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. The Plateau-C Spacer System is intended for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one disc level (C2-T1). DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. It is to be used in patients who have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and a supplemental internal spinal fixation system.

Device Story

Intervertebral body fusion device; hollow implant for autogenous bone graft packing; promotes spinal fusion. Fabricated from PEEK with tantalum markers; superior/inferior surfaces feature teeth to prevent rotation/migration. Implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures; requires supplemental internal spinal fixation (e.g., pedicle screws/plating). Provides structural support to vertebral space; facilitates fusion process; benefits patients with degenerative disc disease.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static and dynamic testing in compression and torsion performed in accordance with ASTM F2077 to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) per ASTM F2026 with tantalum markers. Design: Hollow body with teeth on superior/inferior surfaces. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) with at least six months of non-operative treatment, or one disc level (C2-T1) with at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD defined as discogenic pain/back pain with disc degeneration confirmed by history and radiography. May include up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis for L2-S1 patients.

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 (K121116)

## 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 Polyetheretherketone conforming to ASTM F2026 with tantalum markers. 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.
