Orthopedic surgical instruments designed for osteochondral implants with press-fit fixation are hand-held devices intended to manipulate bone and cartilage tissue or the implant for the positioning, alignment, defect creation, and placement of press-fit osteochondral implants that utilize no additional means of fixation (e.g., suture fixation, adhesives).

(1) Technical specifications regarding geometry of the instruments must be specified and validated to demonstrate that the instruments can safely position and place the implant.

(2) The patient contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.

(3) Labeling must include:

(i) Identification of implant(s) and instruments which have been validated for use together; and

(ii) Validated methods and instructions for reprocessing any reusable parts.
