The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of a physical implant system (plates and screws) for spinal fusion, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is an implant for stabilization and immobilization as an adjunct to fusion, not a treatment in itself.
No
The device is described as an "Anterior Cervical Plate System" composed of plates and screws intended for "anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7)" as an adjunct to fusions. Its purpose is to immobilize and stabilize the spine, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of plates and screws made from titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.
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, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The LnK Anterior Cervical Plate System is a surgical implant (plates and screws) designed to be physically placed within the human body to stabilize the cervical spine.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function as an adjunct to fusions in patients with various spinal conditions. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing bodily specimens.
The information provided describes a surgical implant used for structural support and stabilization within the body, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The LnK Anterior Cervical Plate System is composed of plates and screws which are made from titanium alloy Ti-6A1-4V ELI (ASTM F136). These plates attach to the anterior cervical spine with a minimum of four screws per plate. The plates are offered in one-level, two-level, three-level and four-level fusion configurations (13~97mm). The plate screws are 3.5mm and 4.0mm diameter head screws. They are self-tapping and selfdrilling threaded. All implants are provided non-sterile.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. An:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
