• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The Plateau Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-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 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw or anterolateral plating system) that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

Device Story

Intervertebral body fusion device; titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) spacer; hollow design for autogenous bone graft packing; superior/inferior teeth for endplate interface to prevent rotation/migration. Used in spinal fusion procedures by surgeons; requires supplemental internal spinal fixation (e.g., pedicle screws). Provides structural support to facilitate fusion in DDD patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; engineering analysis demonstrated no new worst-case performance compared to predicate systems.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) per ASTM F136. Design: Hollow spacer with surface teeth for fixation. Single-use only.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis, who have failed at least six 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.

Predicate Devices

• Plateau Spacer System (K080411)

#### Device Description:

The Plateau Spacer System is intended to serve as an intervertebral body fusion device. The implant is available in a range of sizes and footprints to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. It is fabricated and manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136. The implant is hollow to permit packing with autogenous bone graft to help promote intervertebral body fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces have teeth to assist in the interface with the vertebral endplates to prevent rotation and/or migration.

All implants are intended for single use only and should not be reused under any circumstances. Do not use any of the Plateau Spacer System components with components from any other system or manufacturer. The Plateau Spacer System components should never be reused under any circumstances.

### Intended Use of the Device:

The Plateau Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-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 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw or anterolateral plating system) that is cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.

### Performance Data:

Engineering analysis was presented to demonstrate that the Plateau Spacer System Titanium does not present a new worst case in performance and is substantially equivalent to the predicate systems.

### Substantial Equivalence:

The purpose of this submission is to add titanium components to the Plateau Spacer System. The addition of these components was shown to be substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices in indications for use, design, function, and materials used.
