The PLIF Cage is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These devices are intended for intervertebral body fusion, and are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
PLIF Cage is a hollow, generally rectangular box made The of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and having titanium x-ray markers. It is provided in a variety of shapes and sizes, and is intended to be filled with a bone graft material. The smallest footprint of the device is 8mm medial-lateral x 20mm anterior-posterior. The largest footprint is 12mm medial-lateral x 30mm anteriorposterior. Available heights range from 7mm to 16mm. The device is available either in a non-lordosed configuration, or with a built-in six degree lordotic angle.
The PLIF cage may be inserted via an open or minimally invasive approach. It may be placed singly or in pairs.
Bone graft volume of the device is variable depending on the device size; larger sizes have more volume for graft. The smallest graft volume, in the 20x8x7mm non-fordotic device is approximately 354.1mm² (0.4cc), while the largest in the 30x12x16 lordotic device is approximately 3,530mm3 (3.5cc).
The surface area of the device contacting the endplates ranges from 118mm² to 220mm2 for the smallest and largest footprint devices, respectively.
The PLIF cage may be made either from Zeniva PEEK (Solvav Advanced Polymers, Alpharetta, GA USA) or PEEK Optima (Invibio, Inc., West Conshohocken, PA USA). The particular grade of PEEK used is tracked via product lot numbering and is displayed on the package label.
The provided text does not describe acceptance criteria for a diagnostic device or a study validating its performance in the context of medical imaging or AI. Instead, it details the 510(k) summary for a medical device called "PLIF Cage," which is an intervertebral fusion device, and the FDA's decision regarding its substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
Therefore, I cannot extract the information requested as it is not present in the provided document. The document focuses on the mechanical testing and material equivalence of a physical implant (PLIF Cage) rather than the performance metrics of a diagnostic tool or an AI algorithm.
§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.
(a)
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.(b)
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.
