Intended Use
LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms at one disc level. DDD is defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft bone. LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) weeks of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System intended for use as an interbody fusion cage device and must be used with supplemental fixation. The devices are available in a variety of different sizes and configurations to accommodate anatomical variation in different vertebral levels and/or patient anatomy. The devices are made of PEEK-OPTIMA® LTI with marker pins made of Unalloyed Tantalum.

No
The summary describes a passive implantable device (interbody fusion cage) and does not mention any computational or analytical functions, let alone AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties.

Yes
The device is an interbody fusion cage system used for treating degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine, which is a medical condition. Its purpose is to facilitate intervertebral body fusion, indicating a direct therapeutic action on the body.

No
The device is described as an interbody fusion cage system used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion, which is a therapeutic treatment. There is no mention of it being used for diagnosis of any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK and Tantalum, intended for surgical implantation in the cervical spine. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to facilitate bone fusion in the cervical spine. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of PEEK and Tantalum, designed to be placed within the body. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Mechanical performance of additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is same with predicated LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System(K120840). They are same product in all aspect, except sterilization. Sterilization method is gamma irradiation which is following ISO 11137. It is widely known that gamma irradiation sterilization is not effect on mechanical performance. Therefore, We substitute mechanical test data of additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System with it of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System(K120840).

The LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System was tested according to the ASTM F 2077, specifically, Static and Dynamic Axial Compression, Static and Dynamic Compression-Shear Testing, Static and Dynamic Torsion Testing, Expulsion Testing and Static Subsidence testing under Axial Compression, per ASTM F 2267.

§ 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.

Performance Data 7.

Mechanical performance of additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is same with predicated LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System(K120840). They are same product in all aspect, except sterilization. Sterilization method is gamma irradiation which is following ISO 11137. It is widely known that gamma irradiation sterilization is not effect on mechanical performance. Therefore, We substitute mechanical test data of additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System with it of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System(K120840).

The LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System was tested according to the ASTM F 2077, specifically, Static and Dynamic Axial Compression, Static and Dynamic Compression-Shear Testing, Static and Dynamic Torsion Testing, Expulsion Testing and Static Subsidence testing under Axial Compression, per ASTM F 2267.

8. Conclusion

The additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is substantially equivalent to the device referenced above and is therefore safe and effective for its intended use.
