Intended Use
The Ringloc® Constrained Liner is indicated for use as a component of a total hip prosthesis in primary and revision patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, joint or soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intraoperative instability, and for whom all other options to constrained acetabular components have been considered.
Device Description
The Ringloc® Constrained Acetabular Liners are polyethylene liners with a 10° beveled inner edge that, with a locking ring, captures the modular head.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant component for hip replacement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a component of a total hip prosthesis, which is used to treat hip dislocation and instability, thus providing a therapeutic benefit by addressing a medical condition.

No
Explanation: This device is a component of a total hip prosthesis, used to treat hip dislocation. It is an implantable medical device, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical component (polyethylene liners with a locking ring) intended for surgical implantation as part of a total hip prosthesis.

Based on the provided information, 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 total hip prosthesis used in surgical procedures on patients. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant designed to be placed within the body. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Ringloc® Constrained Liner is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3310 Hip joint metal/polymer constrained cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer constrained cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device prevents dislocation in more than one anatomic plane and has components that are linked together. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular component made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene with or without a metal shell, made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and titanium alloys. This generic type of device is intended for use with or without bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Hip Joint Metal/Polymer Constrained Cemented or Uncemented Prosthesis.”
