Intended Use
The Cogent Med-LIF is indicated for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved levels. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These devices are intended for intervertebral body fusion, and are intended to be used with supplemental fixation instrumentation which has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
Device Description
The Cogent Med-LIF is an interbody fusion device intended to stabilize the spinal segment to promote fusion. The Cogent Med-LIF consists of two PEEK spacers with axial voids to contain bone graft material, a titanium linkage that connects the PEEK spacers, angular anti-migration teeth, and tantalum x-ray markers. The Cogent Med-LIF is available in various sizes to accommodate varying patient anatomy. The implants come in two lordotic options, 0° (parallel) and 6° (lordotic). The parallel implants are available in heights ranging from 8mm to 16mm and the lordotic implants are available in heights ranging from 10mm to 16mm. All implants are 10mm wide and are available in three lengths; 20, 25 and 30mm. The Cogent Med-LIF implants may be inserted via an open or minimally invasive approach and may be placed as a single implant or as two units bilaterally in the same intervertebral space. The Cogent Med-LIF implants are non-sterile and are to be sterilized by the end user.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and design of a spinal implant, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to stabilize the spinal segment to promote fusion as a treatment for degenerative disc disease.

No

The Cogent Med-LIF is an interbody fusion device intended to stabilize the spinal segment and promote fusion, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to treat degenerative disc disease by facilitating fusion, not to identify or characterize the disease itself.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components made of PEEK and titanium, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Cogent Med-LIF is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cogent Med-LIF Function: The Cogent Med-LIF is an implantable device designed to be surgically placed in the lumbar spine to promote intervertebral body fusion. It is a physical device used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for use with autogenous bone graft in patients with degenerative disc disease for intervertebral body fusion. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the implant (PEEK spacers, titanium linkage, etc.) and its purpose in stabilizing the spinal segment.

Therefore, the Cogent Med-LIF falls under the category of a medical device, specifically an implantable spinal fusion device, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

  • Static Axial Compression
  • Dynamic Axial Compression
  • Static Shear Compression
  • Dynamic Shear Compression

ASTM F2267

  • Subsidence

Expulsion Testing per ASTM Draft Standard F04.25.02.02

Additionally, Cogent Spine conducted a cadaveric implantation study to confirm autogenous bone graft can be adequately delivered when compared to a legally marketed predicate.

In summary, mechanical and non-clinical testing of the Cogent Med-LIF device indicated no new risks and demonstrated substantial equivalence in performance compared to a legally marketed predicate.

§ 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.
