Intended Use
CORBEL™ Spacers are integrated anterior lumbar interbody fusion devices indicated for use at one or more levels of the lumbosacral spine (L1-S1), as an adjunct to fusion in patients with the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD), disc hemiation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy), spondylolisthesis, deformity (degenerative scoliosis or kyphosis), spinal stenosis, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). 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. CORBEL™ Spacers are intended to be used with or without three screws and/or anchors which accompany the implants. These devices are intended for use with supplemental fixation (e.g. facet screws or posterior fixation). In addition, these devices are intended for stand-alone use in patients with DDD at one or two levels only when <25° lordotic implants are used with three screws per implant. CORBEL™ Spacers are to be filled with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone.
Device Story
Integrated anterior lumbar interbody fusion device; provides structural stability post-discectomy. Device features superior/inferior surface protrusions for endplate grip; includes optional screws/anchors for bony fixation. Used in lumbosacral spine (L1-S1). Implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures. Acts as a scaffold for autograft/allogenic bone graft to facilitate fusion. Provides structural support; can be used with supplemental posterior fixation or as stand-alone in specific DDD cases. Benefits patients by stabilizing spinal segments and promoting fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 and F2267; bacterial endotoxin testing performed per ANSI/AAMI ST-72:2011.
Technological Characteristics
Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) spacers; screws/anchors of titanium alloy (ASTM F136, F1295) or cobalt chrome (ASTM F1537). Optional hydroxyapatite coating (ASTM F1185). Mechanical fixation via screws/anchors. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD), disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, deformity (scoliosis/kyphosis), spinal stenosis, or pseudarthrosis at L1-S1. Requires 6 months of failed non-operative treatment.
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. Antonacci:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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 CORBEL™ Spacers.
# Device Description:
CORBEL™ Spacers are integrated anterior lumbar interbody fusion devices used to provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectorny. The spacers 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 the device grip the endplates of the adjacent vertebrae to aid in expulsion resistance. Screws and/or anchors are inserted through the anterior portion of the implant into adjacent vertebral bodies for bony fixation.
CORBEL™ Spacers are manufactured from titanium alloy, as specified in ASTM F136. The mating screws and anchors are manufactured from titanium alloy, per ASTM F136 and F1295, and/or cobalt chrome alloy, per ASTM F1537. Titanium screws and anchors are available with or without hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, per ASTM F1185.

CORBEL™ Spacers are integrated anterior lumbar interbody fusion devices indicated for use at one or more levels of the lumbosacral spine (L1-S1), as an adjunct to fusion in patients with the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD), disc herniation (with myelopathy and/or radiculopathy), spondylolisthesis, deformity (degenerative scoliosis or kyphosis), spinal stenosis, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). 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.
CORBEL™ Spacers are intended to be used with or without three screws and/or anchors which accompany the implants. These devices are intended for use with supplemental fixation (e.g. facet screws or posterior fixation). In addition, these devices are intended for stand-alone use in patients with DDD at one or two levels only when <25° lordotic implants are used with three screws per implant.
CORBEL™ Spacers are to be filled with autograft bone and/or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone.
# 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:
Subject implants have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices including design, intended use, material composition, function, and range of sizes.
#### Basis of Substantial Equivalence:
Subject interbody devices 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 of the subject spacers to the predicate devices.
