Indications for Use
The CAPSTONE® Spinal System is indicated for interbody fusion with autogenous bone graft in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. Additionally, the CAPSTONE® Spinal System is indicated in the setting of spinal deformity as a supplement to pedicle screw fixation in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. These implants may be implanted via an open or a minimally invasive posterior approach. Alternatively, these implants may also be implanted via an anterior and/or transforaminal approach. These implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. These devices are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation, which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Story
CAPSTONE® Spinal System consists of PEEK interbody cages; hollow geometry allows packing with autogenous bone graft. Implants inserted between lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to provide support and correction during fusion surgery. Used in open or minimally invasive posterior, anterior, or transforaminal approaches. Requires supplemental fixation instrumentation cleared for lumbar spine. Intended to facilitate fusion between vertebral bodies. Surgeon-operated in clinical/OR setting. Benefits include structural support and fusion facilitation in DDD and degenerative scoliosis patients.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of published retrospective clinical data for the CAPSTONE® system and similar interbody cages, demonstrating that use in deformity conditions poses no new patient risks.
Technological Characteristics
PEEK interbody cages; hollow geometry for bone graft containment. Convex, bullet-nosed form factor. Implanted via posterior, anterior, or transforaminal approaches. No changes to materials, design, or sterilization methods from predicate devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two levels (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade 1 Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, who have failed six months of non-operative treatment. Also indicated for use as a supplement to pedicle screw fixation in patients with degenerative scoliosis.
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.
