanical fixation via screws/plates. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, including those with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis, who have failed at least 6 months of 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.
