## Intended Use

The OPTIMUS Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-SI) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by the history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade I Spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. The patient should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. The OPTIMUS Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) System is a stand-alone system intended to be used with bone screws, autogenous bone graft, and requires no additional supplementary fixations. One device is used per intervertebral space.

## Device Story

Optimus ALIF system is a zero-profile, stand-alone intervertebral body fusion device; modular design includes center fixation plate, lordotic end caps, and three bone screws. Used in anterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures to provide stability and facilitate fusion. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings. Device components fixate to adjacent vertebral bodies via bone screws passing through end caps. System utilizes autogenous bone graft to promote fusion. Benefits include anterior fixation and stability without requiring additional supplementary fixation. Mechanical performance validated via static/dynamic compression, torsion, shear, subsidence, and expulsion testing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance validated through mechanical testing per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression, shear, torsion), ASTM F2267 (subsidence), and draft standard ASTM F04.25.02.02 (expulsion).

## Technological Characteristics

Modular interbody fusion system. Materials: Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F136) for fixation plates and bone screws; PEEK Optima LT1 (ASTM F2026) and titanium for end caps, with plasma-sprayed CP-titanium (ASTM F1580) coating. Dimensions: 25x32mm or 29x36mm footprints; 9-13mm heights; 6-14 degree lordotic angles. Stand-alone fixation via three 5.0mm diameter bone screws. Non-software device.

## 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.

#### Device Description

The Optimus Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) system is a zero profile stand-alone interbody that combines the benefits of an anterior fixation plate and fusion device. Optimus is a modular design that consists of a center fixation plate, lordotic end caps and three bone screws for anterior fixation and stability. The bone screws thread into the fixation plate and pass through the superior and inferior openings of the end caps to fixate the implant with the adjacent vertebral bodies. The device is available in two footprints, multiple heights, lordotic angles and screw lengths.
