Intended Use
When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Genesys Spine Apache™ Interbody Fusion System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-TI disc. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The device system is designed for use with supplemental fixation (i.e. cleared cervical plating system) and with autograft to facilitate fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Story
Cervical interbody fusion system; implanted via anterior approach to treat degenerative disc disease. Device consists of PEEK interbody spacers with tantalum markers for radiographic visualization. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate spinal fusion; requires concurrent use of supplemental cervical plating system and autograft. System configurations accommodate varying patient anatomy. Device provides structural support to disc space during fusion process; benefits patient by stabilizing spinal segment and alleviating radicular symptoms associated with disc degeneration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes expulsion testing, cross-sectional area calculations, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to demonstrate mechanical equivalence to predicate systems.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK Optima LT1, ASTM F2026) and tantalum markers (ASTM F560). Design: Interbody fusion cage configurations for anterior cervical approach. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine (C2-C3 to C7-T1) with radicular symptoms. Requires failure of at least 6 weeks of non-operative treatment. Must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft.
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. 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.

Dear Mr. Lamb:
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. 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. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

# TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Genesys Spine Apache™ Cervical Interbody Fusion System is comprised of various device configurations designed to accommodate patient anatomy and provide the surgeon with different surgical approach options.
The Genesys Spine Interbody Fusion System implant components are made of polyether ether ketone (Invibio PEEK Optima LT1) that conforms to ASTM F2026. Additionally, the devices contain tantalum markers (ASTM F560) to assist the surgeon with proper placement of the device. The additional implant offering being proposed has similar technological characteristics and identical indications as the currently cleared product line.
# PERFORMANCE DATA
Expulsion testing was conducted. Cross-Sectional Area calculations, FEA analysis, and projected area calculations show that a new worst-case device was not created. This Finite Element analysis tool was validated by the predicate system's mechanical test data and is sufficient to allow for a substantial equivalence designation for the subject device. In addition, the length, width, and height of the Cervical Interbody Fusion System implants fall within the scope of predicate devices already cleared.
# CONCLUSION
The overall technology characteristics and mechanical performance data lead to the conclusion that Genesys Spine Apache™ Cervical Interbody Fusion System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
