Intended Use

Ellys and Aurys Vertebral Body Replacements are vertebral body replacements for use in the lumbar and thoracic spine (T1-L5) to replace a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e. fracture). These are not stand-alone devices, ISOBAR Ø6.2 Hemispherical Screws with Offset Clamps and Ø5.5 Rods must be utilized to enhance the stability of the reconstruction in skeletally mature patients following full or partial corpectomy.

Device Story

Vertebral body replacement (VBR) implants; Ellys (kidney-shaped, paired or single) and Aurys (trapezoidal, single) designs. Used for full or partial corpectomy in lumbar/thoracic spine. Implants feature hollow compartments for bone graft packing; ridges on superior/inferior surfaces for endplate interface; metal wires for radiographic positioning. Fabricated from PEEK to match cortical bone modulus and reduce stress shielding. Fully radiolucent. Requires supplemental fixation (ISOBAR system) for stability. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing performed per ASTM F1717 standards to evaluate mechanical performance.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). Design: Kidney-shaped (Ellys) or trapezoidal (Aurys) spacers with hollow graft chambers and surface ridges. Radiographic markers: Metal wires. Standards: ASTM F1717. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring vertebral body replacement in the lumbar or thoracic spine (T1-L5) due to tumor or trauma (fracture). Must be used with supplemental fixation (ISOBAR system).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.

# Common name

Vertebral Body Replacement Device

# Classification name

Vertebral Body Replacement Device per 21 CFR section 888.3060

# Equivalent Device

The Ellys and Aurys VBR are similar in design, material fixation and indication and indications as the PENK Tertris® (Signus Medical, K031757), and Verte-Stack™ (Medtronic, K021791).

#### Device Description

The Ellys components are kidney shaped and are used in pairs for full corpectomy or individually when only a portion of the vertebral body is resected. The interior of the space for home graft. The implant is always implanted in the vertical position. These components are available in various heights (8mm-150mm) to accommodate the variability of patient size, anatomic variation, and the size of the vertebral body defect. The superior and inferior surfaces of these components have ridges to interface with the vertebral endplates to resist rotation and migration. The body has a multitude of holes to allow additional impaction of bone graft.

The Aurys components are trapezoidal in cross sccion and are used singly. The interior of these components have three hollow compartments that run the vertically and are provided for the placement of bone grafi. I ike the Aurys components are also available in various hcights (9mm-1.50mm) and have angled ends to match the angle of the vertebral endplates. The ends have ridges similar to the Ellys to interface with the vertebral endplates. There are also holes evenly spaced on the medial/lateral surfaces to complete bone graft impaction after insertion.

Both the l'llys and Aurys components are fabricated from pure poly(ether cther ketone) (PEIFA). This material closcly matches the modulus of elasticity of cortical bone, improving the biomechanical interface and reducing the stress shickling clicci. They are fully radio-translucent, which enables optimum follow-up with diagnostic imaging, as the interbody fusion progresses. Two metal wires at the opposite ends of the spacers allow radiological confirmation of the cage position post operatively.

# Intended Use

Ellys and Aurys Vertebral Hody Replacements are vertebral body replacements for use in the lumbar and thorace spine (T1-I 5) to replace a damaged, collapsed or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e. fracture). These are not stand-alone devices, ISOBAR (16.2 Hemispherical Screws with Offset Clamps and 05.5 Rods must be utilized to enhance the stability of the reconstruction in skeletally mature patients following full or partial corpectomy.

#### Summary Nonclinical Tests

Testing was performed per ASTM F1717.

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
