Indications for Use
Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are intervertebral body devices intended for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) of the cervical spine at one level from C2-T1. Cervical degenerative disc disease is defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation on the posterior vertebral endplates producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Talos®-C (HA) Cervical IBF Devices are intended to be used with autologous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Non-operative treatment prior to treatment with Talos®-C (HA) Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices is six (6) weeks. Talos®-C (HA) Cervical IBF Devices are to be implanted via an open anterior approach. Talos®-C (HA) Cervical IBF Devices are also to be used with supplemental fixation.
Device Story
Talos-C (HA) Cervical IBF Device; rectangular intervertebral body fusion implant; made of hydroxyapatite-impregnated polyetheretherketone (HA PEEK); features ridged teeth for pullout resistance; includes tantalum markers for radiographic positioning. Implanted by surgeons via open anterior approach to cervical spine (C2-T1); used with autologous bone graft to facilitate fusion; requires supplemental fixation. Device accommodates anatomical variations via multiple sizes and lordotic/flat configurations. Benefits patients by providing structural support during spinal fusion for degenerative disc disease.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical equivalency established via static and dynamic compression, shear, and torsion testing per ASTM 2077 and ASTM 2267, plus subsidence testing. Simulated aging performed followed by additional dynamic mechanical testing.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Hydroxyapatite-impregnated polyetheretherketone (HA PEEK). Form factor: Rectangular, ridged teeth, curved lateral walls, rounded edges. Markers: Tantalum. Standards: ASTM 2077 (static/dynamic compression, shear, torsion), ASTM 2267 (subsidence). Connectivity: None. Energy source: None. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) of the cervical spine at one level from C2-T1, defined as intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation causing nerve root/spinal cord compression. Requires 6 weeks of failed non-operative treatment. Must be used with autologous bone graft and supplemental fixation via open anterior approach.
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.
