Intended Use
The Fortitude Cement Restrictor System is intended for use as a cement restrictor in orthopedic surgeries such as those involving the femoral canal and tibial plateau in hip stem and total knee replacement. This device is not intended for use in spinal applications.
Device Description
The Fortitude Cement Restrictor is a hollow, titanium allov device with teeth on two opposing flat sides. The device comes in various sizes and is offered in straight and tapered styles. The device is used to hold bone cement (PMMA) in the distal diaphyseal canal in patients requiring a cemented arthroplasty device.
More Information

No
The summary describes a purely mechanical device used to restrict bone cement and makes no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a "cement restrictor" used in orthopedic surgeries to hold bone cement, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device description states it is a "cement restrictor" used to "hold bone cement (PMMA) in the distal diaphyseal canal in patients requiring a cemented arthroplasty device." Its purpose is to physically restrict cement during orthopedic surgery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hollow, titanium alloy device," indicating it is a physical hardware component, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Fortitude Cement Restrictor System is a physical device implanted during orthopedic surgery to restrict bone cement. It does not perform any tests on biological samples. Its function is purely mechanical within the surgical procedure.

Therefore, the description clearly indicates a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Hooper:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA) application. You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's package insert and also as a Warning on the product label:

WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY SPINAL INDICATIONS.

THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS DEVICE WHEN IMPLANTED IN THE SPINE HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement above is added to your labeling, as described.

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

If vou desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659.
