Intended Use
The EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L1-L2 to L5-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). EL CAPITAN System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. The EL CAPITAN Spacer and Plate assembly are an integrated interbody fusion device intended for stand-alone use when used with all titanium alloy screws. When anchors, the assembly is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20° lordosis) must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the Lumbar spine.
Device Story
Modular intervertebral body fusion device; 2-piece design with interchangeable spacer and plate components; features interlocking mechanism and spring-loaded latch for intraoperative assembly. Hollow center accommodates autogenous bone graft to promote arthrodesis. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to replace autogenous bone graft blocks, reducing donor site complications. Provides structural support to vertebral endplates. Used with supplemental fixation; stand-alone use permitted only with specific titanium alloy screws. Benefits patients by facilitating spinal fusion in DDD cases.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing including static and dynamic compression (ASTM F2077, F1717), static and dynamic compression shear (ASTM F2077, F1717), subsidence (ASTM F2267), and expulsion testing.
Technological Characteristics
Modular interbody fusion device. Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT120HA, Tantalum (ASTM F560), Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136), Nitinol (ASTM F2063). Features hollow center for bone graft. Integrated spacer and plate assembly with spring-loaded latch. Stand-alone capability dependent on screw material.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intervertebral body fusion in skeletally mature patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 1-2 contiguous levels (L1-S1). Includes patients with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. Requires 6 months prior non-operative treatment. Must be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation (stand-alone use permitted only with titanium alloy screws).
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. Kelch:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

| Device Description | The EL CAPITAN Anterior Lumbar Interbody devices are implants<br>developed for the substitution of the classical autogenous bone graft<br>blocks. The cages assist to avoid complications related to the bone graft<br>donation site (chronic pain, hematoma, infection, bone removal from the<br>donor site making it impossible to remove bone again, quality of the iliac<br>bone, accessing a healthy donor site that may become an unhealthy site,<br>hernias by the incision). The Spacers are a 2-piece modular design which<br>allows for interchangeable plate and spacer components. The plate and<br>spacer components contain interlocking features in addition to a spring-<br>loaded latch mechanism which allows for intraoperative assembly prior to<br>implantation. The spacer components are available in a range of<br>footprints and heights, and the plates are offered in multiple fixation<br>types and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions<br>of the patient. The implants have a hollow center to allow placement of<br>autogenous bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces are open to<br>promote contact of the bone graft with the vertebral end plates, allowing<br>bone growth (arthrodesis) |
