Intended Use
The Lanx Anterior Plating System is intended to provide fixation of the thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral spine (T1-51) as an adjunct to fusion using autograft or allograft in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the following instabilities or deformities: - Degenerative disc disease (DDD, defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of . the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); - Spinal stenosis (indicated for L1- S1 only); . - Spondylolisthesis; . - Deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); . - Trauma (i.e., fracture, dislocation, or subluxation); . - . Spondylolysis; - Tumor; . - . Pseudoarthrosis; and/or - . Failed previous fusion. The Lanx Anterior Plating System is indicated for use via the lateral or anterolateral surgical approach for fixation of the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine, or via the anterior surgical approach for fixation of the lumbosacral spine below the bifurcation of the great vessels.
Device Description
The Lanx Anterior Plating System consists of various plates and screws that are used to build a construct to provide supplemental stabilization of spinal segments to support fusion. The system components can be assembled in a variety of configurations, allowing the surgeon to tailor the construct to the particular needs of the patient.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical plating system for spinal fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended to provide fixation of the spine as an adjunct to fusion for treating various instabilities or deformities, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and trauma, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a spinal fixation system, used to provide stability and support fusion, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "various plates and 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 Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Lanx Anterior Plating System is described as a system of plates and screws used to provide fixation and stabilization of the spine during surgery. It is an implantable device used directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide fixation as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of various spinal instabilities and deformities. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The information provided clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant used for structural support and stabilization within the body, not a device used for testing biological samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing and engineering analysis were conducted to characterize the performance of the Lanx Anterior Plating System. The subject device was evaluated under ASTM F1717 construct testing for static axial compression, static torsion and dynamic axial compression testing versus a predicate device. The device functioned as intended and the observed test results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

§ 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.
