Intended Use

The PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stem is indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:

  • non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia;
  • inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis;
  • correction of functional deformity; and.
  • revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed

The PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stems are single use components, intended for use in conjunction with associated ceramic or metal femoral heads as part of an uncemented total hip arthroplasty.

Device Description

The modular PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed hip stem is an uncemented distal femoral implant designed to couple with Wright Medical Technology's PROFEMUR® CoCr modular necks. The stem design was developed from the previously marketed PROFEMUR® Z Hip Stem ('STEM' K021346) and features the identical modular neck taper socket and is made of the identical Titanium alloy (ASTM F620) as previous hip stem designs by Wright. The PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stem features the identical substrate cross-sectional geometry as the PROFEMUR® Z Hip Stem (K0213146) with the addition of titanium plasma spray coating conforming to ASTM F1580 applied according to WMT specifications which covers the proximal 1/3 of the stem.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stem. As a Class III medical device, its clearance is primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than meeting specific performance acceptance criteria through clinical or advanced non-clinical studies. The information available focuses on the device's design, materials, and manufacturing being identical or highly similar to previously cleared devices.

Here's an analysis of the provided information concerning acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those (or is substantially equivalent):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly based on Predicate Equivalence)Reported Device Performance / Evidence
Material CompositionIdentical Titanium alloy (ASTM F620) as previous hip stem designs by Wright.
Substrate Cross-Sectional GeometryIdentical to the PROFEMUR® Z Hip Stem (K0213146).
Modular Neck Taper SocketIdentical to previous hip stem designs by Wright.
Titanium Plasma Spray Coating (Proximal 1/3)Conforms to ASTM F1580, applied according to WMT specifications. Identical to the plasma spray coating used on the PRO-FEMUR Hip System (K012091). Verified by testing within a vendor Master File.
Surface Finish (Non-coated portions)Identical to the PROFEMUR® Z Hip Stem ('STEM Hip Replacement System' K021346).
Fatigue Performance (Distal & Proximal)Evaluated according to ISO 7206-4, 6, and 8. (Specific "acceptance criteria" for these tests are not provided, but the statement implies successful completion to demonstrate equivalence/safety.)
Fretting CorrosionEvaluated according to ASTM F1875. (Specific "acceptance criteria" are not provided, but the statement implies successful completion.)
Axial Disassembly ForceEvaluated according to ASTM F2009. (Specific "acceptance criteria" are not provided, but the statement implies successful completion.)
Intended Use & Indications for UseIdentical to existing Wright PROFEMUR® hip stems and predicate devices (e.g., K041114, K041586, K051995, K052915, K053588, K060358, K080663, K081090, K091423, and K100866 for indications; K021346 and K012091 for overall device). Intended for use in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with specific conditions. Also for revision procedures.
BiocompatibilityImplied by the use of ASTM F620 Titanium alloy and conformity to "Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing Bone or Bone Cement" (April 28, 1994). Specific test results or criteria are not detailed in this summary, but these are standard considerations for such devices.
SterilityAs a single-use component, sterility would be an inherent requirement, but no specific testing details or criteria are mentioned in this summary. It would be part of general manufacturing and regulatory compliance.
Range of SizesOffered in the same range of sizes as the predicate device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The "test set" for this device, as described, primarily refers to non-clinical (bench) testing performed on the device itself, comparing its physical and mechanical properties to established standards and predicate devices.

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test, but standard engineering tests would involve a sufficient number of samples to ensure statistical validity for the specific test (e.g., typically N=3 to N=5 or more for destructive tests like fatigue).
  • Data Provenance: The tests are performed on the manufactured PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stem. This is prospective testing of the device's physical samples. No human or animal data is described for these non-clinical tests.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is established by recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM) and the specifications of the predicate device, not by expert medical opinion on a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable. Adjudication typically refers to the process of resolving discrepancies in expert human reviews for clinical or image-based studies. For non-clinical tests, compliance with standard test methods and evaluation against defined specifications are the "adjudication" mechanism.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No MRMC study was done. This device is a mechanical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This device is a mechanical implant, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is based on:

  • Engineering Standards: ISO 7206-4, 6, and 8 (for fatigue), ASTM F1875 (fretting corrosion), ASTM F2009 (axial disassembly), ASTM F1580 (titanium plasma spray coating).
  • Predicate Device Specifications: The design, materials, and surface finish are compared directly to previously cleared predicate devices (e.g., K021346, K012091).
  • WMT Specifications: Internal company specifications for manufacturing and coating application.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

There is no training set in the context of this 510(k) submission. This is not a machine learning or AI device. The process relies on demonstrating equivalence through engineering analysis and non-clinical testing.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since there is no training set, this question is not applicable.

Summary of the Study Proving Acceptance Criteria (Substantial Equivalence):

The device's "acceptance" for market clearance (through 510(k)) is predicated on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The "study" involves a comprehensive comparison and non-clinical testing program:

  • Design & Material Comparison: A detailed analysis showing that the PROFEMUR® Z Titanium Plasma Sprayed Hip Stem is identical in material (ASTM F620), substrate cross-sectional geometry, modular neck taper socket, and non-coated surface finish to predicate devices (K021346).
  • Coating Equivalence: The titanium plasma spray coating is shown to conform to ASTM F1580, applied to WMT specifications, and is "identical" to the coating used on another cleared predicate (K012091). This is supported by testing referenced in a vendor Master File (though specific results are not included in this summary).
  • Mechanical Performance Testing: The coated stem underwent standard fatigue tests (ISO 7206-4, 6, and 8) and fretting corrosion and axial disassembly force tests (ASTM F1875 and F2009). While specific pass/fail criteria or results are not detailed in this summary, the completion of these tests in accordance with relevant standards implicitly demonstrates that the device performs acceptably and equivalently to current standards for hip stems.
  • Intended Use & Indications Equivalence: The device's intended use and indications for use are stated to be "identical" to existing Wright PROFEMUR® hip stems, which have multiple prior 510(k) clearances.

In essence, the study demonstrating "acceptance" for this device is the body of evidence provided in the 510(k) submission that systematically compares the new device against its predicates and relevant engineering standards, asserting that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. No clinical testing was provided to support this Class III modular hip stem.

§ 888.3330 Hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part 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 includes prostheses that consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The femoral component is intended to be fixed with bone cement. The acetabular component is intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class III.(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before May 18, 2016, for any hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before May 18, 2016, been found to be substantially equivalent to a hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
