Intended Use
The Ceramic Spherical CMC Implant is intended to be used as an adjunct to resection arthroplasty of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint in cases of degenerative arthritis or posttraumatic arthritis limited to that joint. It acts as a spacer to preserve joint relationship and allow appropriate capsuloligamentous reconstruction to correct deformities. The implant will rest in a spherical cavity created by two hemispherical shapes in the trapezium and the first metacarpal. The implant will articulate directly on bone. Use of the CMC Implant may be considered in cases of isolated carpometacarpal joint involvement from either degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis presenting: - Localized pain and palpable crepation during circumduction movement with axial compression of involved thumb ("grind test"). - Decreased motion, normal pinch and grip strength. - X-ray evidence of arthritic changes and/or subluxation of the carpometacarpal ioint. - Associated unstable, stiff, or painful distal joints.
Device Description
The Ceramic Spherical CMC Implant is made from alumina or zirconia ceramic.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical implant made of ceramic and its intended use as a spacer in joint surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, DNN, or ML. The performance studies focus on material strength, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is intended to be used as an adjunct to resection arthroplasty of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint in cases of degenerative arthritis or posttraumatic arthritis, acting as a spacer to preserve joint relationship and allow appropriate capsuloligamentous reconstruction to correct deformities. These actions are rehabilitative or palliative, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an implant designed to replace part of a joint in cases of arthritis, not to identify or diagnose a condition. Its function is therapeutic/reconstructive rather than diagnostic.

No

The device is a physical implant made of ceramic material, 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.
  • Device Function: The Ceramic Spherical CMC Implant is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed within the body to act as a spacer in a joint. It does not analyze or test biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure and the implant's role in supporting the joint structure.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Description/Intended Use

The Ceramic Spherical CMC Implant is intended to be used as an adjunct to resection arthroplasty of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint in cases of degenerative arthritis or posttraumatic arthritis limited to that joint. It acts as a spacer to preserve joint relationship and allow appropriate capsuloligamentous reconstruction to correct deformities. The implant will rest in a spherical cavity created by two hemispherical shapes in the trapezium and the first metacarpal. The implant will articulate directly on bone.

Use of the CMC Implant may be considered in cases of isolated carpometacarpal joint involvement from either degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis presenting:

  • ♪ Localized pain and palpable crepitation during circumduction movement with axial compression of involved thumb ("grind test").
  • ﺮ Decreased motion, normal pinch and grip strength.
  • ♪ X-ray evidence of arthritic changes and/or subluxation of the carpometacarpal ioint.
  • ♪ Associated unstable, stiff, or painful distal joints.

The Ceramic Spherical CMC Implant is made from alumina or zirconia ceramic.
