## Intended Use

The Zyston Curve Interbody Spacer System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. The Zyston Curve Interbody Spacer System is designed for use with autograft to facilitate fusion and is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems cleared for use in the lumbar spine. The Zyston Curve Interbody Spacer System may also be implanted using the Accuvision System to provide the surgeon with a minimally invasive approach for posterior or posterolateral spinal surgery.

## Device Story

Zyston Curve Interbody Spacer System is a spinal implant for intervertebral body fusion; constructed of PEEK with titanium alloy threaded insert and tantalum radiographic markers. Used in lumbar spine (L2-S1) for DDD patients; requires autograft and supplemental fixation. Implanted by surgeons via open or minimally invasive approach (e.g., Accuvision System). Device provides structural support to facilitate fusion; mechanical performance validated via static/dynamic compression and subsidence testing. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segment in patients with discogenic back pain.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical performance validated through static axial compression, dynamic axial compression, static compression-shear, dynamic compression-shear, and subsidence testing in accordance with ASTM F-2077 and ASTM F-2267 standards.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Medical grade PEEK, titanium alloy (threaded insert), tantalum (radiographic markers). Design: Intervertebral body fusion spacer. Standards: ASTM F-2077 (static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic compression-shear, subsidence), ASTM F-2267 (subsidence).

## Regulatory 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 Ms. Crowe:

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. 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. You must
