More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a hip replacement system consisting of physical components (femoral heads, stems, adapters). There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven decision-making components. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing of the physical device.

Yes
The device is described as the "Excia Hip System" and the "Metha® Hip System," both intended to "replace a hip joint" for patients suffering from severe pain and disability due to various conditions, indicating its use for therapeutic purposes.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that the Excia Hip System is an orthopedic implant intended to replace a hip joint, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like femoral heads, stems, and adapters made of materials like CoCrMo, Ti, and ceramic. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "replace a hip joint" in patients with various hip conditions. This is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Hip System" consisting of femoral stems, ceramic heads, and adapters. These are physical implants designed to replace anatomical structures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Excia Hip System and Metha Hip System are orthopedic implants, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 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.
