Intended Use

Total hip arthroplasty is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduce pain by replacing the damaged hip joint articulation in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components. Total hip replacement is indicated in the following conditions:

  1. Severely painful and/or disabled joint from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or congenital hip dysplasia.
  2. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
  3. Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck.
  4. Failed previous hip surgery including joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement arthro-plasty, or total hip replacement.
  5. Certain cases of ankylosis.

The Titan Porocoat® Hip Stem is indicated for cementless use and fixation by biological tissue ingrowth into the porous coating.

Device Description

The Titan Porous Hip is a collarless, titanium, tapered, press-fit femoral stem. The hip stem is manufactured from Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and has a sintered commercially pure titanium bead porous coating (Porocoat®) applied to the stem. The hip stem consists of 11 body sizes ranging in diameter from 6mm to 18mm with each body size having two offset options.

AI/ML Overview

Based on the provided 510(k) summary for the Titan™ Porocoat® Hip Prosthesis, it is important to note that this document describes a medical device (a hip implant), not an AI/software device. Therefore, many of the typical acceptance criteria and study methodologies relevant to AI/software performance (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, ground truth by experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable or described in this type of submission.

510(k) submissions for medical devices like hip implants primarily focus on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device already on the market, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for diagnostic or algorithmic accuracy. The "study" here is the comparison to predicate devices and the design/materials of the new device itself.

However, I will extract the relevant information and indicate where typical AI/software device information is not available in these types of physical device submissions.


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (for a physical medical device)

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (from document)Reported Device Performance/Comparison
Intended UseTo provide increased patient mobility and reduce pain by replacing damaged hip joint articulation in patients with sufficient sound bone to seat and support components."The Titan Porocoat Hip Prosthesis has the same intended use and basic design as the predicate devices and is therefore substantially equivalent." This implies that its intended function is achieved in a comparable manner to already approved devices.
Indications for Use1. Severely painful and/or disabled joint from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or congenital hip dysplasia. 2. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head. 3. Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck. 4. Failed previous hip surgery (various types). 5. Certain cases of ankylosis. 6. Indicated for cementless use and fixation by biological tissue ingrowth into the porous coating."The Titan Porocoat Hip Prosthesis has the same intended use and basic design as the predicate devices and is therefore substantially equivalent." The indications are explicitly stated as identical to the predicate devices. The hip stem is manufactured with a sintered commercially pure titanium bead porous coating (Porocoat®) specifically for cementless fixation and tissue ingrowth, aligning with the stated indication.
Design CharacteristicsCollarless, titanium, tapered, press-fit femoral stem. Manufactured from Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V). Sintered commercially pure titanium bead porous coating (Porocoat®). 11 body sizes (6mm to 18mm) with two offset options per size.The document describes the device's design and materials (titanium, porous coating), which are directly presented as its characteristics. The claim of "substantial equivalence" is based on these features being comparable to the predicate devices. For mechanical devices, performance is typically demonstrated through bench testing (e.g., fatigue, static strength, wear) to show that the new device meets established standards or performs comparably to the predicate, although these specific test results are not detailed in this high-level summary. The similarity in "basic design" to predicate devices (UNI-ROM Femoral Hip Stem K974331, Stability Hip Femoral Component K934457 with Porocoat, Vision AML Hip Prosthesis K953694) serves as the primary "performance" metric in a 510(k) for substantial equivalence.
MaterialTitanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and sintered commercially pure titanium bead porous coating (Porocoat®).Materials are explicitly stated. The choice of these materials is likely consistent with, or justified as equivalent to, the predicate devices.

Information Not Applicable or Not Provided for this Physical Medical Device 510(k) Summary:

Since this is a submission for a physical medical implant (hip prosthesis) and not an AI/software device, the following points as requested in your prompt are not applicable or not typically included in this type of 510(k) summary document. The "study" for such devices often involves bench testing, material characterization, and comparison to design principles of predicate devices, rather than clinical studies focused on algorithmic performance.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable for a physical device like a hip implant. There isn't a "test set" of data in the sense of an algorithmic evaluation. Device performance is typically evaluated through mechanical testing, material analysis, and comparison to predicate device specifications.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for an implant isn't established by experts in the same way it would be for an image-based diagnosis.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable, as this is not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support device.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): For an implant, "ground truth" relates to its physical and biocompatible properties meeting specifications and performing as intended (e.g., mechanical strength, wear resistance, successful osseointegration). This is established through engineering and biological testing, not expert consensus on data cases.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI model being trained.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across the joint. This generic type of device has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.(b)
