Intended Use
The StageOne Knee Cement Spacer Molds are intended to create a temporary knee replacement prosthesis as part of a two-stage revision procedure.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use silicone molds; used by surgeons in clinical settings to create temporary tibial and femoral knee implants. Surgeon fills molds with Refobacin® Bone Cement R; cured cement spacers inserted into tibiofemoral joint space after debridement and removal of failed implants. Serves as temporary prosthesis during two-stage revision for infection; maintains joint space and delivers local antibiotic therapy. Patient must use mobility aids due to mechanical limitations of bone cement. Spacers explanted within 180 days for permanent implant placement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence established via non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility, packaging, sterilization validation, wear testing, and antibiotic elution testing.
Technological Characteristics
Silicone molds; single-use; sterile. Designed for manual molding of PMMA bone cement (Refobacin® Bone Cement R). Same design, variants, sizes, and sterilization method as predicate. Double sterile barrier packaging.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients undergoing two-stage revision TKR due to septic process. Requires use with Refobacin® Bone Cement R, systemic antimicrobial therapy, and mandatory use of mobility aids (crutches/walkers). Temporary prosthesis must be explanted within 180 days.

Dear Neha Sreenath:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

# Indications for Use
510(k) Number (if known) K213287
#### Device Name
StageOne™ Knee Cement Spacer Molds
#### Indications for Use (Describe)
StageOne™ Knee Cement 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 Refobacin® Bone Cement R 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 knee prosthesis made from the StageOne™ Knee Cement 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 (e.g. resection arthroplasty, fusion, etc.).
Due to the inherent mechanical limitations of the knee prosthesis material (Refobacin® Bone Cement R), the temporary knee prosthesis is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility devices (e.g. crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period.
Type of Use (Select one or both, as applicable)
X Prescription Use (Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart D)
Over-The-Counter Use (21 CFR 801 Subpart C)
