Intended Use
The CoreHip® System is intended to replace a hip joint. The device is intended for: · Patients suffering from severe hip pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral head and nonunion of previous fractures of the femur - · Patients with congenital hip dysplasia, protrusion acetabuli, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis - · Patients suffering from disability due to previous fusion - · Patients with acute femoral neck fractures The CoreHip® System is available with two (2) types of femoral stem is manufactured from CoCrMo and is intended for cemented fixation and the other femoral stem is manufactured from Ti with Plasmapore® and is intended for uncemented (pressfit) fixation.
Device Description
The CoreHip System includes cemented and uncemented (pressfit) stems. The CoreHip uncemented (pressfit) Stem is offered as CoreHip uncemented (pressfit) Primary and CoreHip uncemented (pressfit) Extended which are manufactured from Ti with a Ti plasma spray coating (Plasmapore®) proximally and rough-blasted distally. The Cemented Stem is offered as CoreHip Cemented Primary stem which is manufactured from CoCrMo. The CoreHip System includes stem variants of varus, neutral, valgus and dysplasia is offered in CoreHip uncemented (pressfit) Primary only), which have different medial curves in order to address different patient morphologies.

More Information

No
The description focuses on the materials, design variations, and mechanical testing of a hip implant system. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes

The device is intended to replace a hip joint to alleviate severe pain and disability caused by various medical conditions, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The CoreHip® System is intended to replace a hip joint, indicating it is a therapeutic or reconstructive device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CoreHip System includes physical components like femoral stems manufactured from CoCrMo and Ti, which are hardware implants.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace a hip joint in patients with various conditions causing severe hip pain and disability. This is a surgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device into the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a femoral stem made of CoCrMo or Ti, designed for cemented or uncemented fixation. These are components of a hip prosthesis, which is an implantable medical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. The CoreHip® System is an implantable medical device used inside the body to replace a joint.

N/A

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Endurance properties of the CoreHip cemented and uncemented (pressfit) stem, head and neck were evaluated in accordance to Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Non-clinical Information for Femoral Prostheses, September 17, 2007; ASTM F2068-15; ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6. Additional Femoral head/Taper testing was completed. Range of Motion (ROM) analysis to satisfy the requirements of ISO 21535 was completed. Testing demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the Primary and reference predicate devices.

PYROGEN TESTING: LAL testing was completed and met the pyrogen limit of 20 E.U./device.

CONCLUSION: Based on the performance tests completed, AIS believes that CoreHip System is substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate Excia® Total Hip System and Reference Predicate Fitmore Hip System.

§ 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.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Endurance properties of the CoreHip cemented and uncemented (pressfit) stem, head and neck were evaluated in accordance to Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Non-clinical Information for Femoral Prostheses, September 17, 2007; ASTM F2068-15; ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6. Additional Femoral head/Taper testing was completed. Range of Motion (ROM) analysis to satisfy the requirements of ISO 21535 was completed. Testing demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the Primary and reference predicate devices.

PYROGEN TESTING: LAL testing was completed and met the pyrogen limit of 20 E.U./device.

CONCLUSION: Based on the performance tests completed, AIS believes that CoreHip System is substantially equivalent to the Primary Predicate Excia® Total Hip System and Reference Predicate Fitmore Hip System.
