Indications for Use
The StageOne™ Disposable Cement Spacer Mold For Temporary Hip Prosthesis with Reinforcement Stem is intended to provide the surgeon with a means to mold a temporary hemi-hip femoral prosthesis at the point of care, using a cleared polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement.
Device Story
Device consists of sterile, disposable medical-grade silicone mold containing stainless steel reinforcement stem. Surgeon uses mold at point of care to construct temporary hemi-hip femoral prosthesis by filling mold with polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement. After cement hardens, temporary prosthesis is removed from mold and implanted into patient's femoral medullary canal and acetabular cavity following debridement. Stainless steel stem acts as load-bearing endoskeleton. Device provides temporary structural support and local antibiotic delivery during two-stage revision arthroplasty. Silicone mold is discarded after single use. Temporary prosthesis must be explanted within 180 days. Output is a custom-molded temporary implant; assists surgeon in managing septic hip cases by maintaining joint space and delivering antibiotics while awaiting permanent reconstruction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including comparative mechanical fatigue testing and gentamicin elution testing against the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Medical-grade silicone mold; stainless steel reinforcement stem; polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement (user-supplied). Four sizes available (9mm-17mm stem diameter; 43mm-64mm head diameter). Sterile, single-use disposable mold. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary use (maximum 180 days) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to septic process. Requires use with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy and consistent use of mobility assist devices (e.g., crutches, walkers). Contraindicated in patients with: two-stage arthroplasty contraindications (e.g., poor immune response), inadequate bone structure/quality, neuromuscular disorders, systemic/secondary remote infection, allergy to gentamicin/aminoglycosides/PMMA, or inability to follow postoperative instructions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace the head and neck of the femur. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a snap-fit acetabular component made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device may be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) or implanted by impaction.

Proprietary Name: StageOne™ Disposable Cement Spacer Mold For Temporary Hip Prosthesis with Reinforcement Stem
Common Name: Bone Cement Spacer Mold; Disposable Cement Spacer Molds for Temporary Hip Prosthesis
Classification Name: Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis (21 CFR 888.3360); Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis (21 CFR 888.3390)
Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed: Spacer-G Temporary Hip Prosthesis cleared by the FDA in K031841 and marketed in the US under the InterSpace™ Hip by Exactech, Inc., Gainesville, FL.
Device Description: The device consists of a sterile, assembled cement spacer mold made of medical grade silicone with a stainless steel reinforcement stem located inside the silicone mold, designed to construct a temporary cement hemihip femoral spacer. The silicone component of the spacer mold is designed to shape the temporary spacer but is not implanted, and is to be discarded after a single use. The stainless steel reinforcement stem serves as the load-bearing endoskeleton of the hemi-hip prosthetic implant and is incorporated into the prosthesis by being coated over by bone cement.
Polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement is filled into the silicone mold containing the stainless steel reinforcement stem. The temporary hip prosthesis is removed from the silicone mold after the cement hardens and is placed into the patient's hip joint space.
The femoral cement spacer molds are offered in four sizes (9 mm x 125 mm/ 43mm head, 9 mm x 125 mm/ 51mm head, 13 mm x 145 mm/ 57 mm head & 17 mm x 165 mm/ 64 mm head).
Intended Use: The StageOne™ Disposable Cement Spacer Mold For Temporary Hip Prosthesis with Reinforcement Stem is intended to provide the surgeon with a means to mold a temporary hemi-hip femoral prosthesis at the point of care, using a cleared polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement. The predicate device is a temporary hemi-hip femoral prosthesis, made with
{1}------------------------------------------------
K052990 page 293
polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin bone cement, pre-molded by the manufacturer.
Indication for Use: Disposable cement spacer molds with stainless steel reinforcements are intended to be used to mold a hemi-hip femoral prosthesis, indicated for temporary use (maximum 180 days) in skeletally mature patients undergoing a two-stage procedure due to septic process.
The temporary prosthesis is inserted into the femoral medullary canal and acetabular cavity following removal of the existing femoral and acetabular implants and debridement. The temporary prosthesis is intended for use in conjunction with systemic antimicrobial antibiotic therapy (standard treatment approach to an infection).
The hemi-hip femoral prosthesis is not intended for use more than 180 days, at which time it must be explanted and a permanent device implanted or another appropriate treatment performed (e.g. resection, arthroplasty, fusion, etc.)
Because of inherent mechanical limitations of the material (polymethylmethacrylate/gentamicin), the molded temporary prosthesis is only indicated for patients who will consistently use traditional mobility assist devices (e.g. crutches, walkers) throughout the implant period.
## Contraindications:
The temporary hip prosthesis made with the disposable cement spacer molds is contraindicated for the following situations:
- The patient's condition is such that a two-stage arthroplasty procedure is ● contraindicated due to decreased immune response or other relevant systemic clinical conditions.
- Lack of adequate bone structure precludes adequate support of the . prosthesis in the proximal femur or acetabular region.
- The procedure is unjustified due to deficiencies in the patient's muscular, . nervous or vascular systems.
- Poor bone quality (as in osteoporosis) could cause the prosthesis to . migrate or to fracture host bone.
- Infection of the THR cannot be confirmed. .
- The infected THR devices cannot be removed. .
- A systemic or secondary remote infection is expected or confirmed. .
- The patient is sensitive (allergic) to gentamicin, aminoglycosides or PMMA . bone cement.
- The patient does not have a THR and the infection is secondary to . trauma, septic arthritis or other surgical procedures.
- The patient does not have sufficient bone stock to allow insertion and . fixation of the prosthesis.
- The patient has neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the . hip joint.
{2}------------------------------------------------
K052990 page 1 of 3
- The patient's age, weight, or activity level would cause the surgeon to . expect early failure of the system.
- The infecting pathogens are resistant to gentamicin. .
- Patients with mental or neurologic conditions who are unwilling or . incapable of following postoperative care instructions.
Summary of Technologies: The bone cement molds are sterile disposables made of medical grade sillcone with a reinforcement stem. The disposable cement spacer molds produce temporary hip prosthesis components that are composed of similar bone cement and reinforcement stems as the predicate.
Non-Clinical Testing: Comparative mechanical (fatigue) and antibiotic (gentamicin) elution testing was performed on both the temporary hip prosthesis made with the Biomet disposable cement spacer molds and the Exactech/Tecres Spacer-G predicate device. The temporary hip prostheses were found to be substantially equivalent in fatigue characteristics. The percentage of total gentamicin eluted from the spacer made from a Biomet mold and antibioticloaded G bone cement was substantially equivalent to the percentage of gentamicin eluted from the Tecres Spacer-G.
Clinical Testing: No clinical testing was performed.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.

Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
