Intended Use
The Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2 – S1 inclusive) in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies) of the lumbosacral spine. DDD patients may also have up to a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved level(s). These implants are to be packed with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, and implanted via an anterior, posterior, and/or transforaminal approach. Patients should receive at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with a lumbosacral intervertebral fusion device. This device is intended to be used with supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine (i.e., posterior pedicle screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems).
Device Description
The X-spine Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System is an intervertebral fusion device for use with bone graft, designed for surgical placement between adjacent vertebrae of the lumbar spine as an adjunct to fusion. The X-spine Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System is a generally hollow box or oval shaped device manufactured from Invibio PEEK-Optima™ LT1 per ASTM F2026. The device contains an array of holes located throughout its geometry as well as teeth on the superior and inferior surfaces to help prevent implant dislodgement or expulsion once placed in its desired location. The implants are available with or without a medical grade commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) plasma coating (per ASTM F1580) on the superior and inferior surfaces of the device. The hollow center of the implant allows the device to be packed with bone graft: autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, The single use implants are supplied in several width, height and lordosis options to accommodate variations in patient anatomy and differing pathologies. The devices contain radiographic markers made from tantalum per ASTM F560 to aid in final placement verification. Plasma coated implants are provided clean and sterile. Nonplasma coated implants and instruments are provided non-sterile. All implants are intended for single use only, and should not be reused under any circumstances. The system does not contain software/firmware.
More Information

No
The device description explicitly states "The system does not contain software/firmware." and there are no mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "intervertebral fusion device" intended for spinal fusion procedures in patients with degenerative disc disease, which clearly indicates its purpose is to treat a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System is an intervertebral fusion device intended for spinal fusion procedures. It is a surgical implant designed to provide structural support and facilitate bone fusion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states, "The system does not contain software/firmware."

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for spinal fusion. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant designed to be placed between vertebrae. It is made of materials like PEEK and titanium and is intended to facilitate bone fusion.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical tests evaluating the physical properties and performance of the implant itself, not diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

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

The predicate system, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (K131350), was subjected to the following mechanical testing as recommended in the special controls guidance document, "Class II Special Controls Guidance: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device".
Therefore most of those tests were not repeated, since the size offerings and footprints of the coated implants are the same as the uncoated:

  • ASTM F2077- Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
  • . Expulsion testing as recommended by FDA
  • ASTM F2267-04 Test Methods for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Under Static Axial Compression

For the proposed Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (with titanium plasma coated implants) testing was performed in order to demonstrate that the new titanium plasma coated implants perform as well as or better than the predicate device, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (K131350). The tests that were performed are:

  • . ASTM F2077 Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices: Dynamic Compression Shear
  • Expulsion Testing as recommended by the FDA
  • ASTM F1877 Standard Practice for Characterization of Particles.

The results of the testing demonstrate that the addition of the medical grade commercially pure titanium plasma coating does not present a new worst case, and does not impact the performance of the implants.

The proposed expansion of the indications for use, i.e. the addition of the use of allograft, does not impact the mechanical performance of the Calix® Lumbar Titanium Plasma Coated implants, and does not introduce new risks. Allograft has been 510k cleared for a large number of spinal implants that formerly were cleared only for autograft.

The implants are available with or without a medical grade commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) plasma coating (per ASTM F1580) on the superior and inferior surfaces of the device.

The hollow center of the implant allows the device to be packed with bone graft: autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft,

The single use implants are supplied in several width, height and lordosis options to accommodate variations in patient anatomy and differing pathologies. The devices contain radiographic markers made from tantalum per ASTM F560 to aid in final placement verification. Plasma coated implants are provided clean and sterile. Nonplasma coated implants and instruments are provided non-sterile. All implants are intended for single use only, and should not be reused under any circumstances.

The system does not contain software/firmware.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICES VIII.

The technological principle for both the subject and primary predicate device is fixation at one or two contiguous levels (L2—S1 inclusive) in the lumbosacral spine for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease.

Primary Predicate Device:

The subject device, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System and the primary predicate device, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (K131350) are based on the following technological elements:

  • o Same FDA Product Code: MAX -- Intervertebral Body Fusion Device, Lumbar with Bone Graft.
  • Same implant materials: Invibio PEEK-Optima™ LT1 with tantalum markers. o
  • Equivalent Indications for Use. O
  • Multiple lengths, widths, and heights to account for variations in patient O anatomy. Same range of sizes of devices offered.
  • Same anatomical region: one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1 inclusive). O
  • Same surgical approaches: Anterior, posterior, and/or transforaminal. O
  • Mechanical performance. O

The subject device has two additional technological elements:

  • Expansion of the Indications for Use to include the use of allograft comprised O of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft.
  • Addition of medical-grade titanium plasma coating (CP Ti) per ASTM F1580 o on the superior and inferior surfaces of the implants.

6

Additional Predicate Devices:

  • . NuVasive CoRoent Ti-C System (K160916) has the same technological elements that are listed above for the subject device and the primary predicate device. It also has the two additional technological elements that are listed referenced above, allograft and titanium plasma coating.
  • Biomet Zyston Straight Interbody Spacer System (K112014) has similar technological elements to the Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System. It is included in this 510k for comparison of performance data.

Reference Devices:

  • NuVasive Lumbar Interbody Implants (K161230)
  • Alphatec Spine: Battalion Universal Spacer System (K160958)
  • Globus Medical: Independence MIS Spacers (K160597)
  • . NuVasive® Lumbar Interbody Implants (K153782)

The above reference devices have been 510k cleared with the same or similar technological elements as included in the Calix subject device:

  • Indications for Use including allograft along with autograft
  • . Anatomical region of one or two contiguous levels (L2—S1 inclusive)
  • MAX product code
  • Implant materials of PEEK and/or Titanium Alloy
  • . Coated with medical grade commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) plasma coating

Additional Reference Device:

  • . X-spine Calix™ Cervical PC Spinal Implant System (K112036) is included because it is an intervertebral body fusion device that is CP-Ti plasma coated PEEK, and manufactured using the same materials and same processes as the proposed devices in this submission.

IX. PERFORMANCE DATA

The predicate system, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (K131350), was subjected to the following mechanical testing as recommended in the special controls guidance document, "Class II Special Controls Guidance: Intervertebral Body Fusion Device".

7

Therefore most of those tests were not repeated, since the size offerings and footprints of the coated implants are the same as the uncoated:

  • ASTM F2077- Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
  • . Expulsion testing as recommended by FDA
  • ASTM F2267-04 Test Methods for Measuring Load Induced Subsidence of Intervertebral Body Fusion Device Under Static Axial Compression

For the proposed Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (with titanium plasma coated implants) testing was performed in order to demonstrate that the new titanium plasma coated implants perform as well as or better than the predicate device, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System (K131350). The tests that were performed are:

  • . ASTM F2077 Test Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices: Dynamic Compression Shear
  • Expulsion Testing as recommended by the FDA
  • ASTM F1877 Standard Practice for Characterization of Particles.

The results of the testing demonstrate that the addition of the medical grade commercially pure titanium plasma coating does not present a new worst case, and does not impact the performance of the implants.

The proposed expansion of the indications for use, i.e. the addition of the use of allograft, does not impact the mechanical performance of the Calix® Lumbar Titanium Plasma Coated implants, and does not introduce new risks. Allograft has been 510k cleared for a large number of spinal implants that formerly were cleared only for autograft.

X. CONCLUSION

The subject device, Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System, has been modified to expand the Indications for Use, and to add medical grade commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) plasma coated versions of the original Calix® Lumbar implants. Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the subject Calix® Lumbar Spinal Implant System demonstrates substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.
