Intended Use
The Lanx Spinal Fixation System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra; degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment; fracture; dislocation; scoliosis; kyphosis; spinal tumor; and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).
Device Description
The Lanx Spinal Fixation System is a posterior attachment pedicle fixation system. The system consists of a series of polyaxial screws, rods, cross connectors and interlocking mechanisms. The components are manufactured from alloyed titanium. This submission is intended to address a line extension to the Lanx Spinal Fixation System. The line extension includes additional pedicle screw sizes/configurations, hooks, connectors and the introduction of unalloyed titanium rods.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and materials, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to treat various spinal instabilities and deformities, providing immobilization and stabilization as an adjunct to fusion, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is a spinal fixation system, intended to provide immobilization and stabilization, rather than diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "posterior attachment pedicle fixation system" consisting of physical components like screws, rods, and connectors made of titanium, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments... as an adjunct to fusion." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to treat structural problems of the spine.
  • Device Description: The description details components like "polyaxial screws, rods, cross connectors and interlocking mechanisms" made from titanium. These are physical implants designed to be surgically placed.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or components.

Therefore, the Lanx Spinal Fixation System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3050 Spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis.

(a)
Identification. A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Statement of Technological Comparison

The Lanx Deformity System has the same intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the Lanx Spinal Fixation System. The minor differences in the line item extensions items do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Mechanical testing also demonstrated comparable mechanical properties to the predicate device.
