Indications for Use
Valeo™ Spacer System-C and ValerM II Interbody Fusion Device System -Cervical are indicated for use in sketally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level or two contiguous levels. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Valeo™ Spacer System-C and Valeo™ II Interbody Fusion Device System -Cervical are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are placed via an anterior approach from the C2-C3 disc space to the C7-T1 disc space using autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. Valeo™ System-C and Valeo™ II Interbody Fusion Device System -Cervical are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Valeo™ Spacer System-L and Valeo™ II Interbody Fusion Device System - Lumbar are indicated for use with autograft bone graft in patients with 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. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). Valeo™ Spacer System-L and Valeo™ II Interbody Fusion Device System - Lumbar are intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems, such as Preference Pedicle Screw System. Patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of non-operative therapy prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
Hollow intervertebral body spacers; convex, bullet-nose design; axial void for bone graft; angular teeth for endplate grip/expulsion resistance. Used in cervical (C2-T1) or lumbar (L2-S1) spine fusion. Implanted by surgeons via anterior approach. Facilitates fusion using autograft or allogenic bone graft. Supplemental fixation required. Benefits patient by stabilizing disc space and promoting fusion in DDD cases.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Substantial equivalence supported by clinical literature review assessing safety of two-level cervical application and allograft use.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: MC2 ceramic (silicon nitride). Design: Hollow intervertebral spacer with axial void, convex bullet-nose, and angular teeth. Sterile. Standalone implant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C2-T1) with radicular symptoms at 1-2 levels, or lumbar spine (L2-S1) with DDD/Grade I spondylolisthesis at 1-2 levels. Requires supplemental fixation and prior non-operative therapy (6 weeks cervical, 6 months lumbar).
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.
