The NuVasive CCX-L Interbody System is intervertebral body fusion of the spine in skeletally mature patients. The system is designed for use with autogenous bone graft to facilitate fusion.
The CCX-L Interbody System is intended for use at either one levels in the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the CCX-L Interbody System. The CCX-L Interbody System is intended to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
The CCX-L Interbody intervertebral fusion device is designed to address lumbar pathologies utilizing interbody placement through a standard posterolateral approach. The NuVasive CCX-L Interbody System is manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3, and nickel-cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (MP35N) conforming to ASTM F562. The implants are available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient.
§ 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.
