Intended Use
The Unitrax® Modular Unipolar System is intended to be used with a Howmedica Osteonics hip stem. When assembled to a hip stem, the resultant component functions in Ostcomes imp stem. "When assemmooprosthesis. The endoprosthesis is used as a hemia shillial for the following indications: femoral neck fractures, idiopathic avascular necrosis and non-unions.
Device Description
The Unitrax® component is a unipolar head that accepts a neck adjustment adaptor or sleeve. The neck adjustment sleeve is then assembled to the trunnion of the desired Howmedica Osteonics femoral stem. The design modification to the unipolar head involves a reduction in the wall thickness and removal of the inner "ribs". The manufacturing process modification involves changing the size 45mm components from machined to cast parts which results in a material change from ASTM F1537 to ASTM F75. The modified component is substantially equivalent to the predicate device which was cleared for marketing via the 510(k) process in 510(k) #K902365. The Unitrax® Modular Unipolar Heads are manufactured from Vitallium® (CoCr) Alloy which conforms to ASTM standards F75 (cast) and F1537 (wrought). The intended use of the modified Unitrax® Modular Unipolar Heads is identical to that of the unmodified Unitrax® Modular Unipolar Heads.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical hip implant component and its manufacturing process, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "endoprosthesis" used to treat medical conditions like "femoral neck fractures, idiopathic avascular necrosis and non-unions", which are therapeutic indications.

No

The device is a prosthetic component (unipolar head) for hip replacement, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions. It functions as part of an endoprosthesis to replace a joint, rather than to identify or analyze diseases.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable medical device (a unipolar head for a hip prosthesis) made of metal alloy, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a component of a hip endoprosthesis used for surgical implantation to treat conditions like femoral neck fractures and avascular necrosis. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable component (a unipolar head) made of metal alloy, designed to be assembled with a hip stem. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a physical implant used to replace a damaged joint component.

§ 888.3360 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.(b)
Classification. Class II.
