Intended Use

The stand-alone intersomatic IMPIX ALIF S/A implants are indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). This device is to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should have a satisfactory course of conservative treatment (usually at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment) prior to treatment with an IMPIX-ALIF-S/A stand-alone cage. The IMPIX ALIF S/A devices should be used with the three (3) bone screws (Small Footprint) or four (4) bone screws (Medium, Large Footprints) accompanying the device. Otherwise, an additional fixation system (e.g., pedicle screw system) should be implanted.

Device Story

Intervertebral body fusion device; used for lumbar spinal fusion; consists of PEEK cage with tantalum markers and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) bone screws. Implanted via anterior approach; provides stand-alone fixation; requires autogenous bone graft. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Device stabilizes spinal segment; promotes fusion; reduces discogenic back pain. Mechanical performance verified via bench testing; no clinical or animal studies conducted.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical or animal studies were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993), static/dynamic axial compression, compression shear, subsidence, expulsion, and screw clip-out evaluation.

Technological Characteristics

PEEK OPTIMA LT1 (ASTM F2026) cage; Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F136, ISO 5832-3) screws; Tantalum (ASTM F560, ISO 13782) markers. Stand-alone intersomatic fusion device with integrated screw fixation. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077-11 and F2267-04.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1), including those with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires failure of at least 6 months of conservative treatment.

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.
