No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and mechanical performance of traditional bone cement, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a bone cement used for the fixation of joint prostheses which directly contributes to the treatment and management of patients with various orthopedic conditions.
No.
The device is a bone cement used for fixation of joint prostheses, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a traditional bone cement product consisting of a liquid and powder that are manually mixed, indicating it is a physical material, 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 the fixation of joint prostheses to living bone during surgical procedures. This is a direct therapeutic application within the body.
- Device Description: The device is a bone cement, a material used to physically secure implants. It is mixed and applied during surgery.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a disease or condition.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the bone cement, as well as its biocompatibility and sterilization. These are relevant to a surgical implant material, not a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This bone cement does not fit that description.

Dear Christine Brauer:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

INDICATIONS FOR USE റ
Bone Cement Genta
Bone Cement Genta are intended for the fixation of prosthesis to living bone in the second stage of a two-stage revision for total joint arthroplasty after the initial infection has been cleared.
Bone Cement
Bone Cement LV and HV are indicated for the fixation of joint prostheses to living bone in orthopedic musculoskeletal surgical procedures for rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell anemia, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, collagen disease, severe joint destruction secondary to trauma or other conditions and revision of previous arthroplasty.
COMPARISON OF THE INTENDED USE WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE 6
Bone Cement Genta
The Bone Cement Genta has the same indication for use statement as the predicate device other than the product name. Thus, the Bone Cement Genta and the predicate device have the same intended use, as shown in Table 1.
| Device | Indication for Use |
|---|---|
| Tecres | |
| Bone Cement Genta | Bone Cement Genta are intended for the fixation of prosthesis to living bone in |
| the second stage of a two-stage revision for total joint arthroplasty after the | |
| initial infection has been cleared. | |

Table 1: Comparison of the Indication Statement with the Predicate Device for Bone Cement Genta
7
Bone Cement
Bone Cement LV and HV and the primary predicate device are intended to be used for the fixation of artificial joint prostheses to the host living bone. Thus, the devices provide the same primary function providing a proper fixation of the components of an artificial joint to the host bone and share the same intended use. There are, however, differences in the indication for use statement between the Bone Cement LV and the predicate device. The indication for use statement for the Bone Cement LV and HV includes descriptive information regarding the underlying pathological conditions that often lead to the use of an artificial joint prosthesis in patients, which is not present in the primary predicate device. The same type of information is provided in the other cited predicate device, the Tecres Cemex Bone Cement, cleared through 510(k) application K021715. Importantly, the intended use of Bone Cement LV and HV remains the same as both predicate devices; all products share the same function, same mode of action, same target patient population and surgical procedures, same users, and same tissue contact (see Table 2).
| Device | Indication for Use Statement |
|---|---|
| Tecres Bone Cement LV and HV | Bone Cement LV and HV are indicated for the fixation of joint prostheses to living bone in orthopedic musculoskeletal surgical procedures for rheumatoid arthritis, sickle cell anemia, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, collagen disease, severe joint destruction secondary to trauma or other conditions, and revision of previous arthroplasty. |
| NP Cement HV (K143134) | NP Cements are intended to be used for the fixation of artificial joint prostheses to the host bone. |
| Cemex Bone Cement (K021715) | CEMEX bone cement is indicated for the fixation of prostheses to bone in orthopaedic musculoskeletal procedures for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, tramatic arthritis, congenital deformities, avascular necrosis, post-traumatic degenerative problems of the joint, sickle cell anemia, osteoporosis, collagen disease and for the revision of previous arthroplasty procedures. |
COMPARISON OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE 7 PREDICATE DEVICE
Bone Cement Genta
The Bone Cement Genta shares many of the same technological characteristics compared to the predicate NP Cement Genta HV, including important considerations such as the same materials, mechanical and chemical-physical performances.
There are, however, some differences in the formulation, packaging and method of sterilization of the powder component. These comparisons are summarized in Table 3.
