No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and material of the screw hole plugs, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described as a plug for tibial tray screw holes to prevent bone cement intrusion, not to treat or diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device is described as a plug intended to occlude screw holes in a tibial tray to prevent bone cement intrusion. This is a mechanical function and does not involve diagnosing a condition, disease, or injury.
No
The device description explicitly states the plugs are manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, indicating a physical hardware component.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The described device, Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs, is a physical implant used during surgery to occlude screw holes in a tibial tray (part of a knee replacement). Its function is mechanical and related to the surgical procedure itself, not the analysis of biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is to "occlude all tibial tray screw holes not occupied by bone screws" and "help prevent intrusion of bone cement." This is a surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
The information provided about the device's material, design, and predicate device further reinforces that it is a surgical implant, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the new Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plug is the same as that of the predicate device described in premarket notification K970779 -- to occlude all tibial tray screw holes not occupied by bone screws. The Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs are factory assembled to the tibial tray screw holes. Intraoperatively, the surgeon will remove the plugs from whichever screw holes will be filled with a bone screw. By occluding the tibial tray screw holes, the Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs helps prevent intrusion of bone cement onto the tibial tray.

Device Description
The subject Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs are a line extension to the existing Howmedica Osteonics Tibial Tray Screw Hole plugs found substantially equivalent in premarket notification K970779. The predicate Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs are fabricated from low-density polyethylene, and are circular in design. The subject Tibial Tray Screw Hole Plugs are manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, and incorporate a tapered design, with a flat bottom with a lip, tapering to a flat top surface.

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
