Indications for Use
The aprevo™ anterior lumbar interbody fusion and aprevo™ lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices are intended for interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients and are to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The aprevo™ anterior lumbar interbody fusion and aprevo™ lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices are indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion at one or more levels of the lumbar spine in patients having an ODI >40 and diagnosed with severe symptomatic adult spinal deformity (ASD) conditions. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. The devices are intended to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or cortico-cancellous bone graft. These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive approaches. These approaches may include anterior lumbar interbody fusion or lateral lumbar interbody fusion.
Device Story
Patient-specific intervertebral body fusion device; designed for lumbar spinal stabilization and deformity correction. Input: patient CT scans used to develop individualized surgical correction plans and device configurations. Transformation: additive manufacturing (3D printing) of titanium alloy implants tailored to patient-specific anatomy. Output: personalized interbody fusion cage with internal cavity for bone graft. Usage: implanted by surgeons via open or minimally invasive anterior/lateral lumbar approaches. Clinical impact: facilitates spinal fusion; addresses severe symptomatic adult spinal deformity; provides patient-specific anatomical fit.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing (static/dynamic axial compression and shear per ASTM F2077, subsidence per ASTM F2267) and non-clinical validation studies, including a cadaver accuracy validation study and inter-/intra-designer variability testing for segmentation, planning, and implant design.
Technological Characteristics
Additively manufactured titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F3001. Features patient-specific geometry derived from CT scans. Includes internal cavity for bone graft. Mechanical performance validated per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with severe symptomatic adult spinal deformity (ASD) and ODI >40, requiring interbody fusion at one or more lumbar levels after six months of failed non-operative treatment. Used with supplemental fixation and bone graft.
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.
