Intended Use
Total hip components are indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma, inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis; avascular necrosis; traumatic arthritis; slipped capital epiphysis; fused hip; fracture of the pelvis; diastrophic variant; old, remote osteomyelitis with an extended drainage-free period; nonunion; femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with heads involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. The Total Hip 12/14 Taper Femoral Heads are designed for single use only.
Device Description
The Total Hip 12/14 Taper Femoral Heads are designed for use with both titanium and cobalt chromium alloy femoral components with a 12/14 taper.

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

No
The device, "Total Hip 12/14 Taper Femoral Heads," is an implanted component for hip replacement surgery, falling under the category of prosthetics for structural support and mobility restoration rather than directly treating a disease or condition through therapeutic action.

No
The device, "Total Hip 12/14 Taper Femoral Heads," is an orthopedic implant for hip replacement surgery, as indicated by its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections, which describe its use in rehabilitating damaged hips and its design as an implant component. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states "The Total Hip 12/14 Taper Femoral Heads are designed for use with both titanium and cobalt chromium alloy femoral components," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing damaged hip joints. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical component (femoral head) designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a prosthetic implant used to treat a physical condition.

§ 888.3353 Hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.
