No
The summary describes a physical implant (vertebral body replacement) and associated instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any terms related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing.
Yes
The device is described as "intended for use as a vertebral body replacement" and for "treating fractures," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
The device description indicates that the Lanx VBR System is an implant used to replace or restore vertebral bodies in the spine, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly details physical implants made of PEEK and titanium, and instruments made of stainless steel. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to replace or partially replace vertebral bodies in the spine due to tumor or trauma/fracture. This is a therapeutic and structural device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details physical implants made of PEEK and titanium, designed to be surgically inserted into the body. This aligns with a medical device for treatment, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are fatigue and static testing, which are relevant to the structural integrity and durability of an implant, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Lanx VBR System does not fit this description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Lanx VBR System is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The device is intended for use as a vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (from TI to LS) The Lanx VBR System may also be used in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., Ti- L5) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Lanx VBR System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Lanx VBR System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column. For either indication the system must be used with supplemental internal fixation. Supplemental internal fixation is required to properly utilize this system.

§ 888.3060 Spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis.
(a)
Identification. A spinal intervertebral body fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of titanium. It consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the center of each of the plates. A braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and it is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw. The device is used to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct “sway back,” scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine), or other conditions.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Schlerf:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
