The BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are also to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. BMD Titanium PLIF GW, TLIF GW, ALIF, and LLIF implants in combination with supplemental fixation are indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2 – S1 whose condition requires the use of interbody fusion. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). Patients must be skeletally mature. Patients should have received 6 months of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. ## Device Story BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion System consists of additively manufactured (ADM) interbody fusion implants; designed for cervical (ACIF) and lumbar (PLIF, TLIF, ALIF, LLIF) spinal stabilization. Implants feature porous structures (500-700 micron pores) to facilitate bone ingrowth and integral lumens for bone graft containment. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat degenerative disc disease and spinal instability; requires supplemental internal fixation. Implants provide structural support and initial stability via roughened micro/nano-scale surface topography. Benefits include restoration of disc height and facilitation of spinal fusion in skeletally mature patients. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data. Mechanical performance validated via static and fatigue compression, shear, and torsion (ASTM F2077-22), subsidence (ASTM F2267-24), and expulsion testing. ADM process validated for chemistry, strength, and cleanliness. Endotoxin testing performed per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2019; met acceptance criteria (<20 EUs). ## Technological Characteristics Material: Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy (ASTM F136, F3001, F3302).

BMD Spinal Fusion System implants are intended to be used with bone graft material placed within the void spaces of the implant and with supplemental internal fixation devices that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine and cervical spine. BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion System implants are additively manufactured (ADM) by direct metal laser sintering of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ELI powder with chemical composition and mechanical properties conforming to ASTM F136, ASTM F3001, and ASTM F3302. The ADM implants possess a microscopic roughened surface with micro and nano- scale features on the surfaces, including the superior, inferior, and peripheral surfaces of the internal porous structure. These surface characteristics contribute to initial stability and resistance to expulsion. The pore size of the ADM structure is 500 to 700 microns with 70 to 80% porosity. BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are designed for anterior cervical fusion and provided in heights 4 to 10mm in 1 mm increments, lengths 12 to 16 mm, and widths 14 to 18 mm, with 0, 5, 10 degrees lordosis options. ACIF GW implants possess topographical features that resist expulsion forces. BMD Titanium PLIF GW implants are designed for posterior stabilization of the lumbar spine. PLIF GW implants include an integral lumen for graft material and a contoured design to facilitate insertion. PLIF GW implants have heights 9 to 12 mm, lengths 20 to 33 mm, and widths 7 to 17 mm in 1 mm increments, with 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 degrees lordosis options. BMD Titanium TLIF GW implants are designed for posterior stabilization of the lumbar spine. TLIF GW implants are banana-shaped with a contoured design to facilitate insertion and an integral lumen for graft material. TLIF GW implants range have heights of 7 to 17mm in 1 mm increments, lengths 26 to 34 mm, and widths 10 to 12 mm, with 0, 4, 8, and 12 degrees lordosis options. BMD Titanium ALIF implants are designed for anterior stabilization of the lumbar spine. ALIF implants are contoured to facilitate insertion. ALIF implants range in heights 9 to 19 mm in 2 mm increments, lengths of 24 to 30 mm, widths 32 to 40 mm, with 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees of lordosis options. BMD Titanium LLIF implants are designed for the oblique and lateral approach to the lumbar spine. LLIF implants have a contoured forward edge to facilitate insertion. LLIF implants range in LLIF implants range in heights 7 to 17 mm in 2 mm increments, lengths of 40 to 60 mm, and widths of 18 to 22 mm, with 0, 6 and 12 degrees lordosis options. ## Intended Use/Indications for Use 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are intervertebral body fusion devices 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, myelopathy, and/or pain at multiple contiguous levels from C2 - T1. The BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are also to be used with supplemental fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the cervical spine. The BMD Titanium ACIF GW implants are designed for use with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. BMD Titanium PLIF GW, TLIF GW, ALIF, and LLIF implants in combination with supplemental fixation are indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2 - S1 whose condition requires the use of interbody fusion. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). Patients must be skeletally mature. Patients should have received 6 months of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. ## Indications for Use Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) The BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion System has the same indications for use as the primary predicate device, EIT Cellular Titanium Cervical and Lumbar Cages (K201605). ## Technological Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) The BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion System has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, EIT Cellular Titanium Cervical and Lumbar Cages (K201605). Both the subject and predicate devices are produced using additive manufacturing and have similar design in terms of shape, height, depth/length, angle, porosity, and amount and location of void-space / lumens integral to the implant for containment of bone graft material. The predicate and subject devices both provide graft-windows (e.g. lumens; hollow geometry within the implant) that can be packed with bone graft material. The subject and predicate devices are made of the same material, namely medical additively manufactured (ADM) Ti6Al4V ELI alloy per ASTM F3001. Also similar to the predicate device, the subject BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion Implants possess a microscopic roughened surface with micro and nano-scale features that are an inherent artifact of the ADM process. The micro and nano features are found on all surfaces of the subject device implants, including the superior, inferior, and peripheral surfaces, as well as each member of the internal structure that comprises the implants. The BMD Titanium Implants (cervical: ACIF GW and lumbar: TLIF GW, PLIF GW, ALIF, LLIF) are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate EIT device with respect to indications for use and technological characteristics (design, size range, function, materials, performance, intended use). ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b) Mechanical testing of the subject cervical spinal cage fusion device was conducted by CENIC Test Laboratory which is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and ilac-MRA requirements. Mechanical testing was performed on worst case cervical and lumbar (PLIF) devices. To identify K253894 Page 2 of 3 {6} worst case devices for mechanical testing, engineering analyses were performed on the cervical and lumbar devices. The tests performed on the worst-case cervical and PLIF devices were: - Static Compression ASTM F2077-22 - Fatigue Compression ASTM F2077-22 - Static Shear ASTM F2077-22 - Fatigue Shear ASTM F2077-22 - Static Torsion ASTM F2077-22 - Fatigue Torsion ASTM F2077-22 - Subsidence ASTM F2267-24 - Expulsion Industry standardized test method Performance characteristics of the devices were assessed per the FDA Guidance Document entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" issued on June 12, 2007. The acceptance criteria for the cervical implants were derived from reference 1: "Jonathan H Peck, David C Sing, Srinidhi Nagaraja, Deepa G Peck, Jeffrey C Lotz, Anton E Dmitriev, Mechanical performance of cervical intervertebral body fusion devices: A systematic analysis of data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, J Biomech. 2017 Mar 21;54:26-32. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.01.032. The acceptance criteria for the lumbar implants were derived from reference 2: "Jonathan H. Peck, Katherine D. Kavlock, Brent L. Showalter, Brittany M. Ferrell, Deepa G. Peck, Anton E. Dmitriev, Mechanical performance of lumbar intervertebral body fusion devices: An analysis of data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, Journal of Biomechanics 78 (2018) 87-93". The additive manufacturing (ADM) process for the subject devices was validated for chemistry, strength, dimensions of devices, cleanliness, and powder reuse. ADM Manufacturing Process validation was performed for Global Biomedica's two EOS ADM Machines. The work was divided into installation, operational, and production qualifications (IQ, OQ, PQ). The powder reuse was validated per industry standards, including ASTM F3001, ISO 13320 / ASTM B822 / ASTM B214, ASTM B212, ISO 3369, ISO/ASTM S2928:2024, MDR (EU 2017/745), FDA (21 CFR 820), Health Canada (SOR/98-282), ANVISA RDC 665/2022, and ISO 13485. Cleaning and passivation of subject implant devices is compliant with ASTM F86-21. Cleanliness and particulate analysis was conducted in accordance with ASTM F1877 and regulatory expectations for metallic implantable medical devices under FDA, Health Canada, ANVISA, and MDR (EU) jurisdictions. MRI characteristics of the subject device were tested to establish labeling for MRI Safety. Subject devices were tested for endotoxins using the LAL test per ISO 11737-3 as amended and ANSI_AAMI ST72:2019 Bacterial Endotoxins. Acceptance criterion was met (< of 20 EUs). The subject device was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to predicate device with respect to indications for use, design, materials, function, manufacturing, and performance testing relative to the acceptance criteria per FDA guidance documents and ASTM standards F2077 and F2267. Bacterial endotoxin testing was performed as part of the sterilization validation and met acceptance criteria. The subject BMD Titanium Spinal Fusion Implants are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices with respect to its indications for use, design, function, materials, and performance.
