Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the primary purpose of the Tibial Insert in knee replacement surgeries?

    The Tibial Insert acts as the intermediate bearing surface between the tibia (shinbone) and femur (thighbone) in total knee arthroplasty. Its design allows for smooth articulation with the femoral component, enabling natural joint movement and proper load distribution during knee replacement procedures.

  • Is the Tibial Insert intended for reuse or is it a single-use implant?

    The Tibial Insert is explicitly supplied as a single-use implant, meaning it is intended for one-time surgical use only and should not be reused after implantation.

  • How is the Tibial Insert regulated by the FDA, and what does that mean for its use?

    The Tibial Insert holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K963028) under the product code JWH, which categorizes it as an orthopedic device. This clearance indicates that the manufacturer has demonstrated it is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device in terms of safety and effectiveness for its intended use in knee replacement surgeries.

  • Are there any specific storage instructions mentioned for the Tibial Insert?

    The provided data does not include explicit storage instructions for the Tibial Insert. However, as a single-use surgical implant, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve its integrity until use.
