Intended Use
The BIOLOX delta Ceramic Femoral Heads are modular components used in total hip arthroplasty and indicated for the following: Patients suffering from severe hip pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and nonunion of previous fractures of the femur; patients with congenital hip dysplasia, protrusio acetabuli, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis; patients suffering from disability due to previous fusion; patients with previously failed endoprostheses and/or total hip components in the operative extremity; and patients with acute neck fractures.
Device Description
The BIOLOX delta Ceramic Femoral Heads are fabricated from an alumina matrix composite and are available in diameters of 28, 32, 36, and 40 mm with a range of offsets to accommodate various patient anatomies. They serve as an alternative to both metal and alumina ceramic femoral heads for use in total hip arthroplasty.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and mechanical performance of a ceramic femoral head, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes.
The device is used in total hip arthroplasty to treat severe hip pain and disability due to various medical conditions, directly addressing a medical problem.

No

Explanation: The device, the BIOLOX delta Ceramic Femoral Heads, is a modular component used in total hip arthroplasty to replace existing anatomical structures based on diagnosed conditions. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as identifying, detecting, or measuring a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is fabricated from an alumina matrix composite and is available in various diameters and offsets, indicating it is a physical hardware component (femoral head) used in surgery, not software.

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 modular component for total hip arthroplasty (hip replacement surgery). This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable component (femoral head) made of ceramic material.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is an implantable medical device used inside the body during surgery.

§ 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. Jenks:

Re:

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.
