No
The summary describes a bone cement and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used in orthopedic surgery to secure the fixation of an artificial joint, which directly contributes to the treatment and improvement of a medical condition (total joint arthroplasty after infection).

No
Explanation: The device description states that PALAMED® G is an acrylic bone cement used to secure the fixation of grafted artificial joints, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is an acrylic bone cement, which is a physical material used in surgery, 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 securing the fixation of an artificial joint in orthopedic surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is an acrylic bone cement used to fix an implant to bone. This is a material used in vivo during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro for diagnostic purposes. This device is clearly intended for use in vivo during surgery.

§ 888.3027 Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement.

(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.”

Dear Dr. Tuchscherer:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 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.
