Intended Use
The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device, including those with or without micro- and nano-roughened surface textured features, is indicated for use as an intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD - defined by discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Additionally, the Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System can be used with patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformities as an adjunct to fusion. When used in patients as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity conditional supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) must be used. These patients should be skeletally mature and have undergone 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. Implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine using autogenous bone graft and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate. These implants may be implanted via a variety of open or minimally invasive anterior or oblique approach. The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device may be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with supplemental fixation. When used as a stand-alone device, the Catalyfi™ LS Expandable Interbody System device is intended to be used with 4 titanium alloy screws. If the physician chooses to use less than 4 or none of the provided screws, additional supplemental fixation in the lumbar spine must be used to augment stability. Implants with lordosis angles greater than 20° are intended to be used with 4 screws and supplemental fixation
Device Story
Expandable titanium alloy interbody device; surgically implanted between lumbar/lumbosacral vertebral bodies to provide support and correction during fusion. Features central cavity for packing with autogenous/allograft bone graft. Incorporates Titan nanoLOCK™ surface technology (micro/nano-roughened) to improve bone fixation. Implanted via open or minimally invasive anterior/oblique approaches. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Provides structural support to facilitate spinal fusion; benefits patients by stabilizing vertebral segments and correcting deformity. Can be used as stand-alone (with 4 titanium screws) or with supplemental fixation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performed static/dynamic compression (ASTM F2077-18), compression shear (ASTM F2077-18), subsidence (ASTM F2267-04(2018)), expulsion testing, wear debris (ASTM F1877), and MRI safety evaluation (ASTM 2503-20, F2182-19e, F2052-21, F2213-17, F2219-07).
Technological Characteristics
Titanium alloy expandable interbody cage. Features Titan nanoLOCK™ surface technology (nano-scale textured features). Sterile. Dimensions vary by patient anatomy. Mechanical stabilization via expansion mechanism. No software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1) or multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformities as an adjunct to fusion. Requires 6 months of prior 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.

| Indications for Use | The Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System device,<br>including those with or without micro- and nano-roughened<br>surface textured features, is indicated for use as an<br>intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients<br>with degenerative disc disease (DDD - defined by discogenic<br>back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient<br>history and radiographic studies) at one or two contiguous<br>levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). Additionally, the<br>Catalyft™ LS Expandable Interbody System can be used with<br>patients diagnosed with multilevel degenerative scoliosis and<br>sagittal deformities as an adjunct to fusion. When used in<br>patients as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with<br>multilevel degenerative scoliosis and sagittal deformity<br>conditions, additional supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior<br>fixation) must be used.

If the<br>physician chooses to use less than 4 or none of the provided<br>screws, additional supplemental fixation in the lumbar spine<br>must be used to augment stability. Implants with lordosis<br>angles greater than 20° are intended to be used with 4 screws<br>and supplemental fixation. |
| Comparison of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics with<br>the Predicate Devices | The subject device has the same or similar fundamental scientific<br>technology, indications for use, design, material, and levels of<br>attachment as the predicate devices. The subject device and<br>predicates are intended for stabilization use and to promote bone<br>fusion during the normal healing process following surgical<br>correction of disorders of the spine.<br>The subject interbody implant has an identical expansion<br>mechanism and size range as that of the primary predicate. |
| | The only difference between the subject device and the primary<br>predicate device is that the CatalyftTM LS nanoLOCKTM interbody<br>has Titan nanoLOCKTM Surface Technology. |
| Performance Data | The subject CatalyftTM LS nanoLOCKTM implants underwent the<br>following verification tests:<br>Static and Dynamic Compression per ASTM F2077-18 Static and Dynamic Compression Shear per ASTM F2077-<br>18 Subsidence per ASTM F2267-04(2018) Expulsion testing Wear Debris per ASTM F1877 (2016) MRI Safety Evaluation per ASTM 2503-20, ASTM<br>F2182-19e, ASTM 2052-21, F2213-17, F2219-07 |
| Conclusion | Based on the supporting evidence provided, Medtronic believes the<br>subject devices are substantially equivalent to the below predicates.<br>Predicate 1 (Primary Predicate): CatalyftTM LS Expandable<br>Interbody System (K212653, S.E. 11/19/2021)<br>Predicate 2: Anteralign LSTM Interbody System with Titan<br>nanoLOCKTM Surface Technology (K214010, S.E. 04/12/2022)<br>Predicate 3: CrescentTM PEEK (K094025, S.E. 04/26/2010;<br>K133216, S.E. 11/22/2013; K171031, S.E. 07/06/2017)<br>Predicate 4: ClydesdaleTM Spinal System (K100175, S.E.<br>06/02/2010; K132897, S.E. 12/11/2013; K133577, 09/26/2014)<br>Predicate 5: ElevateTM Spinal System (K142559, S.E. 06/09/2015) |
