Intended Use
The Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine. The Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System is suitable for use to provide temporary stabilization of the anterior spine while awaiting bony fusion (healing) in patients with degenerative disc disease (neck or radicular pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (kyphosis, lordosis), or pseudoarthrosis and/or failed previous fusion between and including levels C2 and C7. Warning: This device is not cleared for screw attachment to the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of anterior plates and bone screws that are used to build a construct to provide stabilization of the anterior cervical spine to support fusion. The system contains plates and screws of various sizes that allow the surgeon to address single or multi-level cervical spine conditions. The material for components of the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System is implant grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI).

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant (plate and screws) for spinal fixation and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
This device is intended to provide temporary stabilization of the anterior spine while awaiting bony fusion for conditions such as degenerative disc disease and trauma, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device description states that the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of "anterior plates and bone screws that are used to build a construct to provide stabilization of the anterior cervical spine to support fusion." This indicates a therapeutic or supportive function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of anterior plates and bone screws, which are physical hardware components, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System consists of "anterior plates and bone screws" used to "provide stabilization of the anterior cervical spine." These are physical implants used inside the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine" and "temporary stabilization of the anterior spine while awaiting bony fusion." This describes a surgical procedure and the function of an implanted device, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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.

Substantial Equivalence

The Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System has the same or similar intended use, indications, technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate device. The minor differences between the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System and its predicate device do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. Mechanical testing also demonstrated comparable mechanical properties to previously cleared devices. Thus, the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
