Intended Use
The ApeX-LNK Poly™ Acetabular Cup Liners are intended for use with the Apex Modular™ Acetabular Cup, in combination with the Apex Modular, Apex K2™, or Apex K1™ Hip Stem in total hip replacement procedures. The acetabular cup liners are intended to articulate with a metal (cobalt chromium) or ceramic (alumina) femoral head. This prosthesis is intended for single use implantation, and may be used for the following conditions, as appropriate: - Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis and avascular . necrosis; - Rheumatoid arthritis; ● - Correction of functional deformity: . - Congenital dislocation; ● - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; ● - Femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur. .
Device Description
The ApeX-LNK Poly™ Acetabular Cup Liners are manufactured of compression molded, crosslinked and stabilized ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, sterilized using ethylene oxide. The articular geometry of the liners are compatible with existing Apex Modular femoral heads, manufactured from cobalt chrome or alumina ceramic, 32 mm diameter, with various offsets.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (acetabular cup liners) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is an acetabular liner for total hip replacement procedures, which is explicitly described as a prosthesis. Prostheses are therapeutic devices.

No

The device description clearly states it is an acetabular cup liner, which is a prosthesis used in total hip replacement procedures, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states the device is manufactured from "compression molded, crosslinked and stabilized ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene," indicating it is a physical implant, 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 a surgical implant for total hip replacement procedures. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and manufacturing of a physical implant (acetabular cup liners). This is consistent with a medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is a prosthetic implant used to replace a damaged joint.

§ 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.

6. Basis of Substantial Equivalence

The ApeX-LNK Poly Acetabular Cup Liners described in this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on similarities in design, intended use, material and manufacturing methods. The locking mechanism is identical to the locking mechanism in the Apex Modular Acetabular Cup Liners (K031110) and the Apex HCLA Acetabular Cup Liners (K062489). The material, manufacturing, sterilization and packaging methods are identical to those of the Apex HCLA Acetabular Cup Liners.

Dear Dr. Cheal:

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 (21CFR 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.
