Intended Use
The Biopro devices are intended to resurface the joint in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post fracture deformation or bone loss which presents themselves as either a painful, instable thumb or a thumb with limited range of motion.
Device Description
The Biopro Modular Thumb prosthesis has been designed for dysfunction associated with advanced degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis of the thumb carpo-metacarpal joint. The implant is modular and is made available in 3 combinations a neutral a +2mm and +4mm length of 4 head dimensions (12mm-15mm in one millimeter increments) and 4 stem sizes (7.5mm, 8.5mm, 10.0mm and 11.0mm). The tri-flanged and partially porecoated stem provides an immobile press-fitted fixation within the medullary canal. The varus angle of the implant assures the implant remains in contact with the trapezium throughout range of motion, reducing the risk for dislocation. The stem is anatomically configured in the sagital plane to fit the curvature of the metacarpal canal. The head is slightly medialized and is at a 15-20 degree varus angle. The head articulates against the trapezium after a spherical concavity is burred into the trapezium to match the radius of the head.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of a prosthetic joint, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is intended to resurface the joint in cases of various forms of arthritis or bone loss, and to address painful, unstable thumb or thumb with limited range of motion, which are conditions that therapeutic devices aim to treat or alleviate.

No.
The device description indicates that the Biopro Modular Thumb prosthesis is an implant designed to replace the thumb carpo-metacarpal joint, and its intended use is to resurface the joint in cases of arthritis or bone loss. These are therapeutic and restorative functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, modular thumb prosthesis made of materials like titanium, intended for surgical implantation. This is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant intended to replace a joint in the thumb. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "resurface the joint" and address issues like pain, instability, and limited range of motion. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

Therefore, based on the description and intended use, the Biopro Modular Thumb prosthesis is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Biopro Modular Thumb Implant

The Biopro Modular Thumb prosthesis has been designed for dysfunction associated with advanced degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis of the thumb carpo-metacarpal joint. The implant is modular and is made available in 3 combinations a neutral a +2mm and +4mm length of 4 head dimensions (12mm-15mm in one millimeter increments) and 4 stem sizes (7.5mm, 8.5mm, 10.0mm and 11.0mm). The tri-flanged and partially porecoated stem provides an immobile press-fitted fixation within the medullary canal. The varus angle of the implant assures the implant remains in contact with the trapezium throughout range of motion, reducing the risk for dislocation. The stem is anatomically configured in the sagital plane to fit the curvature of the metacarpal canal. The head is slightly medialized and is at a 15-20 degree varus angle. The head articulates against the trapezium after a spherical concavity is burred into the trapezium to match the radius of the head.

The Biopro devices are intended to resurface the joint in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post fracture deformation or bone loss which presents themselves as either a painful, instable thumb or a thumb with limited range of motion. These indications are the same as those for the predicated device, the Swanson Titanium Condylar Implant. The components function the same, they both resurface the joint to provide pain relief and increase motion in the joint. However, the Biopro implant has interchangeable heads. This allows for flexibility during surgery. Combinations of the heads and stems can be created to match the patients anatomy. There are 48 possible combinations of head and stem assemblies. The modularity allows for better matching to the metacarpal and trapezium for size, it also allows the surgeon to properly tension the joint due to the multiple head lengths, reducing the risk of dislocation and requiring less remodeling of the patients anatomy.

The implant is sold in a sterile condition. The sterilization method used is Ethylene Oxide.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Biopro Modular Thumb implant is claimed to be substantially equivalent to the Swanson Titanium Condylar Implant (K864488). Both devices resurface the proximal end of the first metacarpal. They have intramedullary stems with a head that acts as a joint spacer. The heads articulate against the distal end of the trapezium which is remodeled to contain the shape of the implant head. The Biopro device is a two piece design and the Swanson is a one piece design. The Biopro device is made of cobalt chrome while the Swanson device is made from unalloyed titanium.

The differences between the subject device and the predicate device follow: First the head diameters are larger for the BIOPRO device than the Swanson components. This provides a wider range of motion for the joint. With the Biopro device, the remodeling of the trapezium is continued into the second metacarpal to prevent impingement of the implant against the bone. Also the cross-section of the stems are different. Both are intended to prevent rotation of the device. however, the Swanson stem is square while the Biopro stem is tri-flanged. The Biopro stem is also anatomically shaped to fit the curvature of the medullary canal in the sagital plane
