Intended Use
The KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion 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-S1. 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). KMTI S141 System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should be skeletally mature and have at least six months of non-operative treatment. The KMTI S141 System must be used with supplemental fixation cleared by FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Story
Intervertebral body fusion system consisting of cages inserted between lumbar/lumbosacral vertebral bodies; provides structural support/correction during fusion. Implants include Tesera-P, Tesera-T, PEEK Straight TLIF, and PEEK TLIF families. Titanium alloy implants feature porous structure for osseous integration; PEEK implants feature teeth for migration prevention and tantalum markers for radiographic visualization. Hollow geometry allows packing with autogenous bone graft. Used in open or minimally invasive surgical approaches by orthopedic/neurosurgeons. Implants provide mechanical stability to facilitate fusion; benefit includes stabilization of degenerated spinal segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing was conducted to demonstrate that modifications provide adequate and substantially equivalent mechanical strength compared to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Ti-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F2924), PEEK (ASTM F2026), Tantalum (ASTM F560). Design: Hollow cages with porous titanium structures or PEEK teeth. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires six months of failed non-operative treatment; must be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental lumbar 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.

Dear Nathan Wright:
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.

# 510(K) SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:
The Kyocera Medical Technologies, Inc. (KMTI) KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System (also called S141 LIF System) consists of cages which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion. The S141 LIF System includes the Tesera-P, Tesera-T, PEEK Straight TLIF, and PEEK TLIF families. The implants are offered in additively manufactured Titanium Alloy (Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium) per ASTM F2924 and PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) per ASTM F2026.This submission updates the subject titanium alloy material specifications and standards, modifies the additive printing process, and expands the for the previously cleared S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System.
The KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System is comprised of a variety of implant sizes to accommodate various patient anatomy and pathology, and associated instrumentation. The implants may be inserted via an open or minimally invasive approach. The Tesera P and PEEK PLIF use a posterior approach. The PEEK Straight TLIF, Tesera ST, and Tesera T use an oblique approach. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces of the Titanium Alloy implant consist of Tesera porous titanium structure to facilitate osseous integration. The superior and inferior surfaces of the S141 PEEK devices have "teeth" to help prevent the device from migration after surgically positioned. Additionally, the S141 PEEK devices contain tantalum markers (per ASTM F560) to assist the surgeon with proper placement of the device. The implants are provided terminally sterilized via gamma irradiation prior to end-user receipt.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
{4}------------------------------------------------
The KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion 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-S1.
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). KMTI S141 System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should be skeletally mature and have at least six months of non-operative treatment. The KMTI S141 System must be used with supplemental fixation cleared by FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
The indications for use for the KMTI LIF System are identical to those of the primary predicate.
## TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The purpose of this system is to expand the product line of the KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System with additional sizes offered and to modify the material and manufacturing method for the KMTI S141 devices which were previously cleared. The KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System is made from Ti-6A1-4V ELI per ASTM F136 or Ti-6Al-4V per F2924 or from PEEK per ASTM F2026 with tantalum per ASTM F560. The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Specifically the following characteristics are identical between the subject and predicates:

{5}------------------------------------------------
S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System provide adequate and substantially equivalent mechanical strength for their intended use.
### CONCLUSION
The subject modified KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System is very similar to previously cleared Renovis S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System. The subject KMTI S141 Lumbar Interbody Fusion System has similar intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The modifications raise no new types of safety or effectiveness questions. The overall technology characteristics and mechanical performance data lead to the conclusion that the KMTI S141 Lumbar Fusion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
