Intended Use
The MOST System is intended to replace the proximal, distal and/or total femur, especially in cases that require extensive resection and restoration. The Hex I/M Stem is intended for cemented use only in these situations. Specific diagnostic indications for use of the MOST System include: - metastatic diseases (e.g., osteosarcomas, chondrosarcomas, giant cell tumors, bone tumors) . requiring extensive resection(s) and replacement(s) of the proximal and/or distal femur; - patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., avascular . necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, requiring extensive resection and replacement of the proximal and/or distal femur; - patients suffering from severe arthropathy of the hip and/or knee that does not respond to . any conservative therapy or better alternative surgical treatment; - . revision cases requiring extensive resection(s) and replacement(s) of the proximal, distal, or total femur.
Device Description
The MOST System is used for the replacement of the proximal, distal and/or total femur. Unlike primary hip and knee systems, this system is used where the amount of femoral resection and restoration required is extreme (e.g., in oncology cases). A total replacement is possible in those cases where no part of the femur can be salvaged. The Hex I/M stems are hex shaped and designed to serve as the modular stem portion of either the proximal or distal femoral replacement. A taper feature at the end of the stem allows for connection to the mating modular component. The hex shape allows for rotational stability within the femoral canal once the stem is cemented into place. A ring of CSTi coating around the neck of the CoCr stem (ASTM F1537) allows for tissue attachment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a modular orthopedic implant system for femoral replacement and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a system for replacing parts of or the entire femur, particularly in cases of disease or severe joint issues, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

The provided text explicitly states the MOST System is an implant for replacing parts of the femur, not for diagnostic purposes. Its "Specific diagnostic indications for use" refer to the conditions it treats, not that it performs diagnoses.

No

The device description clearly describes physical components (stems, taper feature, coating) intended for surgical implantation, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The MOST System is a surgical implant designed to replace parts of the femur. It is a physical device used within the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the surgical procedures and conditions for which the implant is used, not diagnostic testing.

The text clearly describes a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

§ 888.3353 Hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.
