Intended Use

Lucent® intervertebral body fusion devices are intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) 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 history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s). This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). This device is intended to be used with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticancellous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months non-operative treatment prior to being treated with this device.

Device Story

Lucent® is an intervertebral body fusion device (interbody cage) for lumbar spinal surgery. Box-shaped design with internal voids for autograft placement; superior/inferior surfaces feature teeth/sharp engagement members to prevent migration. Implanted by surgeons during spinal fusion procedures; used in conjunction with supplemental fixation systems (pedicle screw/rod or anterior plate/screw systems) and bone graft (autograft/allograft). Provides structural support to intervertebral space to facilitate fusion. Device is a line extension of previously cleared Lucent® systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing performed. No additional non-clinical testing required due to the nature of the line additions.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F 136/ISO 5832-3), PEEK-Optima (Invibio grade LT1), or PEEK with plasma-sprayed commercially pure titanium coating (ASTM F 1580). Tantalum pins (ASTM F 560) used as radiographic markers in PEEK devices. Design: Box-shaped interbody cage with surface teeth for fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1). DDD defined as discogenic back pain with radiographic confirmation. Includes patients with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis and those with prior non-fusion spinal surgery. Requires 6 months non-operative treatment. Used with supplemental fixation and bone graft.

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 Julie Lamothe:

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. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

#### Purpose of this 510(k)

This 510(k) seeks clearance for line additions to the Lucent® previously cleared for use under K122967 and K150061, respectively.

#### Device Description

The Lucent® device is an intervertebral body fusion device for use in lumbar spinal surgery. It may also be referred to as an interbody device or interbody cage. The device is generally box-shaped with various holes throughout its design to allow for the placement of autograft. The exterior of the device has "teeth" or other generally sharp engagement members on the superior and inferior surfaces to help prevent the device from migrating once it is surgically positioned.

#### Indications for Use

Lucent® intervertebral body fusion devices are intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of

{4}------------------------------------------------

the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s).

This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems).

This device is intended to be used with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticancellous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months non-operative treatment prior to being treated with this device.

## Substantial Equivalence

The subject device is identical in indications for use, manufacturing method, raw material and operating principles to the predicate devices cleared in K122967 and K150061.

## Technological Characteristics

The subject device has equivalent technological characteristics to its predicates presented below through comparison in areas including labeling/indications for use, general design features, function, material, manufacturing process and instrumentation:

- Spinal Elements Lucent Interbody Device K150061 Primary ●
- Spinal Elements Lucent Interbody Device K122967 Additional Predicate ●
- LANX, Inc. Lanx Lateral Device K103666 Additional Predicate ●
- DePuy Spine, Inc. COUGAR® LS Lateral Cage Device K162327 Additional . Predicate

## Performance Data

No clinical testing was found to be necessary. Given the type of changes made to the Lucent device, no additional non-clinical testing was required or performed.

## Materials and Standards

The previously cleared devices and the devices submitted herein may be manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F 136 or ISO 5832-3. polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima® provided by Invibio grade LT1) materials or polyetheretherketone (PEEK-Optima® provided by Invibio grade LT1) with a plasma sprayed coating of commercially pure titanium (per ASTM F 1580) on their superior and inferior surfaces. Because PEEK is radiolucent, tantalum (per ASTM F 560) pins are placed in various locations of the PEEK devices to serve as markers for radiographic visualization of device orientation.

## Conclusion

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the subject device has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the aforementioned predicate devices cleared by FDA for commercial distribution in the United States.
