Intended Use
The SL-PLUS Stem is intended for advanced hip joint wear due to degenerative, posttraumatic or rheumatoid arthritis; fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The SL-PLUS Lateralized Stem is intended for varus femur forms and trumpet shape of the proximal femur (champagne flute). These stems are for uncemented use only. These devices are intended to aid the surgeon in relieving the patient of hip pain and restoring hip motion.
Device Description
Subject of this premarket notification is the SL-PLUS Standard and Lateral Hip Stems. The overall design is based on the SL-PLUS Standard and SL-PLUS Lateralized Stem cleared in K001942 and K021178 respectively. Currently, the SL-PLUS Standard Femoral Stems are of a double taper design and are manufactured from Ti-6Al-7Nb titanium alloy according to ASTM F1295-05 and ISO 5832-11. The primary stem SL-PLUS is available in 14 size options. The SL-PLUS lateralized version is an additional 12 sizes, sizes 1 through 12, of lateralized stems to the SL-PLUS Stems, which were cleared for marketing by FDA on 7/25/00 (K001942). These stems allow for a larger offset from 6 mm (size 1) up to 8.5 mm (size 12) compared to the standard SL-PLUS Stem, thus giving the surgeon a further option to meet the patient's anatomy. The Caput Collum Diaphysis (CCD) angle is 123° compared to 131° for the standard SL-PLUS Stem. The material and surface characteristics remain unchanged for the lateralized stem as compared to the standard stem.
More Information

No
The document describes a hip stem implant and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to relieve hip pain and restore hip motion, which are therapeutic effects for patients suffering from hip joint conditions.

No

Explanation: This device, the SL-PLUS Stem, is an orthopedic implant for hip replacement. Its purpose is to relieve pain and restore motion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical hip stem made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a hip stem intended for surgical implantation to relieve hip pain and restore hip motion due to various conditions affecting the hip joint and femoral head. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics, material, and design of a hip implant. It does not describe any components or processes related to testing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status or disease
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Performing tests in a laboratory setting

The device described is a surgical implant used to treat a condition, which falls under the category of a medical device, but specifically a therapeutic one, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 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 Mr. Tabrizi:

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 Eederal 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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464. 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.
