Intended Use
The Merete ToeMobile™ Anatomical Great Toe Resurfacing System is a two-piece implant that is intended to be used as prosthesis for the metatarso-phalangeal joint. The device is intended for cemented use only. Indications for use include: - Painful degenerative metatarso-phalangeal joint change - Hallux rigidus stage 3 and 4 - Hallux valgus and hallux rigidus - Hallux limitus with painful arthrofibrosis - Revisions- after moderate proximal phalanx resection
Device Description
The Merete ToeMobile™ Anatomical Great Toe Resurfacing System is a two-piece prosthesis that replaces the metatarso-phalangeal joint by complete functional preservation of the joint and maintaining of the sesamoid complex. The prosthesis consists of an anatomically shaped and polished metatarsal implant, made of CoCrMo, which glides on a polyethylene inlay that is preassembled on a conically shaped phalangeal component made of titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V. Metatarsal and Phalangeal implant are intended for cemented use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant for joint replacement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a prosthesis intended to treat painful degenerative metatarso-phalangeal joint changes, hallux rigidus, and hallux valgus, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as an implantable prosthesis used to replace a joint, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a two-piece implant made of CoCrMo, polyethylene, and titanium alloy, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The Merete ToeMobile™ Anatomical Great Toe Resurfacing System is an implantable prosthesis. It is surgically placed inside the body to replace a joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace a joint and address painful conditions of the metatarso-phalangeal joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological samples.
