Intended Use

The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is intended for use for anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI), that results in radiculopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 – T1. The Tranquil-CTM Interbody System is also to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.

Device Story

Cervical interbody fusion system; implants placed in cervical spine (C2-T1) to facilitate fusion. Used in conjunction with autogenous/allogeneic bone graft and supplemental fixation systems. Implants manufactured from titanium alloy; available in various angles, widths, heights, and lengths to match patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Device provides structural support to the intervertebral space to promote fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease or instability. Modifications include expanded size range and geometry adjustments to existing cleared designs.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; engineering analysis determined that modifications do not create a new worst-case condition, rendering previous performance testing applicable.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F3001. Interbody fusion implant. Provided non-sterile or sterile via gamma irradiation. Instruments provided clean/non-sterile for steam sterilization.

Indications for Use

Indicated for anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability resulting in radiculopathy and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2–T1. Must be used with supplemental cervical 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.

Dear Christine Scifert:

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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

#### Device Description:

The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is a cervical interbody fusion system. Implants are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F3001. The implants are offered in various angles, widths, heights, and lengths to meet patient anatomy for the cervical spine. Implants are provided non-sterile or

{4}------------------------------------------------

sterile via gamma irradiation. Instruments are provided clean and non-sterile for steam sterilization at the user's facility.

The purpose of this special 510(k) is to gain clearance for modifications to existing cervical implants and the size range offered.

# Indications for Use:

The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is intended for use for anterior cervical interbody fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical instability, as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI), that results in radiculopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 – T1. The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is also to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion.

# Substantial Equivalence:

The subject Nexus Spine Tranquil-C™ Interbody System is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:

# Primary Predicate:

- Nexus Spine, LLC, Tranquil™ Interbody System - K181483
# Additional Predicates:

- . Nexus Spine, LLC, Tranquil Interbody System – K170297
- . Spinal Elements, Ventana™ C - K222833
- Nexus Spine, LLC – Stable L and Stable C Interbody System – K232530

There are insignificant differences between the subject Tranquil-C™ Interbody System and the predicate Tranquil-C devices (K181483; K170297). Materials and indications of the subject device are identical to those of the predicate devices. There are slight geometry differences between the subject and predicate devices but the extended size range of the subject device falls within the size range of the previously cleared devices. Thus, it can be concluded that the subject does not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.

# Performance Testing:

Engineering analysis has determined that the subject changes do not create a new worst case condition. Therefore, previously conducted testing remains applicable an no additional performance testing is required.

# Conclusion:

The subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
