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 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.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant (interbody fusion cage) made of PEEK and Tantalum, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the physical device.

Yes
The device is indicated for degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms to facilitate intervertebral body fusion. This clearly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is an interbody fusion cage system used for treatment of degenerative disc disease, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made of PEEK-OPTIMA® LTI with marker pins made of Unalloyed Tantalum, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is a physical implant made of PEEK and Tantalum, designed to be surgically placed in the cervical spine.
  • Intended Use: Its purpose is to facilitate bone fusion in the spine, not to analyze biological samples.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Mechanical performance of additional components of LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System is same with predicated LnK Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage System(K143360). They are same product in all aspect, except angle of cage. Predicate components have only 0° angle. The additional components have 7° angle. The additional components are not worse case as demonstrated through finite element (FE) analysis. 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 (K143360).

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(K143360). They are same product in all aspect, except angle of cage. Predicate components have only 0° angle. The additional components have 7° angle. The additional components are not worse case as demonstrated through finite element (FE) analysis. 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 (K143360).

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.

Conclusion 8.

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