When used with the bone screws, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. The DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material. When used with the SpinPlate, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The interior of the spacer component may be packed with autogenous bone graft material. When used with the SpinPlate, the Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is intended for use with supplemental fixation. The Integra Spine Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, when used with bone screws or bone screws and the SpinPlate, is a stand alone device. If the Integra Spine Vu aPod Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is used only with the SpinPlate then additional supplemental fixation, which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine, must be used to augment stability. This device is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device.

The Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device consists of lumbar spinal interbody fusion devices as well as instrumentation designed specifically for the implantation of these devices. The Vu aPOD spacers are manufactured from PEEK OPTIMA LT1 polymer per ASTM F2026 while the bone screws and SpinPlate are comprised of Titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. Radiographic markers present with the Vu aPOD spacers are comprised of tantalum per ASTM F560. The Vu aPOD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is for lumbar spinal use at one or two contiguous levels from the L2-L3 to L5-S1 disc levels.

The Stainless Steel Spinal System is a non-cervical spinal fixation device intended for use as a posterior pedicle screw fixation system (T1-S2/ilium), a posterior non-pedicle screw fixation system (T1-L5), or as an anterolateral fixation system (T8-L5). Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally mature patients. The device is indicated as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

The purpose of this submission is the addition of alternative varieties of pedicle screws and surgical instruments to provide surgeons with further options for implant placement and deformity correction. The Stainless Steel Spinal System components can be rigidly locked together creating a construct for promoting fusion. The individual implant components are fabricated from medical grade stainless steel alloy 316 LVM described by such standards as ASTM F 138 and ISO 5832-1.

The Coral™ Spinal System is a non-cervical spinal fixation device intended for use as a posterior pedicle screw fixation system, a posterior non-pedicle screw fixation system, or as an anterolateral fixation system. Pedicle screw fixation is limited to skeletally mature patients. The device is indicated as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.

The purpose of this submission is the addition of the Malibu adjustable cross connector from SeaSpine Inc. to the Coral™ Spinal System. Cross connectors are used to connect the bi-lateral rods of a spinal construct to add torsional rigidity. The cross connectors are available in two styles, straight and contoured, the different styles offer the surgeon options intraoperatively. The straight cross connector offers the surgeon a low profile compared to the surrounding construct. The contoured cross connector offers surgeons an option that is slightly higher in profile but provides additional clearance between the cross connector and the spinal construct.
