Intended Use
The Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage is intended to bridge the areas of acetabular bone loss in patients with acetabular bone deficiency. In addition, the Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage, like the predicate devices, is intended to provide support for an all polyethylene acetabular implant in a cemented application. Diagnostic indications for use of this device include, but are not limited to, acetabular dysplasia, osteoporosis, protrusio acetabuli, cystic acetabular roof, reconstruction in cases of defects after fracture, acetabular loosening, tumors or revision surgery. The general indications associated with the use of Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage in total hip arthroplasty include: 1. Advanced joint destruction resulting from degenerative, posttraumatic or rheumatoid arthritis, 2. Fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head, 3. Failed previous surgery, e.g. osteosynthesis, joint reconstruction, arthrodesis, hemi-arthroplasty and total hip replacement.
Device Description
The Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage is a modified version of the preamendment H.B. Burch Anti-Protrusio Reinforcement Cage, manufactured by Protek AG (now consolidated into Sulzer Orthopedics Limited), that has been in commercial distribution in the United States prior to 1976. The Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage will be manufactured from either stainless steel (AISI 316L) or commercially pure (CP) Titanium (International Organization for Standards (ISO) 5832-2). The design of the Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage include the following: - a dome area with a dome hole and screwholes. - a superior flange employing screwholes for the optional attachment to the ilium. - an inferior flange employing screwholes for the optional attachment to the ischium, - available in thickness of 2.0 (+0.0. -0.3)mm

No
The device description and intended use are for a mechanical implant (reinforcement cage) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to bridge areas of acetabular bone loss, provide support for an acetabular implant, and address advanced joint destruction, among other medical conditions, indicating a direct role in patient treatment and rehabilitation.

No

The device is an orthopedic implant (a reinforcement cage for acetabular bone loss) and not a diagnostic tool. The "Diagnostic indications for use" section refers to conditions for which the device might be used, not that the device itself performs diagnostics.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of stainless steel or titanium, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware device, 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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The Burch/Schneider Reinforcement Cage is a physical implant made of metal (stainless steel or titanium) designed to be surgically placed within the body to support the acetabulum (hip socket).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to bridge bone loss and provide support for an acetabular implant within the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device itself does not perform any tests on biological samples or provide diagnostic information in the way an IVD would. While it is used in patients with certain diagnostic conditions (like acetabular dysplasia or arthritis), the device's function is structural and supportive, not diagnostic.

The "Diagnostic indications for use" listed refer to the conditions for which the device might be used in a patient, not a diagnostic function of the device itself.

§ 888.3350 Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
