## Intended Use

Intervertebral Body Fusion The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The System is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The CoRoent Titanium System is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. Partial Vertebral Body Replacement The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System may also be used as a partial vertebral body replacement device indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor or fracture, to restore height of a collapsed vertebral body, and to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Allograft or autograft material may be used at the surgeon's discretion.

## Device Story

NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System comprises titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) spinal implants; designed for intervertebral body fusion or partial vertebral body replacement. Implants available in various sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. Used in conjunction with FDA-cleared supplemental internal spinal fixation systems; requires autogenous bone graft (fusion) or allograft/autograft (replacement). Surgeon implants device during spinal surgery to restore vertebral height, facilitate fusion, or decompress neural tissues. Benefits include stabilization of diseased/damaged spinal segments and restoration of structural integrity. Performance validated via Finite Element Analysis (FEA) covering axial compression, compression shear, torsion, and subsidence.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance equivalence established via Finite Element Analysis (FEA) comparing subject device to predicate across axial compression, compression shear, torsion, and subsidence metrics.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) per ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3. Form factor: Spinal implants in various sizes for lumbar/thoracolumbar application. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

## 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.

#### E. Intended Use

## Intervertebral Body Fusion

The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The System is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The CoRoent Titanium System is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

# Partial Vertebral Body Replacement

The NuVasive CoRoent Titanium System may also be used as a partial vertebral body replacement device indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1 to L5) to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor or fracture, to restore height of a collapsed vertebral body, and to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Allograft or autograft material may be used at the surgeon's discretion.

#### F. Technological Characteristics

As was established in this submission, the subject CoRoent Titanium System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices cleared by the FDA for commercial distribution in the United States. The subject device was shown to be substantially equivalent and have the same technological characteristics to its predicate devices through comparison in areas including design, intended use, material composition, and function.

#### G. Performance Data

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to demonstrate that the subject CoRoent Titanium System is substantially equivalent to other predicate devices for the following:

- Axial Compression ●
- Compression Shear ●
- Torsion . ●
- Subsidence .

The results demonstrate that the subject CoRoent Titanium System presents no new worstcase for performance testing, and the subject device was therefore found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate.

### H. Conclusions

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the subject CoRoent Titanium System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, and safe and effective for its intended use.

Dear Ms. Bruschi:

We have reviewed vour 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.
