K171151 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ACRON™ TLIF System. 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 Spinemed Ges.M.B.H (Wien, AT). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 27, 2018 after a review of 372 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.
