Intended Use

PALABOND 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.

Device Description

Palabond® is an acrylic bone cement for use in orthopedic surgery. It is formed from powder and liquid by exothermic polymerization. It secures the fixation of the grafted artificial joint improving the transfer of forces at the interface implant-bone.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Palabond bone cement. It does not describe an AI medical device or a study involving acceptance criteria for AI performance. Instead, it focuses on the substantial equivalence of Palabond to an existing bone cement (Palacos R) based on chemical identity and mechanical performance.

Therefore, I cannot extract the information requested about acceptance criteria, study details, ground truth, or training sets for an AI device from this document.

The document indicates:

  • Device Trade Name: PALABOND®
  • Classification Name: Bone Cement
  • Intended Use: Fixation of prostheses in the bone (partial or total hip joint replacement at the hip, knee or other joints).
  • Comparison: Palabond® is chemically identical to Palacos® R, with the only difference being the addition of bigger particles (granules) of copolymer to the powder.
  • Performance Claim: The mechanical performance is equivalent (see test report).

The "test report" mentioned in the last point would contain the actual mechanical performance data and acceptance criteria used to establish equivalence, but this report is not included in the provided text.

Dear Dr. K.D. Kuhn:

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 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 application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

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 be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
