## Intended Use

The ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages system is used to maintain disc space distraction and structural stability until fusion occurs in skeletally mature adults requiring lumbar interbody fusion.

## Device Story

Interbody fusion cages designed to maintain disc space distraction and structural stability; facilitate spinal fusion. Device families include Erriva ELIF/TLIF, Gemitra TLIF, PLIF, and ALIF cages. Features bone graft windows, ridges/teeth for migration resistance, and x-ray markers. Implanted by surgeons via anterior, posterior, or lateral approaches; requires supplemental fixation. Used in clinical settings for patients with degenerative disc disease. Provides mechanical support to the intervertebral space to promote bone fusion.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Equivalence established via bench testing including static and dynamic compression (ASTM F2077), subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEKEKK resin (ASTM F1876), carbon fiber filaments, gold (ASTM B562). Form factor: Multiple sizes/configurations (ELIF, TLIF, PLIF, ALIF) with bone graft windows and x-ray markers. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile for single use.

## 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.

Dear Mr. Webb:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

{1}------------------------------------------------

devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products, and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (http://www.fda.gov/DICE) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).

# Indications for Use

510(k) Number (if known) K181963

Device Name ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages

#### Indications for Use (Describe)

The ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages system is indicated for use as an intervertebral body fusion device in skettally mature patients at one or two contiguous levels of the sacrolumbar spine (L2-S1) to facilitate fusion in case of degenerative disc disease (DDD) defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages are placed via an anterior, posterior or lateral approach using autogenous bone graft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages are to be used with supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. Patients should have at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be treated with the device.

DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or<br>retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The ostaPek Interbody Fusion Cages are placed via<br>an anterior, posterior or lateral approach using autogenous bone graft and/or allograft<br>comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The ostaPek Interbody<br>Fusion Cages are to be used with supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the<br>lumbar spine. Patients should have at least six months of non-operative treatment prior<br>to surgery. Patients with previous non-fusion spinal surgery at involved level may be<br>treated with the device. |
