Read the full statement (190 words)
The Altus Spine Interbody Standalone Fusion System 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). Patients must have undergone a regimen of at least
six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device.
When used with both the cover plate and four (4) provided screws, the Altus Spine Interbody
Standalone Fusion System requires no additional supplemental fixation.
In any other instance, additional supplemental fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the
lumbar spine must be used.
Implants with hyperlordotic angles > 20 degrees, regardless of screw usage, must also be used
with additional supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior pedicle screw and rod systems).
The interior of the interbody spacer component is intended to be packed with autogenous bone
graft and/or allogeneic bone graft material composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous
bone.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
