Intended Use
The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem is intended for prosthetic replacement without bone cement in treatment of the following: - patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD); e.g., avascular . necrosis, osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. - those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists. . - revision of a previously failed hip arthroplasty. ● - patients who requires a total hip replacement. .
Device Description
The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem is designed as a conical straight stem with a rectangular cross section to ensure rotational stability. Distally the SLL stem is up to 20% longer than the same size SL stem, while maintaining the same conical features. This provides the surgeon with greater freedom of choice even in primary operations. A SLL stem of the same size as the pre-selected SL stem can be implanted to achieve primary stability in cases of unexpected poor bone quality. Distally the stem is anchored primarily by its edges; proximally the surfaces anchor against the bone cortex. The general design of the Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem with the slim neck and short taper remains unchanged as compared to the design of the previously cleared Zweymueller™ SL Femoral Stem. The modified design increases the patient's range of motion by up to 12° following a total hip replacement. The risk of impingement and ultimately the risk of dislocation are reduced following a total hip replacement. The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem is manufactured from wrought Ti-Al-Nb titanium alloy (Protasul-100™, ISO 5832-11 / ASTM F1295-92). The entire stem below the neck of the hip stem is grit blasted to provide enhanced bone/prosthesis interface.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (femoral stem) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device, a femoral stem, is intended for prosthetic replacement in serious conditions like degenerative joint disease and failed surgeries, directly addressing and treating physical ailments.

No

Explanation: The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem is an implantable prosthetic device for hip replacement, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical femoral stem made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller™ SL/SLL Femoral Stem is a physical implant designed to replace a portion of the femur (thigh bone) in hip replacement surgery. It is a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its purpose as a prosthetic replacement for treating various hip conditions and failed surgeries. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used directly within the body, which falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Alloclassic™ Zweymueller® SL/SLL Femoral Stem is intended for non-cemented use to replace the anatomy of the femur in cases of total hip replacement. It is intended to be used with Centerpulse Orthopedics acetabular components and metallic or ceramic femoral heads possessing a 12/14 taper.

The indications for use of the Alloclassic™ Zweymueller® SL/SLL Femoral Stem are for treatment of the following:

  • patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., avascular . necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis.
  • those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists. .
  • revision of a previously failed hip arthroplasty. .
  • patients who require a total hip replacement. .

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Swearingen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
