Intended Use

The CoreLink® M3™ Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System is a standalone interbody fusion system indicated for use 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 radios. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The device may be used with supplemental fixation.

Hyperlordotic implants (>20° lordosis) must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. The system is indicated to be used with autograft bone. Patients should have received 6 months of non- operative treatment prior to treatment with the devices.

The implants are intended to be used with the bone screws and lock provided. The system is designed to be a 3-screw implant, and all three (3) screws must be used. The accompanying lock must be used anytime the device is used with any number of screws. If the physician chooses to use less than the recommended number, then additional supplemental fixation in the lumbar spine must be used to augment fixation.

Device Description

The CoreLink® M3™ Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System is available in a variety of different shapes and sizes to suit the individual pathology and anatomical conditions of the patient. The CoreLink® M3TM Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System consists of an interbody cage, locking plate, and three (3) bone screws. System components are manufactured from either titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 or additively manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F3001. The 8°, 15°, and 20° lordotic cages may be used as a standalone system. The M3 Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System M3 Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System 25° - 30° lordotic cages must be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation systems (i.e. posterior pedicle screw and rod system) that are cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding the CoreLink® M3™ Stand-Alone Anterior Lumbar System. It does not describe an AI/ML medical device and therefore does not contain information typically associated with acceptance criteria and study designs for such devices (e.g., performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity, ground truth establishment by experts, or MRMC studies).

The "performance data" section refers to non-clinical mechanical testing of the interbody fusion device, not performance related to algorithms or human reader improvement.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as the provided text does not contain the necessary information about AI/ML device performance, acceptance criteria, or related study details.

§ 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.
