Intended Use
The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis is indicated for pediatric patients who have not achieved full skeletal maturity (open epiphysis), where radical resection and replacement of the distal femur and or/proximal tibia is required with the following conditions: - . Oncology indications - Severe trauma . - . Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis - . Correction of functional deformity - . Rheumatoid arthritis - . Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed The devices are single use implants intended only for implantation with bone cement. Compatible components of the GMRS, MRH, MRS, and KRH when used with the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis are intended for use in pediatric patients for the abovementioned indications.
Device Description
The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System provides a means to reconstruct large bone defects resulting from bone resection in skeletally immature patients. The device can be expanded as a patient grows so that leg-length equality can be achieved. The device utilizes a rotating hinge design. The expansion process is mechanical and is conducted with subsequent minimally invasive procedures following the initial implantation surgery.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical expansion and a rotating hinge design. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making in the provided text.

Yes
The device is a prosthesis intended to reconstruct large bone defects and allow for expansion as a patient grows, which directly addresses a medical condition (bone defects, trauma, arthritis, etc.) and improves anatomical function.

No
The device is a prosthetic implant used for reconstruction of bone defects, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System" which is an implantable hardware device used for bone reconstruction. It describes mechanical expansion and surgical implantation, indicating it is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this is a Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis, which is an implantable medical device used to reconstruct bone defects in pediatric patients. It is surgically implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the conditions for which the prosthesis is used (oncology, trauma, etc.) and the anatomical site (distal femur and/or proximal tibia). This is a description of a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing: Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence. Single-axis and multi-axis life cycle testing of the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis was conducted to verify that the expansion feature of the device will not cause the subject component to collapse/retract before, after and during physiological loading. All specimens tested ran out without evidence of collapse of the device. Fatigue testing was also conducted on the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis crossover bearing component. All test specimens withstood physiological loading as compared to the predicate device.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required for this submission.

§ 888.3510 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
