Intended Use
The subject femoral head is a single-use device intended for use in total hip replacement. It is intended for use with any currently available Howmedica Osteonics acetabular component. It is intended for use with any currently available Howmedica Osteonics hip stem featuring the V40™ trunnion and manufactured from a titanium alloy or Orthinox™ Stainless Steel. It is not intended for use with any stem manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy. Indications: - Painful, disabling joint disease of the hip resulting from: Non-inflammatory degenerative . arthritis (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, pelvic fracture, failed fracture fixation, or diastrophic variant); - . Rheumatoid arthritis; - Correction of functional deformity; . - Where bone stock is of poor quality or inadequate for other reconstructive techniques as . indicated by deficiencies of the acetabulum; - Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with . head involvement that are unmanageable uing other techniques; - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed. .
Device Description
The subject Alumina V40™ Femoral Heads and the predicate Alumina V40™ Femoral Heads (#K003413) are manufactured from the same materials using the same manufacturing processes. They share the same indications for use and are of nearly identical design. The subject Alumina V40™ Femoral Heads differ from the predicate Alumina V40™ Femoral Heads as follows: - 1. An improved taper grinding technique provides a smoother taper surface finish. This smoother taper surface finish yields stronger ball heads that can now be used with Orthinox™ stainless steel stems (in addition to the titanium alloy stems previously cleared for use with the predicate femoral heads).
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (femoral head) and focuses on material and manufacturing process improvements, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for total hip replacement to treat painful, disabling joint disease, correct functional deformity, and address fractures or nonunion, which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

This device is a surgical implant (femoral head) used in total hip replacement, not a diagnostic tool. Its purpose is to replace part of a joint, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical femoral head, a component of a total hip replacement, manufactured from specific materials using manufacturing processes. It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "total hip replacement" and is a "single-use device." This describes a surgical implant used directly in the body.
  • Indications for Use: The indications are all related to conditions affecting the hip joint that require surgical intervention (arthritis, fractures, deformities, etc.).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material, manufacturing process, and design of a physical implant (femoral head) that connects to a hip stem.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is a surgical implant used to replace a part of the hip joint.

§ 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.
