Intended Use
The Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage are intended for intervertebral body fusion with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. DDD is defined as back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). These patients should be skeletally mature and have completed six months of non-operative treatment. Additionally, the Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage can be used as an adjunct to fusion in patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. The Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage are always to be used with supplemental internal spinal fixation. Additionally, the Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage are to be used with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft when the subject device is used as an adjunct to fusion.
Device Description
The purpose of this submission is to introduce an expandable posterior lumbar cage intended for use as an aid in lumbar spinal fixation. The expandable Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and the Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage (also referred to as Tritanium X Cages) are Intervertebral Body Fusion Cages intended for use as an aid in lumbar spinal fixation. The TL cages are crescent shaped, and the PL cages are straight shaped. These cages consist of a unique configuration of both solid and porous structures that are simultaneously built using Laser Rapid Manufacturing (LRM) method applying Stryker's proprietary Tritanium® In-Growth Technology. The cage is offered in a variety of lengths, heights, widths and lordotic angles to adapt to a variety of patient anatomies. It has serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces designed for multidirectional fixation and to maximize surface area for endplate contact with the implant. The implants have a smooth, tapered leading edge to facilitate cage insertion into the intervertebral space. The implants have graft windows spanning endplate to endplate for graft containment and to aid in fusion throughout the interbody cage. The implant is designed to be used with supplemental fixation cleared for use in the lumbosacral spine. The Tritanium X cages are constructed from Titanium alloy: Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F1472-08), Stainless Steel: 316 LVM (ASTM F138-08), and Silicone Rubber, and are provided sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device for spinal fusion and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "Intervertebral Body Fusion Cage" intended for use "as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD)" and "degenerative scoliosis." These uses indicate its role in treating medical conditions, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is an intervertebral body fusion cage, which is an implant used for surgical treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions. The "Indications for Use" section clearly states its purpose as an "adjunct to fusion" in patients already diagnosed with degenerative disc disease or scoliosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implantable cage made of titanium alloy, stainless steel, and silicone rubber, intended for spinal fixation. It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Tritanium® X PL Expandable Posterior Lumbar Cage and Tritanium® X TL Expandable Curved Posterior Lumbar Cage are implants intended for intervertebral body fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis. They are surgically placed within the body to aid in spinal fixation.
  • No Mention of Specimen Analysis: The text does not mention any analysis of biological specimens or any diagnostic function performed outside of the body.

Therefore, this device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Deirdre Jayko:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
