Intended Use
LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System is indicated for intervertebral body fusion procedures 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. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s).This device is to be used with autogenous bone graft. LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System is intervertebral body fixation devices intended for use as an aid in spinal fixation. This system is fabricated and manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 as described by ASTM F2026. The Tantalum marker used for this product is made to the voluntary standard of ASTM F560. The devices are available in a variety of different sizes and heights to match more closely the patient's anatomy. The ends of the implants have machined teeth which are designed to engage with the vertebral body end plates. LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System Implants are supplied as sterile or non-sterile. The LnK PLIF PEEK Cages are to be implanted via posterior approach. These devices are placed two implants on each side of the interbody space (right and left). The LnK T-PLIF PEEK Cages which is used in transforaminal posterior lumbar interbody fusion technique. However, this kind of cage is to be implanted only one implant on interbody space. The LnK TLIF PEEK Cages are a "banana" shaped. Implants are dedicated to transforaminal approach. TLIF technique involves placing only one bone graft spacer in the middle of the interbody space, without retraction of the spinal nerves. The LnK ALIF PEEK Cages are to be implanted via anterior approach. The LnK DLIF PEEK Cages are to be implanted via direct lateral interbody fusion approach. LnK DLIF PEEK Cage can be used in an open approach and a percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation.

No
The summary describes a passive implantable device (lumbar interbody fusion cage) made of PEEK and Tantalum. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any computational components. The performance studies are mechanical tests of the device's structural integrity.

Yes.
This device is designed to aid in spinal fixation and address degenerative disc disease, which involves treating a medical condition.

No.

This device is an implantable intervertebral body fusion cage intended for spinal fixation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical intervertebral body fixation device made from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 and Tantalum, available in various sizes and shapes for surgical implantation. It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System is an "intervertebral body fixation device" intended for use as an aid in spinal fixation. It is a physical implant made of PEEK and Tantalum, designed to be surgically placed in the spine.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intervertebral body fusion procedures" in patients with degenerative disc disease. This is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used for spinal fusion, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.

7. Performance Data

Mechanical performance of additional components is same with predicated (K121096). Additional sizes are not worst case. Therefore, We substitute mechanical test data of additional components of LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System with it of LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System(K121096).

6

The LnK Lumbar 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.

Conclusion 8.

The additional components of LnK Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cage System are substantially equivalent to the device.
