Intended Use

When used as a cervical intervertebral body fusion device, the Lanx Intervertebral Body/VBR Fusion System ("Lanx Fusion System") is intended for spinal fusion procedures to be used with autogenous bone graft in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease ("DDD") at one spinal level from the C2-C3 disc to the C7-T1 disc. DDD is defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had at least six weeks of non-operative treatment. The Lanx Cervical Intervertebral Body Fusion System is to be implanted via an anterior approach and is to be combined with supplemental fixation. Approved supplemental fixation systems include the Lanx Anterior Cervical Plate System. When used as a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device, the Lanx Intervertebral Body/VBR Fusion System ("Lanx Fusion System") 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 Fusion System is to be combined with supplemental fixation (except as noted below). Approved supplemental fixation systems include the Lanx Spinal Fixation System. The Lanx SA standalone interbody implants, when implanted via an anterior approach and used with the integrated fixation screws, do not require use of supplemental fixation. The Lanx Lateral-SA implants are to be used with supplemental fixation. When used as vertebral body replacement, the Lanx Intervertebral Body/VBR Fusion System ("Lanx Fusion System") is indicated for use to replace a vertebral body that has been resected or excised due to tumor or trauma/fracture. The device is intended for use as a vertebral body replacement in the thoracolumbar spine (from T1 to L5) The Lanx Vertebral Body Replacement System 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 Vertebral Body Replacement System is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The Lanx Vertebral Body Replacement System 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 comprises PEEK and titanium alloy implants for spinal fusion and vertebral body replacement. Implants feature hollow centers for autogenous bone graft and transverse grooves for stability; integrated fixation screws used in specific standalone configurations. System implanted by surgeons via anterior approach to restore biomechanical integrity of spinal column. Output is structural support for fusion or vertebral replacement. Benefits include stabilization of diseased/damaged spinal segments, decompression of neural tissues, and restoration of vertebral height. Device is non-sterile; requires supplemental fixation for most indications, except specific SA standalone implants.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per ASTM F2077 (static/dynamic compression, compression shear, torsion), ASTM draft Z8423Z (expulsion), and ASTM F1877 (wear debris). Results demonstrate modified components perform comparably to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: PEEK (ASTM F2026) and Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, ASTM F136). Tantalum markers (ASTM F560). Design: Hollowed implants with transverse grooves; integrated fixation screws. Non-sterile. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) requiring spinal fusion at one cervical level (C2-T1) or one/two contiguous lumbar levels (L2-S1); also indicated for vertebral body replacement (T1-L5) following resection/excision due to tumor or trauma/fracture. Contraindications include patients not skeletally mature or those without sufficient bone quality for fusion.

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.

#### Device Description & Technological Characteristics

The Lanx Fusion System devices are made of PEEK (OPTIMA®) per ASTM F2026 and/or Titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V ELI) per ASTM F136. The PEEK components include Tantalum markers per ASTM F560. The implant has a hollowed out area to accommodate bone graft, and transverse grooves to improve fixation and stability. Additional fixation and stability is provided by screws which are made from an implant grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) meeting the requirements of ASTM F136. It is available in a variety of different sizes to accommodate anatomical variation in different vertebral levels and/or patient anatomy. The purpose of this submission is to expand the available plate options for the Lanx Lateral-SA implants. The Lanx Fusion System is provided non-sterile.

#### Performance Data

Performance testing and engineering analysis was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Performance testing included tests per ASTM F2077 (static and dynamic compression, static compression shear, static torsion), ASTM draft expulsion testing standard Z8423Z (expulsion tests), and ASTM F1877 (wear debris). In all instances, the modified device met or exceeded predicate device performance, functioned as intended and therefore demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

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

#### Substantial Equivalence

The modified Lanx Fusion System implants included in the product line extension have the same intended use, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared Lanx Fusion System devices (K123767). The minor differences in the new components do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data presented also demonstrated comparable properties to the previously cleared Lanx Fusion system devices. Thus, the modified device has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
