Intended Use

FORZA Ti Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondvlolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved levels. FORZA Ti Spacer System is intended for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation system. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the FORZA Ti Spacer System.

Device Story

FORZA Ti Spacer System consists of 3D-printed titanium intervertebral body fusion implants; designed for insertion into lumbar disc space to stabilize vertebrae, maintain disc height, and prevent vertebral collapse. Implants feature porous endplates with functional gradient structure, open macroscopic pores, and microscopic/nano-scale surface features. Used in spinal fusion procedures by surgeons; requires supplemental fixation and bone graft (autograft/allograft). Device facilitates fusion by providing structural support during healing. Benefits include stabilization of spinal segments in patients with degenerative disc disease.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic axial compression, static/dynamic compression shear) and ASTM F2267 (subsidence). Particle characterization performed per ASTM F1877. Results demonstrate performance equivalent to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

3D-printed titanium implants conforming to ASTM F3001. Features porous endplates, functional gradient porous structure, and nano-scale surface features. Intervertebral body fusion device. Provided sterile. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for spinal fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1). Includes patients with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis and those with prior non-fusion surgery. Requires 6 months of failed non-operative treatment. Must be used with autograft/allograft and supplemental fixation.

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 Ms. Volosen:

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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

Reason for the 510(k) Submission: Addition of 3D printed interbody devices

# Device Description:

FORZA Ti Spacer System is comprised of a variety of 3D Titanium printed implants (conforming to ASTM F3001) that have porous end plates and a functional gradient porous structure. The implant superior and inferior Titanium plate surface provides increased stability for the implant. The titanium porous structure have open macroscopic 3D pores with a microscopic roughened surface and nano-scale features. FORZA Ti Spacer System is implanted in the intervertebral disc space and is intended to facilitate vertebral fusion by stabilizing adjacent vertebrae, maintaining disc height, and preventing the collapsing of one vertebrate onto another.

FORZA Ti Spacer System is not intended to be used as a stand-alone device and must be used with supplemental fixation. FORZA Ti implants are provided sterile.

# Indications for Use and Intended Use:

FORZA Ti Spacer System is indicated for spinal fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels in the lumbar spine (L2-S1). DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondvlolisthesis at the involved levels. These patients may have had a previous non-fusion surgery at the involved levels. FORZA Ti Spacer System is intended for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and supplemental fixation system.

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

Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the FORZA Ti Spacer System.

## Performance Testing Summary:

FORZA Ti spacer was evaluated via mechanical testing per ASTM F2077 (including static and dynamic axial compression, static and dynamic compression shear), ASTM F2267 (subsidence) and characterization of particles per ASTM F1877. The results demonstrated the performance of FORZA Ti spacer is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

### Substantial Equivalence:

The subject device is substantially equivalent to the FORZA PTC Spacer System (K200052) predicate device with respect to indications, design, materials, function, and performance.

### Conclusion:

FORZA Ti Spacer System have the same intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, the same principles of operation and same design as the predicate device FORZA PTC Spacer System (K200052).
