Read the full statement (214 words)
The Ventana® A Anterior Lumbar Interbody 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). The Ventana® A Anterior Lumbar System is intended for patients who have had at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to being treated with the device. The interbody is intended to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous, cortical, and/or corticocancellous bone.
The Ventana® A Anterior Lumbar Interbody System may be used as a standalone device when used with three integrated fixation screws and has a lordotic angle of 20° or less. When an interbody device with fewer than three screws is used, supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated fixation must be used. Hyperlordotic sizes (greater than 20°) are intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine in addition to the integrated fixation.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
