The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels 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 device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation (e.g., ORIA Claris, ORIA Spinal Clip System, etc.) and with autograft to facilitate fusion. When used as a vertebral body replacement device, Choice Spine Lumbar Spacers are intended for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine, from T1 to L5, for the replacement of a collapsed or unstable vertebral body resulting from a tumor or traumatic injury. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation (e.g., ORIA Claris, ORIA Spinal Clip System, etc.) and with autograft to facilitate fusion. ## Device Story Spinal spacer system (Sabre, Shark, Hornet, Harpoon) provides structural support for intervertebral fusion or vertebral body replacement. Rectangular, hollow-center implants accommodate autograft bone to facilitate fusion. Used in thoracic and lumbar spine; requires supplemental fixation (e.g., ORIA Claris/Spinal Clip). Implanted by surgeons during spinal procedures. Tantalum pins provide radiographic visualization. Benefits include stabilization of collapsed/unstable vertebral bodies or discogenic back pain relief. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical performance evaluated via static axial compression, bending, torsion, and dynamic axial compression/torsion testing per ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267-04 standards. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: PEEK OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026) for spacers; 17-4 Stainless Steel (ASTM F899) for trials. Tantalum marking pins (ASTM F560). Rectangular, hollow-center geometry with varying heights/lengths/lordosis. Non-active, implantable device. ## 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 - K2M, LLC Aleutian Spacer System ([K051454](/device/K051454.md), [K130699](/device/K130699.md)) - Innovasis, Inc., Box Peek VBR System ([K062151](/device/K062151.md)) - Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System ([K073669](/device/K073669.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels 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 device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation systems such as (ORIA Claris, ORIA Spinal Clip System, etc.). When used as a vertebral body replacement device, Choice Spine lumbar Spacers are intended for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine, from T1 to L5 , for the replacement of a collapsed or unstable vertebral body resulting from a turnor or traumatic injury. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation (ORIA Claris, ORIA Spinal Clip System, etc.) and with autograft bone to facilitate fusion. {1}------------------------------------------------ K140142 page 2 of 2 Device Descriptions: The 9mm width spacer system (SABRE, SHARK, HORNET, HARPOON) has a rectangular shape, a hollow center for placement of autograft bone, and a smooth anterior surface (nose). It is available in a variety of heights, length, and lordosis combinations with and without medial-lateral curvature to accommodate many different anatomic requirements. #### Materials: The 9mm width spacers are manufactured from PEEK OPTIMA LT1(Invibio) per ASTM F2026. The spacer includes tantalum marking pins per ASTM F560 for radiographic assistance. These technological characteristics and materials are identical to the predicate devices. The 9mm width trials are manufactured from 17-4 Stainless Steel per ASTM F899 and are biocompatible. ### Predicate Device(s): K2M, LLC Aleutian Spacer System K051454, K130699 Innovasis, Inc., Box Peek VBR System K062151 Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System, K073669 #### Performance Standards: Performance testing was completed by an independent laboratory following ASTM F2077-11 and ASTM F2267-04. The tests included static axial compression bending, static torsion, dynamic axial compression bending and dynamic torsion testing. The test methods and results are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices. #### Conclusion: The 9 mm wide spacer has the same technological characteristics, intended use, comparable performance data, and is manufactured using the same processes as the predicate devices. The sterilization method and parameters remain the same. In conclusion, the 9 mm wide devices are substantially equivalent to the listed predicates and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Document Control Center - WO66-G609 Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002 July 16, 2014 Choice Spine, LP Ms. Kim Finch Manager of Regulatory Affairs 400 Erin Drive Knoxville, Tennessee 37919 Re: K140142 Trade/Device Name: Choice Spine Lumbar Spacer System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3080 Regulation Name: Intervertebral body fusion device Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: MAX, MQP Dated: June 13, 2014 Received: June 16, 2014 Dear Ms. Finch: 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).
