## Indications for use
The Renovis S128 Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. Degenerative disc disease is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). Renovis S128 ALIF System implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft. Patients should be skeletally mature and have at least six months of non-operative treatment. The Renovis 5128 ALIF System is a stand-alone device and is intended to be used with the cover plate and screws provided and requires no additional supplementary fixation. The anterior cover plate must be utilized whenever the device is implanted using the bone screws provided. Should the physician choose to use fewer than the four screws provided, additional supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine must be used.
