## 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 1 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 non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral body fusion device.

## Device Story

Intervertebral body fusion device; consists of stackable PEEK-OPTIMA wafers with 6% Barium Sulfate and tantalum markers; used to adjust implant height during surgery. Includes delivery device for implantation and expansion. Used in lumbar spine fusion procedures; requires autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Operates via mechanical expansion of stacked wafers to restore disc height. Benefits patient by stabilizing spinal segment and facilitating fusion in DDD cases.

## Clinical Evidence

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

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% Barium Sulfate and tantalum markers. Design: Stackable wafer system for height adjustment. Mechanical testing standards: ASTM F2077 (axial compression, compression shear), ASTM F2267 (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.

|--------------------|------------------|------------|
| StaXx ® IBL System | Spine Wave, Inc. | K131071    |

#### 5. Device Description

The StaXx® IBL System is an intervertebral body fusion device composed of wafers that are stacked into an expandable implant to adjust the height of the implant. The implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft material. The implant components are manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA with 6% Barium

Sulfate and tantalum markers. The system also includes a delivery device to both implant and expand the implant.

#### 6. 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 1 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 non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral body fusion device.

#### 7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The substantial equivalence of the StaXx® IBL System to the predicate is shown by similarity in intended use. indications for use, materials and performance.

#### 8. Performance Data

The modified implants were compared to constructs previously tested in static and dynamic axial compression (ASTM F2077), static and dynamic compression shear (ASTM F2077), and subsidence (ASTM F2267). An engineering rationale determined that the proposed implants do not represent a new worst case and were therefore determined to the substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

#### 9. Conclusion

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to the predicate, the StaXx® IBL. System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified in this submission, and does not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness
