Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing was performed for two purposes. First, to characterize the nano-scale features. Second, to evaluate and measure osteoblast functions on CoreLink F3D titanium alloy interbody devices and to determine a mechanism by which they influence such cell responses; completed testing included:
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
- Atomic Force Microscopy
- Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
- Osteoblast Adhesion and Proliferation
- Total Intracellular Collagen Content
- Alkaline Phosphatase Activity
- Quantification of Extracellular Calcium
The results of the study showed that additively manufacturing Corelink's 3D printed Ti6Al4V created nanoscale surface features without changing chemistry with higher surface energy values compared to machined titanium alloy, PEEK, and HA-PEEK. This specific additive manufacturing process demonstrated that the 3D-Ti promoted higher osteoblast functions of adhesion, proliferation, and synthesis of a calcified extracellular matrix (as indicated by collagen, alkaline phosphatase, and calcium deposition) as compared to the machined titanium alloy, PEEK, and HA-PEEK.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The CoreLink, F3D Interbody System is a collection of additively manufactured, machined implants and associated instruments for surgical site preparation and implantation to provide mechanical support to the cervical and lumbar spine while arthrodesis occurs. The subject cages are additively manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V per ASTM F3001. Integration consists of additive Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F3001) anchors (also referred to as nails) or machined Ti- 6A1-4V (ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3) screws. The spacer and screw components are available in an assortment of dimensional combinations to accommodate the individual anatomic and clinical circumstances of each patient. The basic shape of the spacer is a trapezoidal column to provide surgical
10
stabilization of the spine. The inferior/superior aspects of the spacer incorporate a vertical cavity which can be packed with bone graft. The F3D Interbody System has open macroscopic 3D pores with a microscopic, roughened surface and nano scale features.
INDICATIONS FOR USE

The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is a Stand-Alone anterior cervical interbody fusion system indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one or two contiguous disc levels depending on the assembly. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed via an anterior approach at one- or two-disc levels (C2-T1) depending on the assembly. The interior of the spacers can be packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprising cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate as an adjunct to fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment. The F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is an interbody fusion device intended to be used with two titanium alloy screws and/or anchors which accompany the implants. When used with screws, the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is intended for use at one or two levels of the cervical spine (C2-T1) and requires no additional fixation. When used with one or more anchors, the F3D-C2 Cervical Stand-Alone System is intended for use at one level of the cervical spine (C2-T1) and requires additional supplemental fixation such as posterior cervical screw fixation..
F3D Corpectomy System
The F3D Corpectomy devices are vertebral body replacement devices intended for use in the cervical (C2-T1) and thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). When used in the cervical spine (C2-T1), F3D Corpectomy devices are intended for use in skeletally mature patients to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor fracture or osteomyelitis, or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues in cervical degenerative disorders. These spacers are intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. When used in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). F3D Corpectomy devices are intended for use to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture).
These spacers are designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The interior of the spacers can be packed with autograft or allogenic bone
11
graft comprising cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate as an adjunct to fusion. These devices are intended to be used with FDA-cleared supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been labeled for use in the cervical, thoracic, and/or lumbar spine (i.e., posterior screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). When used at more than two levels, supplemental fixation should include posterior fixation.

PERFORMANCE DATA
Testing was performed for two purposes. First, to characterize the nano-scale features. Second, to evaluate and measure osteoblast functions on CoreLink F3D titanium alloy interbody devices and to determine a mechanism by which they influence such cell responses; completed testing included:
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
- Atomic Force Microscopy
- Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
- Osteoblast Adhesion and Proliferation
- Total Intracellular Collagen Content
- Alkaline Phosphatase Activity
- Quantification of Extracellular Calcium
The results of the study showed that additively manufacturing Corelink's 3D printed Ti6Al4V created nanoscale surface features without changing chemistry with higher surface energy values compared to machined titanium alloy, PEEK, and HA-PEEK. This specific additive manufacturing process demonstrated that the 3D-Ti promoted higher osteoblast functions of adhesion, proliferation, and synthesis of a calcified extracellular matrix (as indicated by collagen, alkaline phosphatase, and calcium deposition) as compared to the machined titanium alloy, PEEK, and HA-PEEK.
CONCLUSION
The overall technology characteristics and mechanical performance data lead to the conclusion that the F3D Interbody System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
