## Intended Use

The ChoiceSpine Harrier-SATM Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. This 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. This device is designed to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The ChoiceSpine Harrier-SATM Lumbar Interbody System is a stand-alone device intended to be used with four bone screws. Supplemental fixation, cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbosacral spine, must be used with implants ≥20°. Supplemental fixation must also be used whenever fewer than four bone screws are used.

## Device Story

Lumbar interbody fusion system; stand-alone device for L2-S1 stabilization. Implant spacer components (PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced or Ti-6Al-4V ELI Titanium) inserted into intervertebral space; secured with four bone screws. Designed for use with autogenous or allogenic bone graft. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to treat degenerative disc disease and Grade I spondylolisthesis. Modification allows optional use of anterior coverplate components. Provides mechanical stability to facilitate spinal fusion; benefits patients by reducing back pain associated with discogenic degeneration.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performed static/dynamic compression and compression shear per ASTM F2077, and subsidence per ASTM E2267 to demonstrate mechanical equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced, Ti-6Al-4V ELI Titanium (ASTM F3001), Tantalum markers (ASTM F560), 455/17-4/465 SS (ASTM A564) for instruments. Stand-alone interbody fusion system with bone screws. Sterilization: Steam sterilization for non-sterile components; others provided sterile.

## 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 Kim 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). 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

July 5, 2019

Summary of technological characterstics of the subject and predicate(s):

The implants proposed in this submission are similar to the predicate devices in: principle of operation, material, indications for use, biocompatibility, manufacturing and post-processing steps, stabilization method, sterilization method, anatomic location and approach, product code and classification. The indications for use were compared, the difference includes the subject device is designed for use without an accompanying coverplate. However, this embodiment is similar to the additional predicate in omitting coverplate utilization. The subject device is identical to the ChoiceSpine Harrier-SA predicate aside from the required utilization of a coverplate.

Mechanical testing was conducted to prove that the Choice Spine HARRIER-SA™ Lumbar Interbody System design is equivalent when compared to the predicate devices. Dynamic Compression Shear testing of the worst-case implant construct is the standardized test that was determined to most aggressively challenge the functional performance of the device without the additional coverplate. Testing results confirm that utilization of the Harrier SA interbody and screws with or without usage of the coverplate results in equivalent functional performance. After considering all similarities and differences to the predicate devices, the subject device has shown to be equivalent when compared to the predicate devices in safety, effectiveness, and performance.

- The implants included in this submission are equivalent to the ChoiceSpine Conclusion: Harrier-SA Lumbar Interbody System (K180519, primary predicate), Titan Spine Endoskeleton®TAS Interbody Fusion Device / Endoskeleton® TAS Hyperlordotic Interbody Fusion Device (K163269, additional predicate).
