Intended Use

The Foundation™ 3D Interbody Cervical Cage is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Foundation™ Cervical implants are used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and are ior approach at one disc level (C2-T1) using autograft bone. Foundation™ 3D Interbody implants are to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage. The Foundation™ 3D Interbody Lumbar Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). Foundation™ implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.

Device Story

Foundation™ 3D Interbody system consists of additively manufactured titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI) cervical and lumbar interbody spacers; designed to provide mechanical support to spine during arthrodesis. Cervical implants feature partially porous construction; lumbar implants feature fully porous architectures with varying pore sizes to facilitate bone growth. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate intervertebral fusion; requires supplemental fixation. Implants provide structural stability while bone graft promotes fusion. Benefits include mechanical support for degenerative disc disease patients.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included static and dynamic axial compression, torsion, and compressive shear per ASTM F2077, as well as subsidence (ASTM F2267) and expulsion testing.

Technological Characteristics

Additively manufactured interbody spacers made of Ti-6AL-4V ELI titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Features porous architecture for bone ingrowth. Dimensions vary by footprint and lordosis angle. Standalone implant used with supplemental fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (one level, C2-T1) or lumbar spine (one or two contiguous levels, L2-S1). Lumbar patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires autograft/autogenous bone graft and supplemental 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.
