Intended Use
JULIET® Ti LL Lumbar Interbody Device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The JULIET® Ti LL Lumbar Interbody Device are to be used with autogenous and/or allogeneic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. Implants with 15-degree lordosis or greater are only indicated from levels L2-L5 and are to be used with at least two integrated fixation screws. The JULIET® Ti LL implants must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation system that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbosacral spine.
Device Story

Includes patients with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months of prior non-operative treatment. Implants ≥15-degree lordosis restricted to L2-L5 and require integrated fixation screws. Must be used with supplemental internal spinal 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)

Dear Mr. Pennesi:
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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

| Indications for use | JULIET® Ti LL Lumbar Interbody Device is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies.

| Description of the device | Spineart Juliet® Ti LL spinal implants consist of a range of titanium intervertebral<br>body spacers, implanted via a lateral approach, with various sizes and footprints so<br>as to adapt different patient's conditions. The Juliet® Ti LL spinal implants are made<br>of Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V ELI conforming to ASTM F136. The Juliet® Ti LL spinal<br>implants are additively manufactured and present both solid and porous structures.<br>The subject Product Line Extension consists of an extended range of titanium alloy<br>spacers with integrated fixation. Juliet® Ti LL Product Line Extension also introduces<br>a range of hyperlordotic intervertebral spacers of various sizes, heights, footprints<br>and lordosis with the integrated fixation.<br>The Juliet® Ti LL spinal implants are delivered sterile (gamma sterilization) and<br>supplied with dedicated surgical instruments (reusable - provided non-sterile).<br>Bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in USP standard is used for pyrogenicity<br>testing to achieve the Endotoxin limit of 20 EU / device. |
| Technological<br>characteristics<br>compared to<br>predicate devices | The added Juliet® Ti LL implants present similar design features, solid, lattice and<br>porous structures, the same manufacturing technology, i.e. additive manufacturing<br>(SLM) and the same material, i.e. titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 identically<br>to Juliet® Ti LL (K173702).<br>The previously cleared Juliet® Ti LL (K173702) and added hyperlordotic interbody<br>spacers can be implanted in a configuration with integrated fixation provided by the<br>mean of titanium alloy plate that come in various shapes, and heights and fixation<br>screws that come in various diameters and lengths so as to better fulfil surgeon's<br>needs and to accommodate varying patient anatomy. The bone screws are secured<br>by the mean of a cover-plate that prevent backing out.<br>Juliet® Ti LL implants conform to the Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug<br>Administration Staff issued on December 5, 2017 "Technical Considerations for<br>Additive Manufactured Devices".<br>As was established in this submission added Scarlet® AC-T fixation screws are<br>substantially equivalent and has the same technological and mechanical<br>characteristics to predicate devices. |
| Discussion of Testing | The following non-clinical tests were conducted on the Juliet® Ti LL: static and<br>dynamic axial compression (per ASTM F2077), static and dynamic shear<br>compression (per ASTM F2077), static and dynamic torsion (per ASTM F2077),<br>expulsion, subsidence (per ASTM F2267) and mass loss determination<br>after dynamic testing on assemblies (spacer + plate + fixation screws) that passed 5<br>million cycles. Results demonstrate comparable mechanical properties to the<br>primary predicate device Scarlet® AL-T (K181818) manufactured by Spineart.<br>Additionally, axial push out on the fixation screws through the plate has<br>been conducted. |
| Conclusion | Based on the design features, technological characteristics, feature comparisons,<br>indications for use, and non-clinical performance testing, the added Juliet® Ti LL<br>devices have demonstrated substantial equivalence to the identified predicate<br>devices |
