Intended Use
INTENDED USE: CEMEX bone cement is intended to be used for the fixation of plastic and metal joint prostheses to host bone. INDICATIONS FOR USE: CEMEX bone cement is indicated for the fixation of prostheses to bone in orthopaedic musculoskeletal procedures for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, tramatic arthritis, congenital deformities, avascular necrosis, post-traumatic degenerative problems of the joint, sickle cell anemia, osteoporosis, collagen disease and for the revision of previous arthroplasty procedures.
Device Description
The chemical constituents in CEMEX RX, ISOPLASTIC, and XL bone cements are identical to those in the predicate CEMEX SYSTEM cement (#K000943). The liquid component contains methylmethacrylate, N-N dimethyl p-toluidine, and hydroquinone. The dry powder component contains polymethylmethacrylate, barium sulphate and benzoyl peroxide. Like the predicate CEMEX SYSTEM Bone Cement (#K000943), the ratio between the powder and liquid components of the proposed cements is 3:1. The proportion of each ingredient in the ISOPLASTIC and RX models varies slightly from the predicate model. The XL bone cement formulation is identical to that of CEMEX SYSTEM (#K000943). The differences result in a range of viscosities to accommodate various application techniques.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the chemical composition and physical properties of bone cement, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device, CEMEX bone cement, is intended for the fixation of plastic and metal joint prostheses to host bone, which is a therapeutic purpose to treat various orthopedic conditions.

No

The Intended Use and Indications for Use sections describe the device as a bone cement for fixing prostheses, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines chemical constituents and physical properties of a bone cement, which is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fixation of plastic and metal joint prostheses to host bone." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a bone cement, a material used to physically attach implants to bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This bone cement is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

(a)
Identification. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.”

CONTRAINDICATIONS

CEMEX bone cement is contraindicated in the presence of active or incompletely treated infection which could involve the site where the cement is to be applied. CEMEX bone cement is contraindicated where the loss of musculature or neuromuscular compromise in the affected limb would render the surgical procedure unjustifiable. CEMEX bone cement is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to any of its components.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION - Substantial Equivalency Information

The chemical constituents in CEMEX RX, ISOPLASTIC, and XL bone cements are identical to those in the predicate CEMEX SYSTEM cement (#K000943). The liquid component contains methylmethacrylate, N-N dimethyl p-toluidine, and hydroquinone. The dry powder component contains polymethylmethacrylate, barium sulphate and benzoyl peroxide. Like the predicate CEMEX SYSTEM Bone Cement (#K000943), the ratio between the powder and liquid components of the proposed cements is 3:1.

The proportion of each ingredient in the ISOPLASTIC and RX models varies slightly from the predicate model. The XL bone cement formulation is identical to that of CEMEX SYSTEM (#K000943). The differences result in a range of viscosities to accommodate various application techniques.

Cemex XL. RX and ISO bone cements are also similar to other competitive cement products including "Simplex P" by Howmedica, "CMW 3" by Dow Corning Wright, "Dough" by Zimmer, and "Palacos R" by Smith & Nephew. Several of the predicate devices are indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures but Cemex bone cements are not indicated for this application.

PACKAGING

The liquid monomer component is contained in a trumpet shaped amber glass vial. The powder component is contained in a paper polyethylene (PE) film sachet. The product is packaged in unitary blister pack with Tyvek® lids. The outer packaging is a heavy weight cardboard box.

STERILITY ASSURANCE

The powdered component is sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO) to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10°. The liquid component is sterilized by a membrane filtration technique to a SAL of 10-3.
