Intended Use
When used with or without the CONDUIT™ Lateral Switch Plate, the EIT Cellular Titanium® LLIF Cage is indicated for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. The EIT Cellular Titanium® LLIF Cage with a microscopic roughened surface and micro and nano-scale features 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). These spinal implants are to be used with autogenous bone graft and/or allogeneve bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft. EIT Spine LLIF is to be used with supplemental fixation. Patients should have at least six (6) months of non-operative treatment with an intervertebral cage.
Device Description
The CONDUIT™ Lateral Switch Plate ("Plate") is an optional device that connects to the EIT Cellular Titanium® LLIF Cage ("Cage") and adjacent vertebral body(s) to provide additional migration resistance and stability via DePuy Synthes AEGIS Screws ("Screws"). The subject device is not considered to be supplemental fixation. Both the Plate and Screws are manufactured from ASTM F136 titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI). The Plate is supplied sterile in one- and two-hole configurations in a variety of sizes to attach to one or both adjacent vertebral bodies.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical spinal implant and an optional plate, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML. The performance studies are mechanical and biological, not related to data analysis or image processing.

Yes
The device is an intervertebral body fusion cage intended for use in treating degenerative disc disease, which explicitly states its purpose in treating a medical condition.

No

This device is an implantable medical device (LLIF Cage, a spinal implant for intervertebral body fusion) used in treatment, not for diagnosing conditions. The indication for use mentions "degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies," implying that diagnosis is performed externally, not by the device itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (cage and plate) made of titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation in the lumbar spine. It also describes mechanical and biological testing, which are relevant to physical devices, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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 and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a spinal implant (a cage and an optional plate) intended for surgical implantation in the lumbar spine to facilitate intervertebral body fusion. It is a physical device used within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the EIT Cellular Titanium® LLIF Cage and the CONDUIT™ Lateral Switch Plate are medical devices, specifically surgical implants, and not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear LiJuan He:

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
