Intended Use

The Phusion Metal Cervical Cage is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The Phusion Metal Cervical Cage is intended for use at one level in the cervical spine, from C3 to C7, for the treatment of cervical disc disease (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The Phusion Metal Cervical Cage is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. Devices are intended to be implanted via an open, anterior approach and used with autogenous bone and supplemental fixation, such as an anterior plating system.

Device Story

The Phusion Metal Cervical Cage is an intervertebral body fusion device designed as a disc spacer to hold autogenous bone graft; it promotes spinal fusion. The device is anatomically shaped, manufactured from porous titanium-nickel (Ti-Ni) intermetallic material, and features a pattern of teeth on superior/inferior surfaces to enhance stability. It is implanted by a surgeon via an open, anterior approach and used in conjunction with supplemental fixation, such as an anterior plating system. The device is available in various heights and a 7° lordotic configuration to accommodate patient anatomy. By providing a stable scaffold for bone ingrowth, the cage facilitates fusion, potentially alleviating neck pain associated with discogenic disease.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing included static/dynamic compression, shear, and torsion (ASTM F2077-11), subsidence (ASTM F2267-04), expulsion (ASTM draft F-04.25.02.02), and wear debris (ASTM F1714-96). Biocompatibility followed ISO 10993. An ovine lumbar fusion model (n=8) compared the device to PEEK controls over 6 months. Results showed 100% fusion rate at 6 months, statistically equivalent biomechanical motion, and significantly higher bone contact percentage for the Ti-Ni device (56.09% vs 27.31% at 6 months). Histopathology, blood work, and serum biochemistry showed no abnormal nickel levels.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Porous Titanium-Nickel (Ti-Ni) intermetallic. Porosity: 63%. Compressive elastic modulus: 1.0 GPa. Design: Anatomically shaped, 7° lordosis, heights 5-10 mm. Standards: ASTM F2077-11, F2267-04, F1714-96, ISO 10993. Single-use, permanent implant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration) at one level (C3-C7) after six weeks of failed non-operative treatment.

### G. PERFORMANCE DATA

Characterization of Phusion Metal Cervical Cage devices was performed per the FDA Guidance Document entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device" issued on June 12, 2007. Biomechanical evaluation of the devices was performed per ASTM standards F2077-11, F2267-04, F1714-96, and draft standard F-04.25.02.02. Static and dynamic compressive, shear, and torsion strength of the worst-case devices were measured per ASTM F2077-11. The subsidence characteristics of the worst case device were measured per ASTM F2267-04. Static expulsion testing of the worst-case device for the Phusion Metal Cage and a competitive PEEK device were measured and compared per ASTM draft standard F-04.25.02.02. Collection and characterization of wear debris from dynamic testing was characterized per applicable sections of ASTM F1714-96. Biocompatibility testing of the porous Ti-Ni intermetallic material was performed per ISO 10993 standards.

Bone apposition, ingrowth, spinal fusion, large organs, blood, and serum were evaluated in an ovine model of lumbar spinal fusion of 2 non-contiguous levels (L2-L3 and L4-L5; n = 8 sheep), and sacrifice time points of 4 and 6 months. Blood analysis and serum biochemistry were performed pre-operatively, post-operatively, and weekly up to 6 weeks and monthly thereafter (N=88 total blood samples) through 6 months. The study was performed with commercially available control devices of similar design fabricated from Zeniva PEEK material; both the control and subject devices were implanted with autograft bone harvested from the illac crest. The ovine study was performed per Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) by the Preclinical Surgical Research Laboratory, Colorado State University, USA.

The results of the biomechanical tests showed to Phusion Metal Cages to meet or exceed the strength requirements for cervical spinal devices, and to possess subsidence and expulsion characteristics typical of spinal fusion devices fabricated from permanent polymer or metallic materials. ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing showed the porous Ti-Ni intermetallic Phusion Metal material to be biocompatible and elicit no adverse reactions. Histology, micro-CT, in-life radiography and CT, and biomechanical evaluation of Phusion Metal Cervical Cage devices in the ovine model showed no evidence of adverse tissue reaction, no evidence of migration or pseudoarthrosis, normal bone and soft tissue at the fusion sites, 100% rate of fusion at 6 months (4 sheep, 2 devices/sheep), statistically equivalent fusion at 6 months to the control devices based on bone histology and biomechanical motion, and a statistically significant, higher percentage of bone contact of the superior and inferior surfaces of the devices at 4 and 6 months for the Phusion Metal devices as compared to the PEEK control devices (23.90% vs. 9.94% at 4 months and 56.09% vs. 27.31% at 6 months). Histopathology of the major organs, blood work, ICP-MS of blood, and serum biochemistry showed normal levels of nickel (Ni) with respect to the control PEEK devices and the scientific literature; there was no evidence of abnormal nickel levels for all tissue, blood, and serum samples evaluated in the ovine study.

### H. CONCLUSION

The PorOsteon Phusion Metal Cervical Cage system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Zimmer Trabecular Metal Fusion Device.
