Intended Use
The ZSFab Cervical Interbody System is intended for anterior interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients who have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. The ZSFab Cervical Interbody System is indicated to treat cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI), that results in radiculopathy, myelopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 - T1. The ZSFab Cervical Interbody System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone to facilitate fusion and to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for use in the cervical spine.
Device Story
ZSFab Cervical Interbody System consists of additively manufactured titanium alloy interbody fusion implants; designed for surgical stabilization of cervical spine. Implants feature lattice structures with near-elliptical pores (720-760μm minor axis; 1030-1060μm major axis) and central bone graft windows. Available in various heights, widths, and lordotic angles to match patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for anterior interbody fusion; requires concurrent use of autogenous/allogeneic bone graft and supplemental fixation. Implants provide structural support to facilitate spinal fusion, addressing disc degeneration and instability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic axial compression and torsion) and ASTM F2267 (subsidence). Expulsion testing also performed. Results demonstrate performance substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy (ASTM F3001). Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing. Design: Lattice structure with near-elliptical pores (720-760μm minor axis; 1030-1060μm major axis). Features: Bone graft window, various heights/widths/lordotic angles. Energy source: N/A (mechanical implant). Connectivity: N/A.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with cervical disc degeneration or spinal instability (confirmed by imaging) causing radiculopathy, myelopathy, or pain at C2-T1 levels, following at least six weeks 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 Karen Warden:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
