Device Description
The Flexible Great Toe implant is a double-stemmed silicone prosthesis to supplement first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty. The implant is designed to act as a dynamic joint spacer between the head of the 1st metatarsal and base of the proximal phalanx. A grommet option is offered for surgeons who choose to utilize grommets in their surgical procedure. This is consistent with the description and intended use of the Swanson Flexible Hinge Toe Implant.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is an implant designed to treat conditions like hallux limitus/rigidus, painful rheumatoid arthritis, and hallux abducto valgus associated with arthritis, which are all therapeutic purposes.

No

This device is described as an implantable prosthetic device for joint arthroplasty, acting as a "dynamic joint spacer." Its intended use revolves around treating conditions like hallux limitus/rigidus and painful arthritis. There is no mention of it being used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "double-stemmed silicone prosthesis," which is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this is a "double-stemmed silicone prosthesis to supplement first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty." It is an implant designed to be surgically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses are related to treating conditions affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint through surgical intervention.

There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body or performing diagnostic tests. The device is a physical implant used in surgery.

§ 888.3720 Toe joint polymer constrained prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A toe joint polymer constrained prosthesis is a device made of silicone elastomer or polyester reinforced silicone elastomer intended to be implanted to replace the first metatarsophalangeal (big toe) joint. This generic type of device consists of a single flexible across-the-joint component that prevents dislocation in more than one anatomic plane.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Trade Name: Futura Biomedical Flexible Great Toe Implant

Common Name:

Flexible Great Toe Implant

Classification Name:

Constrained Polymer Toe Prosthesis per 888.3720 (Class II)

Substantially Equivalent to (predicate device):

Swanson Flexible Hinge Toe Implant by Dow Corning, 510(k) number K780132 (now offered by Wright Medical Technology, Inc., Arlington, TN).

Description/Intended Use:

The Flexible Great Toe implant is a double-stemmed silicone prosthesis to supplement first metatarsophalangeal joint arthroplasty. The implant is designed to act as a dynamic joint spacer between the head of the 1st metatarsal and base of the proximal phalanx. A grommet option is offered for surgeons who choose to utilize grommets in their surgical procedure. This is consistent with the description and intended use of the Swanson Flexible Hinge Toe Implant.

Indications for use of this implant are:

  • Hallux limitus or hallux rigidus. .
  • Painful rheumatoid arthritis. .
  • . Hallux abducto valgus associated with arthritis.
  • Unstable or painful joint from previous surgery. .

Technological Characteristics:

The Futura Flexible Great Toe and Predicate device are double-stemmed, silicone implants with a hinged midsection. They both offer titanium press fit grommets.

The angled hinge block of the Flexible Great Toe allows for the normal anatomic insertion of the flexor hallucis brevis tendon to be maintained and removes less of the inferior aspect of the metatarsal head to mitigate sesamoid impingement. The tapered stems and implant face are designed based on the geometry of the resected faces of the proximal phalanx and metatarsal.

There are currently no performance standards for great toe silicone joint implants. The American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) has developed voluntary standards for the materials used in the grommets:
