Intended Use

The Solitaire™ and Solitaire™ PEEK Anterior Spinal System is designed for use with autograft and is indicated for stand-alone intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. Additionally, the Solitaire™ Anterior Spinal System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T10 to L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Solitaire System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Solitaire 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.

Device Story

System comprises spinal spacers and Osseotite® screws; used for intervertebral body fusion, vertebral body replacement, and fracture stabilization. Screws fabricated from titanium alloy with acid-etched, roughened surface to enhance osseointegration and fixation strength. System implanted by surgeons in clinical/OR settings to restore spinal biomechanical integrity. Output is physical stabilization of spinal column. Benefits include improved fixation and structural support for diseased or fractured vertebrae.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing demonstrated mechanical equivalence to existing spacers. Animal testing (sheep model) showed roughened screw surface increases osseointegration and fixation strength.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy screws with acid-etched, roughened surface; PEEK spacers. Designed for stand-alone fusion or vertebral body replacement. Mechanical fixation via screw-spacer interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis (L2-S1) requiring stand-alone fusion; patients with tumors (T10-L5) requiring vertebral body replacement/decompression; and patients with thoracic/lumbar fractures requiring biomechanical restoration.

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.

## Device Description:

The Solitaire™ Ossectite® Screws are used with the spacers in the Solitaire™ and Solitaire™ PEEK Anterior Spinal System. The screws are fabricated from Titanium alloy and are acid closed to create a roughened surface.

## Indications for Use:

The Solitaire™ and Solitaire™ PEEK Anterior Spinal System is designed for use with autograft and is indicated for stand-alone intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.

The Solitaire System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Solitaire 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.

#### Summary of Technologies:

The technological characteristics such as material, design and sizing of the Solitaire™ Osseotite® Screws in the Solitaire™ and Solitaire™ PEEK Anterior Spinal System are the same as, or similar to, the predicate devices.

#### Performance Testing:

Mechanical testing demonstrates that the Solitaire™ Osseotite® Screws when used with the spacers in the Solitaire™ and Solitaire™ PEEK Anterior Spinal System are substantially equivalent to other spacers currently on the market and is adequate for its intended use. Although animal data is not necessarily indicative of human clinical outcomes, animal testing has demonstrated that the roughened surface area of the screw increases osseointegration and enhances screw fixation strength in the spine in a healthy sheep model.
