Intended Use
The POLARSTEM Standard and Lateral Femoral Stems with Ti/HA are indicated for: · Advanced degeneration of the hip joint as a result of degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis. · Fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head · Failure of previous hip surgery: joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement arthroplasty, or total hip replacement • All forms of osteoarthritis · Patients with hips at risk of distocation · Femoral neck fracture or proximal fracture to hip joint The POLARSTEM Standard and Lateral Femoral Stem with Ti/HA is intended for single use only and is to be implanted without bone cement.
Device Description
The POLARSTEM Standard and Lateral Stems with Ti/HA are similar to the SL-PLUS Standard and Lateral Femoral Stems with TilHA cleared via K120211 and the Anthology Hip Stems cleared via K052792. The subject stems are made from forged titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V with a double coating (triple layer): titanium plasma sprayed coating (two layers) with an additional thin layer of hydroxyapatite.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (femoral stem) and its material properties and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a femoral stem intended to treat various conditions of the hip joint, such as degeneration, fractures, and failures of previous hip surgeries, all of which aim to restore or improve physiological function.

No

Explanation: The device described is a femoral stem intended for implantation during hip replacement surgery. Its purpose is to treat various hip joint conditions, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description clearly states it is a femoral stem made from forged titanium alloy with a coating, indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for treating conditions of the hip joint. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of titanium alloy with coatings, designed to be surgically placed in the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and fatigue testing, which are relevant to the structural integrity of an implant, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical implant used to replace or support a damaged hip joint.

Summary of Performance Studies

A review of the mechanical data indicates that the POLARSTEM Standard and Lateral Femoral Stems with Ti/HA are capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.

The following mechanical tests were used as a basis for the determination of substantial equivalence:

  • Stem Fatigue Testing
  • Neck Fatigue Testing

All tests which are in relation to the surface characterization (physical, chemical or mechanical) are discussed in detail in the Ti/HA Coating Master File MAF -- 1762.

§ 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.
