Intended Use
StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer Molds are indicated for use to mold a temporary total knee replacement (TKR) for skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to a septic process. The temporary prosthesis is molded using Refobacin® Bone Cement R and inserted into the joint space following removal of the existing total knee replacement implants and debridement. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The knee prosthesis made from the StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer Molds is not intended for use more than 180 days, at which time it must be explanted and permanent devices implanted or another appropriate treatment (e.g. resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.). Due to the inherent mechanical limitations of the knee prosthesis material (Refobacin® Bone Cement R), the temporary knee prosthesis is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility devices (e.g. crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period.
Device Description
The subject device is a sterile, single use device made of silicone and is used to create temporary tibial and femoral implant components made from antibiotic bone cement, Refobacin® Bone Cement R. After removal of the initial implant the prepared cement spacers are placed into the tibiofemoral joint space using Refobacin® Bone Cement R as the first stage of a two-stage revision surgical procedure. The temporary spacers remain in place (180 days or less) until the second stage of the two-stage revision procedure is performed to implant a conventional knee joint prosthesis.

No
The summary describes a physical mold used to create temporary knee spacers from bone cement. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used to mold a temporary total knee replacement for patients undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to a septic process, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is used to mold a temporary knee replacement during a two-stage revision procedure for septic processes. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one, as it does not diagnose a condition, but rather is used in the treatment of a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a sterile, single-use device made of silicone, which is a physical material used to mold a temporary prosthesis. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer Molds are used to create a physical, temporary implant that is placed inside the patient's knee joint. It is a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to mold a temporary knee replacement for patients undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to infection. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a surgical implant molding tool, not a device used for testing biological samples.

| Purpose and Device
Description: | The purpose of this submission is to obtain clearance for the proposed
modifications to the manufacturing process, sterile packaging
configuration, product labeling, engineering drawings and indications for
use regarding bone cements marketed for use with the StageOne Knee
Cement Spacer Molds.
The subject device is a sterile, single use device made of silicone and is
used to create temporary tibial and femoral implant components made
from antibiotic bone cement, Refobacin® Bone Cement R. After removal
of the initial implant the prepared cement spacers are placed into the
tibiofemoral joint space using Refobacin® Bone Cement R as the first
stage of a two-stage revision surgical procedure. The temporary spacers
remain in place (180 days or less) until the second stage of the two-stage
revision procedure is performed to implant a conventional knee joint
prosthesis. |
| Intended Use: | The StageOne Knee Cement Spacer Molds are intended to create a
temporary knee replacement prosthesis as part of a two-stage revision
procedure. |
| Indications for Use: | StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer Molds are indicated for use to mold a
temporary total knee replacement (TKR) for skeletally mature patients
undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to a septic process. The
temporary prosthesis is molded using Refobacin® Bone Cement R and
inserted into the joint space following removal of the existing total knee
replacement implants and debridement. The device is intended for use in
conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard
treatment approach to an infection). |
| | The knee prosthesis made from the StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer
Molds is not intended for use more than 180 days, at which time it must
be explanted and permanent devices implanted or another appropriate
treatment performed (e.g. resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.). |
| | Due to the inherent mechanical limitations of the knee prosthesis material
(Refobacin® Bone Cement R), the temporary knee prosthesis is only
indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility
devices (e.g. crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period. |
| Summary of Technological
Characteristics: | The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the
following characteristics:
● Intended Use: Identical to the predicate device.
● Indications for Use: The subject device has similar indications for
use as the predicate device. The subject device is now indicated for
use only with Refobacin® Bone Cement R. There are no changes to
the intended clinical use of the device.
● Materials: The subject device is made of the same raw materials as
the predicate device.
● Design Features: The subject device has the same design features as
the predicate device.
● Variants/Sizes: The subject device has the same variants and sizes as
the predicate device.
● Sterilization Method: The subject device is sterilized using the same
sterilization method as the predicate device.
● Manufacturing Process: The subject device is manufactured using a
manufacturing process similar to the predicate device.
● Packaging: The subject device has similar packaging as the predicate
device; both the subject and predicate devices are packaged in a
double sterile barrier configuration. |
