Intended Use
The iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months.
Device Story
iFuse Implant System consists of cannulated triangular titanium implants with porous surfaces and associated surgical instruments. Implants are surgically placed across sacroiliac (SI) joint to provide immediate stabilization and facilitate fusion. Principle of operation relies on triangular geometry and interference fit to minimize joint micromotion; porous surface promotes osseointegration. Fenestrations allow packing of autograft/allograft material. System used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Delivery system utilizes guide pins for accurate placement. Device provides mechanical fixation to stabilize SI joint, potentially reducing pain and improving function for patients with chronic SI joint dysfunction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data includes mechanical testing (static/fatigue bending, pull-out), biocompatibility, MR safety, and LAL testing for pyrogenicity. Validation included additive manufacturing process controls (printing validation, powder bed recycling, cleaning). Results demonstrate performance comparable to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Cannulated triangular implants; Material: Titanium (Ti 6Al 4V ELI, ASTM F136/F3001); Additively manufactured with interconnected porous surface; Gamma sterilized; MR conditional; Non-pyrogenic.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction resulting from sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis, including conditions originating during pregnancy or peripartum period persisting postpartum for >6 months.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.
The iFuse Implant System consists of cannulated triangular, titanium (Ti 6A1 4V ELI, ASTM F136/F3001) implants with a porous surface and an instrument system. The principle of operation is that the triangular implant shape and porous surface are designed to prevent and minimize motion/micromotion of the sacroiliac (SI) joint, and thereby stabilize the SI joint. The mechanism of action is that the interference fit allows fixation, stabilization and fusion. The delivery system uses guide pins for accurate permanent surgical placement. The implants are available in varying lengths and diameters, and are provided sterile (gamma sterilization). Fenestrations allow packing of autograft and/or allograft material.
#### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during

pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months.
#### VI. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THEPREDICATE
The iFuse Implant System consists of manual instruments and a series of triangular titanium implants intended for surgical implantation across the sacroiliac joint to create immediate stabilization and fusion. The proposed implant is additively manufactured.
# VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Performance testing was conducted to support the design and development of the proposed implant including mechanical testing, simulated use testing, and biocompatibility testing. The mechanical testing included static and fatigue bending testing, as well as pull-out testing of the finished device. Additionally, MR safety testing to establish that the device is MR conditional was conducted as well as Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) testing to establish that the device meets the specified 20 EU/device limit. The test results show that the exhibited characteristics are comparable to the predicate and reference devices. The interconnected porous surface was found to have comparable porosity and mechanical characteristics compared to the predicates and acceptable performance in a simulated use test. Characterization of the porous structure was performed. The device was also found to be MR conditional, non-pyrogenic and biocompatible. The performance tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as well as the legally marketed devices identified in Section III. Validation tests included printing validation (e.g. build parameters), powder bed recycling validation and cleaning validation.
## VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The intended use is unchanged compared to the predicate devices and the verification and validation results, technological characteristics, and the performance data support that the proposed implants are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The performance data also demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as well as the legally marketed devices identified in Section III.
