Intended Use

When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Lanx Fusion System -Lateral ("Lanx Lateral") is intended for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one or two contiguous spinal levels from L2-S1. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may have had a previous non-fusion spinal surgery at the involved spinal level(s), and may have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the involved level(s). The Lanx Lateral is to be combined with supplemental fixation. Approved supplemental fixation systems include the Lanx Spinal Fixation System. When used as vertebral body replacement, the Lanx·Fusion System - Lateral ("Lanx Lateral") is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised due to tumor or traumalfracture. The device is intended for use as a vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (from T1 to L5) The Lanx Lateral may also be used in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e.. T1- L5) for partial replacement (i.e., partial vertebrectomy) of a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors in order to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Lanx Lateral is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Lanx Lateral is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column. For either indication the system must be used with supplemental internal fixation. Supplemental internal fixation is required to properly utilize this system.

Device Story

Lanx Fusion System - Lateral is a spinal implant system for intervertebral body fusion or vertebral body replacement. Implants are hollowed to accommodate autogenous bone graft and feature transverse grooves for stability. Used in thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) for DDD, tumors, or fractures. Requires supplemental internal fixation. Implanted by surgeons during spinal procedures to restore biomechanical integrity, decompress neural tissues, and facilitate fusion. Benefits include height restoration and spinal stabilization.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated per ASTM F2077 and ASTM Draft Z8423Z. Results met all acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK (OPTIMA) per ASTM F2026; Tantalum markers per ASTM F560. Design: Hollowed body for bone graft, transverse grooves for fixation. Provided non-sterile. Mechanical testing per ASTM F2077 and ASTM Draft Z8423Z.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at 1-2 contiguous levels (L2-S1) with discogenic pain, 6 months failed non-operative treatment, potential prior non-fusion surgery, and up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis/retrolisthesis. Also indicated for vertebral body replacement (T1-L5) following resection/excision due to tumor or trauma/fracture, and for treating thoracic/lumbar fractures. Requires supplemental internal fixation.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Special Controls

*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.

# Technological Characteristics

This submission is intended to seek clearance for the Lanx Fusion System - Lateral ("Lanx Lateral"). The product line includes the Lanx Lateral implant models which include the addition of new footprints and configurations.

All devices in the Lanx Lateral are made of PEEK (OPTIMA®) per ASTM F2026. The PEEK components include Tantalum markers per ASTM F560. The Lanx Lateral has a hollowed out area to accommodate autogenous bone graft, and transverse grooves to improve fixation and stability. It is available in a variety of different sizes to accommodate anatomical variation in different vertebral levels and/or patient anatomy. The Lanx Lateral is provided non-sterile.

The devices in this product line have the same or similar intended use and indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the current Lanx Fusion System. The minor difference between the predicate devices and the devices in this product line do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Mechanical testing and engineering analysis demonstrated comparable mechanical properties to the predicate device.

# Performance Data

Performance testing was conducted per ASTM F2077 and ASTM Draft Z8423Z. In all instances, the Lanx Lateral met acceptance criteria and functioned as intended.

# Substantial Equivalence

{2}------------------------------------------------

The devices included in this product line have the same or similar intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as previously cleared Lanx Intervertebral Body/VBR Fusion Device (K083815). Performance data demonstrate that these devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness; hence it is as safe and effective as its predicate devices. Thus, the devices are substantially equivalent.
