Intended Use
The subject Exeter V40™ Hip System components are intended for use in total hip replacement. They are intended for cemented use only. The subject components are intended for use with any Howmedica Osteonics Corp. acetabular component featuring a polyethylene bearing surface. Indications: - Noninflammatory joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, . - Rheumatoid arthritis, . - Correction of functional deformity, . - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed, . - Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.
Device Description
This Special 510(k) covers a modified Exeter Hip System which differs from the existing, predicate Exeter Hip System primarily in that it features a different trunnion known as the V40™ Taper. In addition to the change in Exeter Hip Stems and Heads from the predicate trunnion design to the newer V40™ Taper, this submission includes some additional stem and head sizes, the addition of an insertion dimple on the stems, reduction in stem neck diameter, and a new wingless version of the stem centralizer component.

No
The document describes a mechanical hip implant system with modifications to the trunnion design and size options. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as an "Exeter V40™ Hip System" intended for "total hip replacement" to treat various joint diseases and correct functional deformities, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The text indicates the device is an Exeter Hip System, which is a prosthetic intended for total hip replacement, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components of a hip replacement system (stems, heads, trunnion, centralizer), indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "total hip replacement" and addresses conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fractures. This is a surgical implant used in the body.
  • Device Description: The description details components of a hip implant (stems, heads, trunnion, centralizer). These are physical devices implanted during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting diseases or conditions in vitro, or providing information for diagnosis or monitoring based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a therapeutic implant used inside the body.

§ 888.3350 Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
