Intended Use
The FMP Constrained Liner is intended to replace a hip joint. The device is intended for primary or revision patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intra-operative instability and for whom all other options to constrained acetabular components have been considered.
Device Description
The constrained liner is first snapped into the shell and a ridge or lip around the outside of the liner engages a groove on the inside of the shell to provide a positive lock. The femoral head is inserted into the constrained liner and the locking ring secures the head into the liner. The Constrained Liner consists of an UHMWPE insert conforming to ASTM F648 and a titanium alloy locking ring conforming to ASTM F620. The ID of the liners is 28 mm and the minimum thickness of the insert is 6 mm. The constrained liner is to be used in conjunction with the acetabular shells previously cleared in K973199, K974093, and K974095.

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a physical implant for hip replacement. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
This device is a prosthetic implant (hip joint replacement), which is a medical device, but its primary function is mechanical replacement rather than direct therapeutic intervention like drug delivery or physiotherapy.

No
Explanation: The device described is a medical implant designed to replace a hip joint, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to treat patients with hip dislocation issues.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of UHMWPE and titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "replace a hip joint." This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of UHMWPE and titanium alloy, designed to be surgically placed in the hip joint.
  • 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.

This device is clearly a surgical implant intended for orthopedic use.

Sterility: All components are supplied sterile in triple sealed containers maintaining double sterile barriers. A combination of pouches and/or trays is used to provide the operating room staff with easy handling of the components. One hundred per cent visual examination of the package seals is performed and recorded. Sterilization is accomplished using gamma radiation (minimum 25 kGy) and is verified by dose validation per ANSVAAMI/ ISO11137-94 and EN552 to achieve a sterility assurance level of 10-6. In addition, B. pumilus biological indicators (population 100) are utilized as a secondary verification. No testing is performed to determine if these parts are pyrogen free. Resterilization of components using autoclave steam cycle is prohibited.

Standards Conformity: As required by the risk analysis, performance characteristics for all materials used in manufacturing the components of the FMP Constrained Liner meet one of the following material standards:

  • ASTM F136-98. "Standard specification for wrought Titanium-6 Vanadium ELI alloy for surgical implant applications"
  • ASTM F620-00, "Standards specification for Titanium-6 Vanadium ELI alloy forgings for surgical implants"
  • ASTM F648-00, "Standard specifications for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder and fabricated form for surgical implants"

Labeling: As required by the risk analysis, the caution statement, intended use, and precautions recommended in the guidance document are provided in the labeling, package insert and surgical technique for the FMP Constrained Liner.

(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.”
