## Intended Use

The StaXx® IBL System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-L5. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The StaXx® IBL System is to be used with autogenous bone graft and with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of nonoperative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral body fusion device.

## Device Story

StaXx® IBL System is an expandable intervertebral body fusion device; composed of stackable wafers; used for lumbar spinal fusion. Implant manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% Barium Sulfate and tantalum markers. System includes delivery device for implantation and expansion. Used in surgical setting by physicians. Requires autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Provides structural support to intervertebral space to facilitate fusion; benefits patients with discogenic back pain.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical performance demonstrated via static and dynamic axial compression (ASTM F2077), static and dynamic compression shear (ASTM F2077), and subsidence testing (ASTM F2267).

## Technological Characteristics

Intervertebral body fusion device; stackable wafer design; expandable. Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% Barium Sulfate and tantalum markers. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077 and ASTM F2267. Requires supplemental fixation and autogenous bone graft.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

- StaXx® IB System ([K123461](/device/K123461.md))
- Patriot® Spacer ([K072970](/device/K072970.md))
