The Apex Hip System is intended for primary or revision total hip replacement. The femoral hip stems and acetabular cup are intended for uncemented fixation and single use implantation. These prostheses 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.
Apex Modular Head sizes 28, 32, 36, and 40 mm with a + 10.5mm offset
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Apex Modular Heads, +10.5mm offset:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for Apex Modular Heads, +10.5mm offset
This submission (K101575) is for a medical device seeking substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are primarily established by demonstrating equivalency to the predicate devices through non-clinical testing, rather than defining novel performance thresholds for clinical outcomes.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given that this is a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence based on non-clinical testing, the "acceptance criteria" are implicitly met by demonstrating that the subject device's performance is comparable to or better than previously cleared predicate devices for relevant mechanical and material properties. The device performance is reported as meeting the specified standards, thereby indicating compliance with the implicit acceptance criteria for safety and effectiveness in comparison to the predicates.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Equivalence & Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance: | |
| Range of Motion (ROM) per ISO-21565-2007 | Conducted; results imply compliance with established ROM characteristics for hip prostheses and comparability to predicates. |
| Finite Element Analysis (FEA) per ISO-7206-4 | Conducted; results imply structural integrity and comparability to predicates under simulated loading. |
| Fatigue Strength per ISO 7206-6, ASTM F2068-09 | Conducted; results imply sufficient fatigue life and comparability to predicates under cyclic loading. |
| Material Composition: | |
| Wrought cobalt chromium (per ASTM F1537) | Device made of Wrought cobalt chromium (per ASTM F1537) |
| Sterilization: | |
| Ethylene oxide sterilization with SAL 10⁻⁶ | Device sterilized with Ethylene oxide with SAL 10⁻⁶ (comparable to predicates) |
| Packaging: | |
| Paper Board Box, Double Tyvek inner pouch | Device packaged in Paper Board Box, Double Tyvek inner pouch (comparable to predicates) |
| Design Characteristics (for equivalency): | |
| Taper Design: Size "N" bore in ASTM F1636-95 | Device has Size "N" bore in ASTM F1636-95 (identical to predicates) |
| Head Diameters: 28, 32, 36, 40 mm | Device offered in 28, 32, 36, 40 mm (identical to predicates) |
| Offset: +10.5mm | Device explicitly has +10.5mm offset (the differentiating feature being evaluated for equivalence) |
2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated in terms of number of physical units tested beyond the mention of "tests were conducted." For mechanical and material testing, sample sizes are typically defined by the specific ASTM/ISO standards referenced (e.g., minimum number of specimens for fatigue testing). The provided text indicates that the tests were conducted, implying adequate sample sizes were used as required by the standards.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated (e.g., specific country or lab). The tests are described as "Non-Clinical Test Summary," meaning they were laboratory-based and not derived from human subjects. The reference to ISO and ASTM standards suggests internationally recognized testing protocols. Retrospective or prospective designations are not applicable as these are non-clinical lab tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- Not applicable. For this type of mechanical and material performance testing, "ground truth" is established by adherence to recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM) and the results obtained from the tests themselves using calibrated equipment. There is no concept of expert consensus for establishing ground truth in this context, unlike clinical studies involving image interpretation or diagnosis.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable. As described above, the "test set" refers to the mechanical and material testing of the device components. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are employed in clinical studies, particularly in situations where there is subjective human interpretation or diagnostic agreement required (e.g., radiology reads).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No. The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were performed." Therefore, no MRMC comparative effectiveness study was conducted. This device is seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical performance data and material specifications.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
- Not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant (hip prosthesis), not a software algorithm or AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" is not relevant.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- Engineering and Material Standards Compliance, and Mechanical Test Results: The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by demonstrating compliance with recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM) for mechanical properties, material composition, and manufacturing processes relevant to hip implants. The results of the non-clinical tests (ROM, FEA, Fatigue Strength) serve as the evidence to support this compliance and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant and does not involve AI or machine learning algorithms that require a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. No training set was used or required for this device.

§ 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.
