K140348 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the INTERBODY CAGE. Classified as Intervertebral Fusion Device With Bone Graft, Lumbar within the MAX classification (a category for intervertebral fusion devices and spinal implants), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Eisertech, LLC (San Diego, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 23, 2015 after a review of 436 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3080 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Orthopedic submissions.
