Intended Use
The Stryker Spine AVS® AL and AVS® ALign PEEK Spacers are intervertebral body fusion devices indicated for use with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (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). These patients should be skeletally mature and have six months of nonoperative therapy. Additionally, the AVS® AL and AVS® ALign PEEK Spacers can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. The AVS® AL and AVS® ALign PEEK Spacers are to be implanted via anterior or anterolateral approach. The AVS® AL and AVS® ALign PEEK Spacers are intended to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion spacers; hollow, ring/rectangular/oblong implants; manufactured from PEEK OPTIMA LT1; include tantalum markers for radiographic visualization; serrated superior/inferior surfaces for fixation. Implanted via anterior, anterolateral, posterior, or posterolateral approaches depending on specific model (AL, ALign, PL, UniLIF, TL, Navigator, ARIA). Used by surgeons in clinical settings as adjunct to fusion with autograft/allogenic bone graft and supplemental spinal fixation systems. Devices provide structural support to intervertebral space to facilitate fusion; benefit patients by stabilizing spinal segments affected by degenerative disc disease or degenerative scoliosis.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical or bench testing performed. Evidence consists of published clinical literature regarding lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to the subject devices, demonstrating that use for degenerative scoliosis does not adversely affect system performance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PEEK OPTIMA LT1 with tantalum markers. Design: Hollow spacers with serrated superior/inferior surfaces; various lengths, heights, and lordotic angles. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified (identical to predicate).
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, or degenerative scoliosis. DDD defined as discogenic back pain with radiographic confirmation, potentially including up to Grade I spondylolisthesis, following six months of failed nonoperative therapy. Used with autograft/allogenic cancellous bone graft and supplemental lumbosacral fixation.
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.

Dear Ms. Meany:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing
{1}------------------------------------------------

| Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The subject Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices<br>and the predicate systems share similar design features:<br>• Graft windows for packing autogenous and/or allogenic bone<br>graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft<br>when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion<br>• Serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces<br>• Comparable heights, widths, depths, and lordotic angles |
| Summary of the<br>Performance Data | Published clinical data for lumbar interbody fusion devices similar to<br>the Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices that are<br>the subject of this submission was provided in support of this<br>application. The published clinical outcomes demonstrated that the<br>use of the lumbar interbody fusion procedures to treat patients<br>diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis above does not adversely<br>affect performance of the system and does not represent a new<br>worst case scenario. No changes were made to the existing |
{17}------------------------------------------------
| | devices; therefore, no additional implant testing was required or |
|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | performed. |
| Conclusion | The design features, materials used, manufacturing, and sterilization<br>methods are identical to the previously cleared Stryker Spine lumbar<br>intervertebral body fusion devices with the exception of broadening<br>the indications to include the use Stryker Spine lumbar intervertebral<br>body fusion devices to treat patients diagnosed with degenerative<br>scoliosis. |
| | The data presented in this submission demonstrate that the Stryker<br>Spine lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices that are the subject<br>of this submission with the broadened indications as described<br>above are substantially equivalent to the predicate systems. |
