Hip Spacer Molds with stainless-steel reinforcement stems, centralizers and Hip Head Inserts are indicated for use to mold a temporary hemi-hip spacer for skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to a septic process. The temporary hemi-hip spacer is molded using Cemex Genta LV, and inserted into femoral medullary canal and acetabular cavity following removal of the existing femoral and acetabular implants and debridement. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The temporary hemi-hip spacer made from Hip 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 temporary hemi-hip spacer material (Cemex Genta LV) the temporary hemi-hip spacers is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility assist devices (e.g., crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period.

Femoral Knee Spacer Molds and Tibial Knee 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 Cemex Genta LV 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 temporary total knee spacer made from the Femoral Knee Spacer Molds and Tibial Knee 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 temporary total knee spacer material (Cemex Genta LV), the temporary total knee spacer is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility devices (e.q., crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period.

Shoulder Spacer Molds with stainless-steel reinforcement stems, centralizers and Shoulder Head Inserts are indicated for use to mold a temporary hemi-shoulder spacer for skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage revision procedure due to a septic process. The temporary hemi-shoulder spacer is molded using Cemex Genta LV, and inserted into femoral medullary canal and acetabular cavity following removal of the existing femoral and acetabular implants and debridement. The device is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection). The temporary hemi-shoulder spacer made from Shoulder 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 hemi-shoulder prothesis material (Cemex Genta LV) the temporary hemi-shoulder prothesis is only indicated for patients who will consistently follow activity limitations throughout the implant period.

The Hip Spacer Molds are sterile, single use molds used for forming of interim prothesis from bone cement. These interim prothesis are intended as temporary hemi-hip spacers in a two-stage septic hip joint endoprosthesis. The Hip Spacer Molds are available as modular system, which is combinable to obtain different sized spacers.

The Femoral and Tibial Knee Spacer Molds are sterile, single use molds used for forming of interim prothesis from bone cement. These interim prothesis are intended as temporary knee spacers in a two-stage septic knee joint endoprosthesis. The Knee Spacer Molds are available as modular system, which is combinable to obtain different sized spacers.

The Shoulder Spacer Molds are sterile, sinqle use molds used for forming of interim prothesis from bone cement. These interim prothesis are intended as temporary hemishoulder spacers in a two-stage septic glenohumeral joint endoprosthesis. The Shoulder Spacer Molds are available as modular system, which is combinable to obtain different sized spacers.

This FDA 510(k) clearance letter pertains to medical device molds (Hip, Knee, Shoulder Spacer Molds) used to create temporary orthopedic spacers. The submission does not describe an AI/ML powered device and therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria and studies proving the device meets the criteria in the context of AI/ML is not available in the provided text.

The document discusses performance data related to the physical characteristics of the molds and the resulting spacers, but not in the context of an AI/ML algorithm's performance. Therefore, I cannot provide information on:

• A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for an AI/ML device.
• Sample size and data provenance for an AI/ML test set.
• Number and qualifications of experts for AI/ML ground truth.
• Adjudication method for an AI/ML test set.
• Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study for AI assistance.
• Standalone AI algorithm performance.
• Type of ground truth used for AI/ML.
• Sample size and ground truth establishment for an AI/ML training set.

The performance data mentioned in the document relates to:

• Sterilization and Shelf Life: Validation according to ISO 11135, shelf life of 2 years.
• Biocompatibility: Categorized per ISO 10993-1, with tests performed including Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10), Intracutaneous reactivity (ISO 10993-23), Pyrogenicity (ISO 10993-11), and Acute systemic toxicity (ISO 10993-11).
• Mechanical Performance Testing:
  • Endurance properties of stemmed femoral hip components according to ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6.
  • Wear of total knee-joint prosthesis according to ISO 14243-1.
  • Endurance properties of tibial trays according to ASTM F1800.
  • Endurance properties of shoulder spacer stem and neck region based on ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6.
  • Antibiotic (gentamicin) elution testing.

These tests are designed to demonstrate the physical and biological safety and effectiveness of the medical device molds and the spacers they produce, showing substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than evaluating the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
