## Intended Use

The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. The supplemental internal fixation systems that may be used include titanium plate or rod systems (i.e., KANEDA™ SR, UNIVERSITY PLATE™, M-2 ANTERIOR PLATE™, ISOLA®, VSP®, MOSS®MIAMI, TIMX™, MONARCH™, EXPEDIUM™, VIPER™, PROFILE™).

## Device Story

X-MESH Expandable Cage System is a spinal vertebral body replacement device. It features three approach-specific shapes (anterior lateral, direct anterior, posterior) with rough, convex endplates and spikes for anchoring to resist migration and rotation. The cage includes diamond-pattern side slots and large graft windows for bone graft material. It is axially expandable and includes a setscrew for locking the expanded position. The device is implanted by a surgeon to replace diseased or fractured vertebral bodies in the thoracolumbar spine. It functions to restore biomechanical integrity of the spinal column and must be used in conjunction with supplemental internal fixation systems (e.g., titanium plates or rods).

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data were submitted to characterize the device's biomechanical integrity and functional performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Manufactured from ASTM F 136 implant grade titanium alloy. Features an axially expandable cage design with a setscrew locking mechanism, rough convex endplates with spikes, and graft windows. Designed for anterior, anterior-lateral, or posterior surgical approaches in the thoracolumbar spine.

## Regulatory 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.

Device Description: The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System comes in three approach-specific shapes for the anterior lateral, direct anterior and posterior approaches. Each cage comes fully assembled with rough, convex endplates containing spikes that help anchor the device in the vertebral endplates, and provide resistance to migration and rotation. This mesh cage contains diamond pattern, side slots and large graft windows for graft material. The cage can be expanded axially and has a setscrew for locking it in position.

- The X-MESH™ Expandable Cage System is indicated for Intended Use: use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body.

Dear Mr. Tufan:

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.
