Intended Use
CEMEX SYSTEM bone cement is intended to be used for the fixation of plastic and metal joint prostheses to host bone. CEMEX SYSTEM 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 individual chemical constituents in Cemex System Fast bone cement 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. The only difference is that the predicate Cemex System has a 2.7:1 powder-toliquid ratio compared to the 2.4:1 ratio the new Cemex System Fast product. The powder-to-liguid ratio reduction results in a quicker setting time 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 technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is a bone cement used for the fixation of joint prostheses to host bone in various orthopedic procedures, which directly addresses a medical condition or disability.

No

The device is a bone cement used for fixation of prostheses, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines the chemical constituents 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 joint prostheses to bone during surgical procedures. This is a direct application within the body (in vivo).
  • Device Description: The device is a bone cement, a material used to physically bond prostheses 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 outside the body to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes. This bone cement is used inside the body for a structural purpose.

Special 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

GENERAL DESCRIPTION -- Substantial Equivalency Information

The individual chemical constituents in Cemex System Fast bone cement 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. The only difference is that the predicate Cemex System has a 2.7:1 powder-toliquid ratio compared to the 2.4:1 ratio the new Cemex System Fast product. The powder-to-liguid ratio reduction results in a quicker setting time to accommodate various application techniques.

PACKAGING

The Cemex System Fast has identical packaging as the predicate CEMEX System. The product is contained in a double blister pack sealed with Tyvek® lids. The outer packaging is a heavy weight cardboard box.

MIXING & APPLICATION

Use of Cemex System Fast bone cement takes place in two consecutive stages. During the first stage, the glass ampoule containing the liquid monomer is broken to allow the component to flow into the chamber containing the powdered constituents. The device is then used as a closed manual mixing device. Mixing is accomplished by firmly striking the device against the palm of the hand and rotating at each strike. Because no direct contact is made between the components and the user, volitile release into the local environment and possibility of contamination is minimized. In the second stage, the container is attached to an application gun device and used as a syringe while the cement is still in a semi-fluid state. The transparency of the mixing device provides for preliminary inspection of the suitability of the cement components and the visualization of the mixing and application stages as required by ISO 5833. Detailed instructions for use and precaution/warning information is outlined in the instruction leaflet provided with the product.

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.
