Intended Use

The ELSA™ Spacer is an interbody fusion device intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The ELSA™ Spacer is to be filled with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, may be used with two bone screws, and is to be used with supplemental fixation. Hyperlordotic (≥20°) implants must be used with the two bone screws and supplemental fixation in addition to the bone screws.

Device Story

Expandable lateral lumbar interbody fusion device; provides structural stability post-discectomy. Device implanted during spinal surgery; filled with autograft/allogenic bone graft to promote fusion. Features superior/inferior surface protrusions for endplate gripping/expulsion resistance. Used with supplemental fixation; hyperlordotic variants (≥20°) require two bone screws plus supplemental fixation. Benefits patient by restoring disc height and facilitating spinal fusion in DDD cases.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267 (static/dynamic compression, compression-shear, subsidence, expulsion). Bacterial endotoxin testing performed per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.

Technological Characteristics

Expandable interbody fusion device. Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136, F1295) and radiolucent PEEK polymer (ASTM F2026). Screws available with hydroxyapatite coating (ASTM F1185). Mechanical design includes surface protrusions for endplate fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbosacral levels (L2-S1) with discogenic back pain, unresponsive to ≥6 months non-operative treatment; may include up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis.

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 Dr. Baker:

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.

## Purpose:

The purpose of this submission is to request clearance for the ELSA™ Spacers.

# Device Description:

ELSA™ Spacers are expandable lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The devices are available in various heights and geometric options to fit the anatomical needs of a wide variety of patients. Protrusions on the superior and inferior surfaces of each device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to aid in expulsion resistance.

ELSA™ Spacers are manufactured from titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136 and F1295, and include an internal component manufactured from radiolucent PEEK polymer, as specified in ASTM F2026. The screws used with ELSA™ are manufactured from titanium allov, as specified in ASTM F136 and F1295, and are available with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, as specified in ASTM F1185.

# Indications for Use:

The ELSA™ Spacer is an interbody fusion device intended for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the

{4}------------------------------------------------

lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment. In addition, these patients may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The ELSA™ Spacer is to be filled with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, may be used with two bone screws, and is to be used with supplemental fixation. Hyperlordotic (≥20°) implants must be used with the two bone screws and supplemental fixation in addition to the bone screws.

## Performance Data:

Mechanical testing (static and dynamic compression and compression-shear, subsidence, and expulsion) was conducted in accordance with the "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Fusion Device," June 12, 2007, ASTM F2077, and ASTM F2267 to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Bacterial endotoxin testing (BET) was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.

# Technological Characteristics

The ELSA™ implants have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices including design, intended use, material composition, and range of sizes.

## Basis of Substantial Equivalence:

ELSA™ Spacers have been found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to technical characteristics, performance, and intended use. The information provided within this premarket notification supports substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. ELSA™ Spacers are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the predicate devices.
