## Intended Use

The Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System is intended for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in skeletally mature patients who have had six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is to be used with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion.

## Device Story

Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System consists of oval-shaped PEEK spacers with hollow centers for bone graft placement. Superior and inferior surfaces feature angled ridges (teeth) to resist migration. Available in various heights and lordotic angles to match patient anatomy. Used by surgeons in anterior cervical spine procedures to facilitate fusion at one level. Device acts as a structural support for autograft; requires supplemental fixation. Benefits include stabilization of the intervertebral space to promote fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA polymer (ASTM F2026) and tantalum radiopaque markers (ASTM F560). Design: Oval-shaped spacer with hollow center and angled surface ridges. Energy source: None (passive implant).

## 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.

### Trade Name:

Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System

### Common Name:

Intervertebral body (or interbody) fusion device

### Classification & Name:

888.3080 - Intervertebral Fusion Device with Bone Graft, Cervical

# Device Product Code:

ODP

### Device Description:

The Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System implants ("spacers") have a basic oval shape with a hollow center for placement of bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces have angled ridges, or "teeth," for resisting migration. The spacers are available in an assortment of heights and in multiple angles of lordosis to accommodate different anatomic requirements.

#### Intended Use:

The Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System is intended for anterior cervical spine intervertebral body fusion at one level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) in skeletally mature patients who have had six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is to be used with supplemental fixation and with autograft to facilitate fusion.

# 510(k) Summary (continued)

### Materials:

The Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacers are manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA polymer from Invibio ) as described by ASTM F2026. Integral radiopaque markers are manufactured from tantalum as described by ASTM F560.

### Substantial Equivalence:

Documentation was provided that demonstrates the Choice Spine Cervical Interbody Spacer System to be substantially equivalent to previously cleared device systems. The substantial equivalence is based upon equivalence in intended use, indications, anatomic location, material, method of stabilization, and performance.

Dear Mr. Hawkins:

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.
