Intended Use
The WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant is indicated for the following indications: - Replacement of the distal ulnar head for disorders of the distal radioulnar joint in rheumatoid, degenerative and post-traumatic arthritis presenting with the following findings: - -pain and weakness of the wrist joint not improved by nonoperative treatment; - -instability of the ulnar head with radiographic evidence of dislocation or erosive changes of the distal radioulnar joint; - -failed ulnar head resection; e.g. Darrach resection - Primary replacement after fracture of the ulnar head or neck. - Revision following failed ulnar head arthroplasty.
Device Description
The design features of the WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant (Figure 1) is substantially equivalent to the Avanta uHead™ modular ulnar head implant (previously submitted and cleared under AVANTA ULNAR HEAD IMPLANT -- 510(k): K010786). The WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant was designed as a more anatomic alternative to the previously submitted and cleared Avanta uHead™ modular ulnar head implant (previously submitted and cleared under AVANTA ULNAR HEAD IMPLANT – 510(k): K010786) that utilizes axisymmetric head and stem components. The anatomy of the distal ulna is not axisymmetric, but rather consists of a head that is offset medial-lateral and dorsal-volar from the ulnar canal. Cadaveric analysis has shown that there is no correlation between head and stem location, thus a system where the head is offset relative to the stem is required to replicate normal anatomy and thus, joint kinematics. The WMT Modular Ulnar Head is manufactured from cobalt chrome (ASTM F799 or F1537). The triangulated head will have a highly polished exterior surface across the articulating arc and distal surface, and will have a plasma sprayed textured surface laterally for tissue adhesion. The heads will be available in sizes ranging from 16mm to 22mm in diameter, 8mm to 11mm in height, and 1.5mm to 3mm in offset. The WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant will contain suture holes for attaching soft tissues and a locking taper mechanism for engaging the modular head onto the stem. The WMT Modular Ulnar Stem is manufactured from titanium (ASTM F136). The stems will be available in a standard and revision option: the standard stem will be tapered 4.5° to match the anatomical canal geometry while the revision stem will have a 1º taper to match proximal canal geometry. Each stem option will be available in distal diameters ranging from 5.5mm to 8mm and in two lengths: a standard length will have a 1mm platform and 25mm stem, and the extended length will have a 20mm platform and a 50mm stem. The stems will be fluted and will have a heavy grit blast finish over entire part except for the taper.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of a modular ulnar head implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is an implant designed to replace the distal ulnar head for various medical conditions, including arthritis and fractures, to alleviate pain and improve joint function, which are therapeutic actions.

No

This device is an implant designed for replacement of the distal ulnar head, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of cobalt chrome and titanium, with specific dimensions and manufacturing processes. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing the distal ulnar head to treat various conditions of the wrist joint. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of cobalt chrome and titanium, designed to be surgically implanted into the bone. This is consistent with a medical device for surgical use, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or diagnostic procedures.

Therefore, the WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A wrist joint ulnar (hemi-wrist) polymer prosthesis is a mushroom-shaped device made of a medical grade silicone elastomer or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene intended to be implanted into the intramedullary canal of the bone and held in place by a suture. Its purpose is to cover the resected end of the distal ulna to control bone overgrowth and to provide an articular surface for the radius and carpus.(b)
Classification. Class II.

The WMT Modular Ulnar Head Implant was designed as a more anatomic alternative to the previously submitted and cleared Avanta uHead™ modular ulnar head implant (previously submitted and cleared under AVANTA ULNAR HEAD IMPLANT – 510(k): K010786) that utilizes axisymmetric head and stem components. The anatomy of the distal ulna is not axisymmetric, but rather consists of a head that is offset medial-lateral and dorsal-volar from the ulnar canal. Cadaveric analysis has shown that there is no correlation between head and stem location, thus a system where the head is offset relative to the stem is required to replicate normal anatomy and thus, joint kinematics.

The triangulated head will have a highly polished exterior surface across the articulating arc and distal surface, and will have a plasma sprayed textured surface laterally for tissue adhesion. The heads will be available in sizes ranging from 16mm to 22mm in diameter, 8mm to 11mm in height, and 1.5mm to 3mm in offset.
