Intended Use
The LT Cage System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. Patients should have received 6 months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices. The device must be used with supplemental fixation. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). It is indicated to be used with autograft bone.
Device Description
The Medyssey LT Cage System consists of cages of various widths and heights, which can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbrosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. The hollow geometry of the implants allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft. The Medyssey LT Cage System is to be used with supplemental fixation. The device is offered in 64 sizes, with heights ranging from 8 - 15mm, lengths from 25 - 32mm and a width of 11mm. They are also available with 0°, 4° and 8° lordosis. The devices are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) meeting ASTM F136 and are supplied non-sterile. The purpose of this submission is to provide a device that is manufactured from titanium alloy, which is similar to the PEEK device currently available from Medyssey Co. Ltd.

No
The summary describes a physical implant (a cage for spinal fusion) and its material properties. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion cage used to provide support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries for patients with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). Its purpose is to treat a medical condition and is implanted in the body to achieve this therapeutic effect.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes a medical implant (LT Cage System) used for spinal fusion in patients with Degenerative Disc Disease. Its purpose is to provide support and correction during surgery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "cages of various widths and heights" manufactured from "titanium alloy," indicating a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The description clearly states the LT Cage System is an implantable device used in surgery to support and correct vertebral bodies. It does not involve testing or analyzing biological samples.
  • The intended use is for surgical implantation. The device is designed to be placed within the patient's body during a surgical procedure, not to perform diagnostic tests on samples outside the body.
  • The performance studies are mechanical tests. The studies listed (Static Compression, Static Torsion, etc.) are evaluating the physical properties and strength of the implant, not its ability to detect or measure substances in biological samples.

The LT Cage System is a surgical implant used for spinal fusion.

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

The subject and predicate Medyssey Cage devices are identical in indications for use, intended use, performance specifications, and fundamental technological characteristics. Assessment of the design change (alternate material) was completed in accordance with Medyssey design control procedures. The titanium material is stronger than the currently available PEEK material. In addition titanium is used in both spinal and general orthopedic implants and has no biocompatibility issues. No additional testing is required to support this submission. The predicate LP Cage was subjected to the following:

  • Static Compression ASTM F2077-03 .
  • Static Torsion ASTM F2077-03 .
  • Static Compressive Shear F2077-03 .
  • Dynamic Compression F2077-03 .
  • Subsidence ASTM F2267-04 .

A risk analysis was completed. Based on the risk analysis and additional supporting documentation provided in this premarket notification submission, Medyssey believes that the subject Medyssey LT Cage is substantially equivalent to the Medyssey LP Cage.

§ 888.3080 Intervertebral body fusion device.

(a)
Identification. An intervertebral body fusion device is an implanted single or multiple component spinal device made from a variety of materials, including titanium and polymers. The device is inserted into the intervertebral body space of the cervical or lumbosacral spine, and is intended for intervertebral body fusion.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for intervertebral body fusion devices that contain bone grafting material. The special control is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device.” See § 888.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.(2) Class III (premarket approval) for intervertebral body fusion devices that include any therapeutic biologic (e.g., bone morphogenic protein). Intervertebral body fusion devices that contain any therapeutic biologic require premarket approval.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required. Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

7. Summary of Technological Characteristics

The purpose of this special 510(k) is to provide a cage with the same dimension design and implant technique as the Medyssey LP Cage, but manufactured from titanium alloy meeting ASTM F136. The design and fundamental scientific technology of the subject Medyssey LT Cage are identical to the predicate device. The only difference is the material.

8. Identification of Legally Marketed Predicate Device

Documentation was provided, which demonstrates that the subject Medyssey LT Cage is substantially equivalent to the predicate Medyssey LP Cage cleared on April 8, 2011 under K110067. The only difference is the material of manufacture and several lumbar cage devices are manufactured from titanium alloy including the Medtronic PERIMETER Interbody Fusion Device (K111525, Aug. 25, 2011) and the Ray Cage (P950019).

9. Brief Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Submitted

The subject and predicate Medyssey Cage devices are identical in indications for use, intended use, performance specifications, and fundamental technological characteristics. Assessment of the design change (alternate material) was completed in accordance with Medyssey design control procedures. The titanium material is stronger than the currently available PEEK material. In addition titanium is used in both spinal and general orthopedic implants and has no biocompatibility issues. No additional testing is required to support this submission. The predicate LP Cage was subjected to the following:

  • Static Compression ASTM F2077-03 .
  • Static Torsion ASTM F2077-03 .
