Intended Use

The Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device ("Peekplus Device") is indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one (1) or two (2) contiguous levels of the lumbosacral spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment. In addition, these patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s) and may have had up to a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Peekplus® devices are to be used with autogenous bone graft material and supplemental fixation.

Device Story

Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device is a spinal implant designed for intervertebral body fusion. Device consists of PEEK-OPTIMA® spacers with superior and inferior surface ridges to enhance fixation and prevent migration. Used in lumbosacral spine (L2-S1) to treat degenerative disc disease. Implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures; requires supplemental fixation and autogenous bone graft. Device provides structural support to the intervertebral space to facilitate fusion. Manufactured by Binder Biomedical, Inc. to identical specifications as the predicate device.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by identical design, materials, and manufacturing specifications to the predicate device. Performance evaluation included finite element analysis (FEA) to confirm that a minor surface smoothing manufacturing step did not negatively impact device integrity.

Technological Characteristics

Material: PEEK-OPTIMA®. Form factor: Spacers with surface ridges for fixation. Connectivity: None (standalone implant). Sterilization: Provided non-sterile. Manufacturing: Identical to predicate (K093015) with minor nanometer-scale surface smoothing process.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbosacral levels (L2-S1) with discogenic back pain, failing 6 months of non-operative treatment. May include patients with prior non-fusion surgery or Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Must be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation.

Regulatory Classification

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. O'Connell:

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.

spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Peekplus® devices are to be used with autogenous bone graft material and supplemental fixation.

## Technological Characteristics

The Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device is manufactured for Vallum Corporation by Binder Biomedical. Inc. and is identical to the Intervertebral Body Fusion Device cleared in K093015. The Peekplus® is comprised of a series of PEEK-OPTIMA® spacers shaped to accommodate autogenous bone graft and anatomical variation at different spinal levels. The Peekplus® also has a series of ridges on its superior and inferior surfaces to improve fixation and prevent migration. The Peekplus® is provided non-sterile.

### Performance Data

Additional performance testing was not conducted in this submission, however, finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted to confirm a new worst-case was not created.

# Basis of Substantial Equivalence

Both the Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device and the Binder Biomedical Inc.'s Intervertebral Body Fusion Device cleared in K093015 are intended for use in intervertebral body fusion. The Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device and the predicate device are indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one or two spinal levels from L2-S1. The Peekplus® and its predicate are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients who have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment, and in patients who may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis, retrolisthesis or previous non-fusion at the involved level(s). Thus, the indications for use for the Peekplus® are the same as those of the predicate and may be found substantially equivalent.

The Peekplus® Interbody Fusion Device and the predicate device share kev technological characteristics. The PeekPlus® is manufactured for Vallum Corporation by Binder Biomedical, Inc. the holder of the 510(k) for the predicate device. All devices are made to the same specification, with the same drawings and have the same labeling. One minor additional manufacturing processing step is performed which does not impact the substantial equivalence of the devices as the process smooths the surface layer of the implants at depths measured in nanometers.

Therefore. the Peekplus® and the Binder devices both have the same intended use, the same indications for use, the same technological characteristics and principles of operation. In addition, the Peekplus® has the identical materials as the Binder device manufactured by the same manufacturer as the Binder devices. Thus, the Peekplus® is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
