Intended Use

BEE HA cages are intended for intervertebral body fusion devices in skeletally mature patients for the treatment of cervical disc degeneration and/or cervical spinal instability as confirmed by imaging studies (radiographs, CT, MRI) that results in radiculopathy, myelopathy and/or pain at one or more contiguous levels from C2-T1. These patients should have had at least six weeks of nonoperative treatment. BEE HA cages are to be used with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for cervical fusion procedures.

Device Description

The subject BEE HA cage is an anterior cervical interbody fusion device. BEE HA cage is manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced. The subject device has a hollow chamber to permit packing with bone graft to facilitate fusion. The superior and inferior surfaces of the device have a pattern of teeth to provide increased stability and to help prevent movement of the device. Additionally, the device contains four (4) titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V per ASTM F136) pins to provide imaging visibility for device positioning.

BEE HA cages are offered in several adaptive sizes with varying footprints and lordotic angles to accommodate patient anatomy. The caudal side is flat, the cranial side is domed and the implant is formed conically from anterior to posterior. In the lateral view, the implant has a slightly lordotic form.

BEE HA cage is intended for single use only and is provided sterile, using gamma irradiation.

The purpose of this traditional 510k is to expand the size range offerings for the previously cleared BEE HA.

Dear Christine Scifert:

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 (the 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 available 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.

BEE HA cages are to be used with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion and in combination with supplemental fixation indicated for cervical fusion procedures.

Substantial Equivalence:

The subject components are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:

Primary Predicate:

  • BEE HA Cage, NGMedical GmbH, K203444

Additional Predicate:

  • BEE Cervical Cage, NGMedical GmbH, K231371
  • PATRIOT® COLONIAL® Spacer, Globus Medical Inc., K173722

The subject components indications, technological characteristics and materials are identical to the primary predicate. The additional predicate has been included to show that the geometry of the expanded sizes of the subject device fall within the size range of the additional predicates.

Performance Testing:

The following performance testing was conducted for the original clearance of the BEE HA Cage System (K203444):

  • Static and Dynamic Compression per ASTM F2077-18
  • Static and Dynamic Compression shear per ASTM F2077-18
  • Static and Dynamic Torsion per ASTM F2077-18
  • Expulsion
  • Subsidence per ASTM F2267-04

The following mechanical testing was repeated for the subject device to confirm that the subject size expansion does not affect the performance of the system:

  • Dynamic compression shear per ASTM F2077
  • Dynamic compression per ASTM F2077
  • Dynamic torsion per ASTM F2077

K250560 - Page 2 of 3
