Intended Use

The El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in sketally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L1-L2 to L5-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiosraphic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). El Capitan System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (0) months of non-operative weatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. The EL CAPITAN Spacer and Plate assembly are an integrated interbody fusion device intended for stand-alone use when used with all titanium alloy screws. When used with anchors only the zero plate may be used and the assembly is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20° lordosis) and the Oblique interbody devices must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

Device Story

The El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion System is a modular, two-piece intervertebral body fusion device consisting of interchangeable spacers and plates. It is designed to replace autogenous bone graft blocks, reducing donor site complications. The device features a spring-loaded latch mechanism for intraoperative assembly. Implants are hollow to accommodate autogenous bone graft, promoting arthrodesis through open superior and inferior surfaces. The system is used by surgeons in clinical settings for lumbar spinal fusion. It can function as a stand-alone device when used with titanium alloy screws or with additional FDA-cleared supplemental fixation. Hyperlordotic and oblique variants require mandatory supplemental posterior fixation. The device provides structural support to the intervertebral space, facilitating bone growth and stabilizing the spinal segment to alleviate discogenic pain.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including static and dynamic compression, static and dynamic compression shear, subsidence, and expulsion testing per ASTM standards.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK-OPTIMA LT120HA (MAF 2227), Tantalum (ASTM F560), Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136), Nitinol (ASTM E2063). Modular 2-piece design with spring-loaded latch. Hollow geometry for bone graft. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077, F1717, F2267.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels (L1-L2 to L5-S1) with or without Grade I spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Requires 6 months of failed non-operative treatment.

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) *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.

The Spacers are a 2-piece modular design which | | | allows for interchangeable plate and spacer components. The plate and | | | spacer components contain interlocking features in addition to a spring- | | | loaded latch mechanism which allows for intraoperative assembly prior to | | | implantation. The spacer components are available in a range of | | | footprints and heights, and the plates are offered in multiple fixation | | | types and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions | | | of the patient. The implants have a hollow center to allow placement of | | | autogenous bone graft. The superior and inferior surfaces are open to<br>promote contact of the bone graft with the vertebral end plates, allowing | | | bone growth (arthrodesis). | | Materials | PEEK-OPTIMA LT120HA (PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced) – MAF 2227 | | | Tantalum per ASTM F560 | | | Titanium Alloy (Ti6-AL4-V ELI) per ASTM F136 | | | Nitinol #1 (ASTM E2063) | | | | | Substantial Equivalence<br>Claimed to Predicate<br>Devices | The El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is substantially<br>equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of intended use, design,<br>materials used, mechanical safety and performances. | | Indications for Use | The El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody System is indicated for<br>intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with<br>degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two<br>contiguous levels from L1-L2 to L5-S1.
