More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical hip replacement system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a hemi-hip replacement system, which is used to treat medical conditions affecting the hip, clearly indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device described is a hemi hip replacement system intended for surgical implantation to treat various hip conditions, not to diagnose them. Its purpose is therapeutic, replacing damaged anatomy rather than identifying a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "modular hemi-hip replacement system, which is composed of a metal stem and neck part ("stem") with an expandable femoral head in various dimensions from metal or Alumina ceramic". This describes physical hardware components, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant used for hip replacement. It is a physical device implanted into the body to replace damaged bone and joint structures.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information. Its purpose is purely therapeutic and structural.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Fixion Unipolar Modular Hemi-Hip System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3390 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Trade/Proprietary Name

Fixion™ Unipolar Modular Hemi-Hip System ("Fixion UH")

Classification Name

Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis

Predicate Devices

The Fixion UH intended use, materials and accessories are substantially equivalent to those used in Depuy Orthopeadics' Elite® Modular Hip System and S-ROM Total Hip System, as well as Disc-O-Tech's Fixion™ Interlocking PF Intramedullary Nailing System. The Fixion UH is also substantially equivalent to Link America, Inc.'s Link® Reconstruction Hip and to Smith and Nephew's Biolox® Alumina Ceramic Femoral Head.

Performance Standards

The Fixion UH conforms to the requirements of ISO 7206-8 (1995) "Implants for Surgery Partial and Total Hip Joint Prostheses - Part 8: Endurance Performance of Stemmed Femoral Components with Application of Torsion." The Fixion UH also conforms to FDA Draft Guidance Documents: Guidance Document for Femoral Stem Prostheses (1995) and Guidance Document for Testing Non-Articulating, "Mechanically Locked", Modular Implant Components (1995).

Intended Use

The Fixion Unipolar Modular Hemi-Hip System is intended for use for The Polon Chaptical use as a hemi hip replacement in case of:

  • Femoral head/neck fractures or non-unions ●
  • Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head/neck .
  • Osteo-, rheumatoid, and post-traumatic arthritis of the hip, with minimal . acetabular involvement

System Description

ystem Description
The Fixion UH is a modular hemi-hip replacement system, which is composed The I Mori of I is a land neck part ("stem") with an expandable femoral of a metazie relition from in various dimensions from metal or Alumina ceramic for use during partial hip replacement.

Substantial Equivalence

The Fixion UH System has substantially equivalent intended use and indications for use as the Elite Modular Hip System and the other predicates, i.e., replacement of hips.

The performance characteristics of the Fixion UH have been tested and found to meet the specifications through a series of bench tests.

The Stem of the Fixion UH Unipolar Hemi-Hip System, like the Fixion™ PF Intramedullary Nail, is made of 316LVM Stainless Steel. The cross section of the Fixion UH stem body and the Fixion Interlocking PF Intramedullary nail is identical and circular with reinforcement bars.

Fixation of the Fixion UH Stem to the femur is further enhanced by its inflation with sterile saline similar to the Fixion PF Nail and results in the abutment of the 4 reinforcement bars to the medullary canal wall. Rotational and axial stability is aided by the shape of the Stem Neck. The inflation of the Fixion UH Stem with saline, which is a non-compressible biocompatible fluid, is identical to the cleared Fixion PF Nail and does not raise any new safety and efficacy issues.
