Intended Use
The proposed device system is an orthopaedic joint intended to replace the damaged or diseased natural hip joint in total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty to provide pain relief and restore function. The hip system is modular in design, consisting of the subject monolithic, femoral stem along with previously cleared, legally marketed compatible Biomet modular heads and/or acetabular components for total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty. Indications for use: 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. 2. Rheumatoid arthritis. 3. Correction of functional deformity. 4. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques. 5. Revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasty Porous coated components are intended for uncemented, biological fixation.
Device Description
The Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip System consists of the subject Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip stem component and legally marketed Biomet modular heads and/or acetabular components for total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty. The subject hip stem combines the design features of the standard length Echo Bi-Metric Press-Fit Stems but offers a shortened stem length design within the legally marketed shortened stem lengths using the same previously cleared materials. Patient contacting, reusable implant specific instruments are manufactured from stainless steel and include an aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) PVD or titanium nitride (TiN) PVD coating. The Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip Stems are proximally fitting, porous coated shortened stems for uncemented, biological fixation. Stem lengths are within the range of legally marketed short stems also cleared for biological fixation. The subject femoral stem utilizes the identical manufacturing processes as the predicates. The subject stem substrate and plasma spray coating are identical to that of K070274 and K090757.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical orthopedic implant and its associated instruments, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "orthopaedic joint intended to replace the damaged or diseased natural hip joint... to provide pain relief and restore function," which are clear therapeutic goals.

No

This device is an orthopedic implant (a hip replacement system) intended to restore function and relieve pain, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device described is a physical orthopedic implant (hip stem) and associated surgical instruments, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "orthopaedic joint intended to replace the damaged or diseased natural hip joint". This is a surgical implant, not a device used to perform tests on samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description details a "femoral stem component" and "modular heads and/or acetabular components". These are physical components designed to be implanted in the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical testing (Range of Motion, Fatigue) and biocompatibility of instruments. These are typical tests for implantable medical devices, not IVDs which would involve analytical and clinical performance studies related to diagnostic accuracy.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic 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.

components for total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty.
Indications for use1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including
osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis.
  1. Rheumatoid arthritis.
  2. Correction of functional deformity.
  3. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and
    trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head

The technological characteristics of the Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip System are the same as those of predicate devices (K070274, K110400 and K050251) in terms of design, material, and principle of operation with the exception of slight modifications as described in this 510(k). Differences include a shortened stem and rounded lateral shoulder when compared to the K070274 primary predicate.

The Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip Stems are proximally fitting, porous coated shortened stems for uncemented, biological fixation. Stem lengths are within the range of legally marketed short stems also cleared for biological fixation. The subject femoral stem utilizes the identical manufacturing processes as the predicates. The subject stem substrate and plasma spray coating are identical to that of K070274 and K090757. The previously cleared, porous plasma spray characterization data on identical substrate was provided in K090757 and used in support of subject 510(k). The subject non-clinical testing was conducted to demonstrate that the differences did not adversely affect safety and efficacy, and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate components. All testing met or exceeded the established acceptance criteria. This information is detailed below in the Performance (Non-clinical) section. Additionally, Biocompatibility information was provided in support of the implant specific instrument material.
