Intended Use

The subject femoral heads are single-use devices intended for use in cemented or cementless total hip arthroplasty with various Howmedica Osteonics hip stems featuring the PCA® taper (2° 52') that are manufactured from CoCr alloy. They are not intended for use with any stem manufactured from Stainless Steel or Titanium alloy. They are also intended for use with any compatible, currently available Howmedica Osteonics acetabular component featuring a polyethylene bearing surface.

Indications for Use:

  1. noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis:
  2. rheumatoid arthritis (excepting the Osteolock" HA Acetabular Cup and Peri-Apatite coated prostheses):
  3. correction of functional deformity:
  4. revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and,
  5. treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.

The Peri-Apatite coated prostheses are indicated only for primary uncemented total hip arthroplasty for items 1, 3, & 5 above when offered for sale in the USA.

Femoral head prostheses are indicated for use in cementless total hip arthroplasty, depending upon the indications of the acetabular and femoral stem components chosen.

Device Description

PCA® taper (2° 52') femoral heads manufactured from Alumina ceramic (ASTM F603) with a Ti-6Al-4V alloy sleeves (ASTM F136) will be available in 32mm diameters. The femoral heads will be available with 0 (standard) and +5 offsets. The PCA® taper femoral heads are compatible with a range of CoCr alloy Howmedica Osteonics PCA® taper femoral stems. The subject components are also compatible for use with a wide range of acetabular components (shells and polyethylene inserts).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device, specifically PCA® Alumina 32mm Femoral Heads. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not for proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria through a study with performance metrics in the way a diagnostic AI device would.

Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, adjudication methods, and MRMC/standalone studies is not present in this document. This document describes a physical orthopedic implant, not an AI or diagnostic software.

Here's why the requested information isn't available and what the document does provide:

  • Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Table): This document does not present quantitative performance metrics for the device. Instead, it asserts substantial equivalence based on material composition, design principles, and intended use as compared to existing devices.
  • Sample size for the test set and data provenance: Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an algorithm tested on a dataset of patient information.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. This device does not have "ground truth" established by experts in the context of diagnostic interpretation.
  • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is not an AI diagnostic tool.
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable.
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

What the document does describe and implies about how the device meets requirements:

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices already on the market. This is the primary "proof" for a 510(k) submission for this type of device.

Substantial Equivalence Section:
The PCA® Alumina Femoral Heads are deemed substantially equivalent to:

  • Alumina V40™ Femoral Heads (K023901)
  • PCA Total Hip System - Cementless Use (K920831)
  • V40™/C-Taper Adapter Sleeve (K003379)

The inference is that because the new device is substantially equivalent in terms of materials (Alumina ceramic with Ti-6Al-4V alloy sleeves, 32mm diameter, 0 and +5 offsets for PCA® taper), intended use, and indications for use to these already cleared devices, it meets the safety and effectiveness requirements without the need for a new clinical trial generating performance data against specific acceptance criteria. The materials (ASTM F603 for Alumina, ASTM F136 for Ti-6Al-4V alloy) imply adherence to established material standards, which are a form of "acceptance criteria" for material properties.

In summary, for medical devices like the PCA® Alumina Femoral Heads, the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is the comparison to legally marketed predicate devices under the 510(k) pathway, demonstrating that its features, intended use, and performance characteristics are similar to those already deemed safe and effective by the FDA.

Dear Ms. Setti-LaPerch:

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, listing 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation

(21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
