Intended Use
The Taperioc® 12/14 Taper Femoral Components and M²a-38™ Modular Heads are indicated for use in cemented or non-cemented total hip replacement in cases of: 1) Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis 2) Rheumatoid arthritis 3) Correction of functional deformity 4) Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques. 5) Revision of previously failed joint replacement. The Biomet Freedom® Constrained Modular Head is indicated for use as a component of a total hip prosthesis in primary and revision patients at high risk of dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, joint or 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 Taperloc® 12/14 Taper Femoral Components are straight, collarless, flat, tapered stems designed to match the geometry of the femur. The stems are proportionally sized and shaped in sizes 5.0mm to 25.0mm diameters. A lateralized version of the device is available. The stems are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F-136 or F-1472 and the proximal third of each femoral stem is covered with Biomet's full plasma spray porous coating.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (femoral stem and modular heads) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in conditions like non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, correction of functional deformity, and treatment of fractures, which are all conditions that therapeutic devices aim to treat or alleviate.

No

The provided text describes a medical device, the Taperioc® 12/14 Taper Femoral Components and M²a-38™ Modular Heads, which are indicated for use in total hip replacement. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section outlines conditions for which the device is used (e.g., non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis), and the "Device Description" details its physical characteristics and materials. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition, which would be the function of a diagnostic device. Instead, it is a therapeutic device used for treatment.

No

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

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a component for total hip replacement surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a femoral component (stem) and modular heads, which are implants designed to be surgically placed within the hip joint.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information based on such analysis. The purpose is to replace a damaged joint.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 888.3358 Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across the joint. This generic type of device has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.
