Intended Use
Total hip components are indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma, inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis; avascular necrosis; traumatic arthritis; slipped capital epiphysis; fused hip; fracture of the pelvis; diastrophic variant; old, remote osteomvelitis with an extended drainage-free period; nonunion, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques: femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. Smith & Nephew Biolox Delta Ceramic femoral heads are for single use only.
Device Description
The Biolox Delta Ceramic femoral heads feature a 12/14 taper and are intended to be used with existing Smith & Nephew femoral hip stems. The ceramic femoral head mechanically locks with the femoral hip stem via a taper junction and articulates against a Smith & Nephew polyethylene acetabular liner. The subject devices are similar in design and function to the Biolox Forte Alumina Ceramic femoral heads cleared via 510(k) premarket notifications K981847, K991162, and K022958 respectively.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a ceramic femoral head for hip replacement, a purely mechanical device. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a component of a total hip replacement, which is indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery to rehabilitate hips damaged by various conditions. This directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The provided text describes a medical implant (total hip components/femoral heads) used for treatment/rehabilitation, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a ceramic femoral head, which is a physical implantable component, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a total hip component, specifically a ceramic femoral head. This is a surgical implant designed to be placed inside the human body to replace a damaged hip joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery to rehabilitate damaged hips. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 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.

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
