Intended Use
The Innovasis AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System is an intervertebral body fusion device intended to stabilize a spinal segment to promote fusion using bone graft, in order to restrict motion and decrease pain.
Device Story
The AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System is an intervertebral body fusion device used in anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures. The device consists of an additive-manufactured interbody fusion (IBF) implant, integrated fixation screws, and optional screw anti-backout locking clips. The implant features a large graft cavity and an open geometric Tetracell structure to facilitate bone throughgrowth when packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft. The device is implanted by a surgeon to stabilize spinal segments, restrict motion, and promote fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease. The system is designed to provide anatomical fit and implant stability. The optional locking clips are attached to the face of the IBF device post-implantation to prevent screw backout. The device is intended to reduce pain and improve patient outcomes by facilitating spinal fusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted per ASTM F2077 for Dynamic Axial Compression and Dynamic Compression Shear, alongside verification testing for bone screw pushout to ensure the optional locking clip does not negatively impact device performance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Ti-6Al-4V (ELI) per ASTM F3001 (implant) and ASTM F136 (screws/clips), and Hydroxyapatite (HA). Design: Additive manufactured IBF with Tetracell technology, tapered leading edge, and bi-convex profile. Fixation: Three converging bone screws with optional anti-backout locking clips. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1), defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration confirmed by history and radiography, having failed at least 6 months of non-operative treatment. May include up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Hyperlordotic implants (≥20°) require supplemental fixation (e.g., Innovasis Excella Spinal System). Implants <20° used with three internal fixation screws do not require 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.

Dear Marshall McCarty:
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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

Device Name AxTiHA® Stand-Alone ALIF System
#### Indications for Use (Describe)
The Innovasis AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System is an intervertebral body fusion device for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). 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. In addition, these patients may have up to a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels(s). These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via an anterior (ALIF) approach. Hyperlordotic implants (those with a lordotic angle greater than or equal to 20°) are indicated for use with a supplemental spinal fixation system such as the Innovasis® Excella® Spinal System. The AxTiHA Stand-Alone interbody implants with a lordotic angle less than 20°, when used with all three internal fixation screws, do not require use of supplemental fixation. The interior of the AxTiHA implant is intended to be packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graff.

#### 5. Device Description
The AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System is for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF). The IBF implants are an additive manufactured device comprised of Ti-6Al-4V (ELI) per ASTM F3001 and Hydroxyapatite (HA) and are available in multiple size options to facilitate a more precise anatomical fit. The IBF implants have a tapered leading edge which aids in implant insertion due to limited anatomical space, feature a bi-convex profile to match the anatomy, and include anti-migration features to ensure implant stability during the fusion process. The large graft cavity and open geometric Tetracell® Technology structure provide increased volume for autograft loading and bone throughgrowth. The IBF devices include integrated fixation by way of three converging bone screws and optional screw anti-backout locking clips manufactured from Ti-6AI-4V (ELI) per ASTM F136.
#### 6. Intended Use
The Innovasis AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System is an intervertebral body fusion device intended to stabilize a spinal segment to promote fusion using bone graft, in order to restrict motion and decrease pain.
#### 7. Technological Characteristics
The subject locking clip is an optional bone screw anti-backout mechanism machined from Ti-6Al-4V (ELI) and is intended to be connected to the face of the stand-alone ALIF IBF device after implantation.
#### 8. Performance Data
Performance testing has been conducted per ASTM F2077 for Dynamic Axial Compression and Dynamic Compression Shear, as well as verification testing for bone screw pushout to confirm there is no degradation in performance of the predicate device when the subject locking clip is applied.
#### 9. Conclusions
The subject AxTiHA Stand-Alone ALIF System with the added optional locking clip has been shown to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate device for its intended use.
