Stable-L is designed for use with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. The devices are to be used in patients who have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. Stable-L is intended for use in interbody fusions in the lumbar spine from L2 to S1 at one or two adjacent levels in the treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD). The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at one or two adjacent levels. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Each interbody fusion device having a lordotic angle 20° or less is intended to be used with the bone screws provided and requires no additional fixation. However, for hyperlordotic devices (> 20° lordosis), due to the increased risk of anterior migration with hyperlordotic implants, the devices should be used with the bone screws provided and supplemental fixation such as posterior fixation. The Nexus Spine Stable-C Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Stable-C Interbody System is a standalone system intended to be used with the bone anchors provided. The system is intended to be used with autogenous or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. ## Device Story Stable-L and Stable-C are interbody fusion systems consisting of additively manufactured titanium alloy cages and associated bone screws or anchors. Systems are implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures to facilitate bone growth using autogenous or allogenic bone graft. Stable-L is used in the lumbar spine; Stable-C is used in the cervical spine. Devices provide structural support and stabilization of the disc space. Subject submission updates the delivery method from non-sterile to sterile via gamma radiation. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing limited to sterilization validation, packaging validation, and shelf-life validation to support the change to gamma radiation sterilization. ## Technological Characteristics Interbody cages (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F3001) and fixation screws/anchors (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136). Additively manufactured. Provided sterile via gamma radiation. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Nexus Spine, LLC, Stable-L Standalone Lumbar Interbody System ([K212498](/device/K212498.md)) - Nexus Spine, LLC, Stable-C Interbody System ([K231763](/device/K231763.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Nexus Spine Stable-C Interbody System is an anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with cervical disc disease (DDD) at one level from C2-T1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The Stable-C Interbody System is a stand alone system intended to be used with the bone anchors provided. The system is intended to be used with autogenous or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. The system is to be used in patients who have had six weeks of non-operative treatment. # Substantial Equivalence: The subject Nexus Spine Stable-L Standalone Lumbar Interbody System and Stable-C Interbody System are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices: {6}------------------------------------------------ Primary Predicate: - Nexus Spine, LLC, Stable-L Standalone Lumbar Interbody System -K212498 ### Secondary Predicate: - Nexus Spine, LLC, Stable-C Interbody System - K231763 The subject components are identical in indications, sizing and geometry, technological characteristics, and materials to the predicates. The only difference between the subject device and predicate device is that the subject device is provided sterile via gamma radiation and the predicate device is provided nonsterile. Thus, it can be concluded that the subject does not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness. ### Performance Testing: The is no change to the intended use, indication for use, materials, geometry, or dimensions to the Stable-L Stnadalone Lumbar Interbody System or Stable-C Interbody System. There is no mechanical performance testing included in this submission. Sterilization validation, packaging validations, and shelf life validation have all been performed to support the gamma radiation sterilization change. ### Conclusion: The subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/OVD/K232530](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/OVD/K232530) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
