This device is not appropriate for acetabular cup surgeries. ## Device Story RABEA Cement Restrictor Device is a hollow, titanium, rounded rectangular frame with fenestrated surfaces and 1 mm toothed spikes. Used in orthopedic surgery to restrict PMMA bone cement within the femoral canal or tibial plateau during hip or knee replacement. Device is implanted by a surgeon to prevent cement migration. Titanium construction provides structural integrity for containment. Not for use in acetabular cup or spinal procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Functional and safety testing performed to ensure conformance to product specifications and performance under conditions similar to normal usage. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Titanium, hollow, rounded rectangular frame, fenestrated surfaces, 1 mm toothed spikes. Mechanical device for cement restriction. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery. ## Predicate Devices - Osteonics PTII Cement Spacer ([K914406](/device/K914406.md)) - Motech Surgical Mesh ([K900138](/device/K900138.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Class II, 21 CFR 878.3300
JDK | | PREDICATE DEVICE(S): | The RABEA™ Cement Restrictor Device is substantially
equivalent to the Osteonics PTII Cement Spacer which was
cleared via premarket notification K914406 on December 20,
1991, and the Motech Surgical Mesh which was cleared for use
as a cement restrictor via premarket notification K900138 on
March 20, 1990. | | DEVICE DESCRIPTION: | The RABEATM Cement Restrictor Device is a hollow, titanium,
rounded rectangular frame with fenestrated surfaces on all sides
and 1 mm toothed spikes on opposite sides. The device is
intended to be used in conjunction with standard PMMA cement. | | INTENDED USE: | The RABEATM Cement Restrictor Device is intended for use as a
cement restrictor in orthopedic surgeries such as those involving
the femoral canal and tibial plateau in hip stem and total knee
replacement. This device is not appropriate for acetabular cup
surgeries. | | FUNCTIONAL &
SAFETY TESTING: | Functional and safety testing of the RABEA™ Cement
Restrictor Device consisted of examination of the function of the
device under conditions similar to those found in normal usage
and testing to ensure conformance to product specifications. The | {1}------------------------------------------------ results of the examination and testing were successful and did not raise any issues of safety and effectiveness of the device. #### CONCLUSION: The RABEA™ Cement Restrictor Device is substantially equivalent to the Osteonics PTII Cement Spacer which was cleared via premarket notification K914406 on December 20, 1991, and the Motech Surgical Mesh which was cleared for use as a cement restrictor via premarket notification K900138 on March 20, 1990, based upon the devices' similarities in functional design, materials and indications for use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the p. visions of equirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's package insert and also as a Warning on the product label: WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY SPINAL INDICATIONS. THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS DEVICE WHEN IMPLANTED IN THE SPINE HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED. {3}------------------------------------------------ #### Page 2 - Mr. Thomas Hoghaug If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions.
