Intended Use
The RIGI-FIX™ Hip Stem System is intended for uncemented use for all types of arthrosis, such as advanced destruction of the hip joint due to degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis, fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head, sequelae of previous operations, such as internal fixation, joint reconstruction, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement. The same considerations apply to femoral hip stem revisions.
Device Description
The RIGI-FIX™ Hip Stem System is a non-cemented acetabular cup system with a complete assortment of neutral and 10° hooded poly inserts as well as acetabular screws and screw hole covers (screw hole occluders).

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical hip implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device, the RIGI-FIX™ Hip Stem System, is an implant intended to replace or reconstruct the hip joint, addressing conditions like advanced arthritis, fractures, or necrosis, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device is a hip stem system intended for uncemented use in joint replacement surgeries, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "non-cemented acetabular cup system with a complete assortment of neutral and 10° hooded poly inserts as well as acetabular screws and screw hole covers (screw hole occluders)," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the RIGI-FIX™ Hip Stem System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing or revising a hip joint due to various conditions. This is a therapeutic device implanted within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a non-cemented acetabular cup system with inserts, screws, and covers. These are physical components designed for surgical implantation.
  • 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. The RIGI-FIX™ Hip Stem System is an implantable medical device used within the body for treatment.

§ 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.
