No
The description focuses on the materials, dimensions, and mechanical properties of a physical implant (acetabular cup system) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.
Yes
Explanation: The device is an acetabular cup system intended for use in total hip arthroplasty to replace the articular surface of the acetabular socket in patients with painful and/or severely disabled hip joints resulting from specific conditions. This reconstructive surgery is a form of therapy to alleviate pain and improve joint function.
No
Explanation: The device description clearly states that the Biocore9 Acetabular Cup System components are "intended for use in total hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery" and are "implants intended for cemented or cementless arthroplasty." It is designed to replace the articular surface of the acetabular socket, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details physical components made of materials like Ti6A14V alloy and UHMWPe, intended for surgical implantation. This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
- Device Description: The Biocore9 Acetabular Cup System is an implantable device designed to replace the articular surface of the acetabular socket in the hip joint. It is surgically implanted inside the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat painful hip arthritis and related conditions by replacing damaged joint components. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The text clearly describes a surgical implant for orthopedic reconstruction, not a device for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
- Painful hip arthritis refractory to medical management resulting from post-traumatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Painful femoral head. cup arthroplasty, or bi-polar or universal type femoral head replacement.
- Cases where more conventional arthroplasty techniques or arthrodesis are contraindicated because of a difficult clinical management problem, age, sex, occupation, or height of the patient
The Biocore9 Acetabular Cup System components are intended for use in total hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery of skeletally mature patients. The Biocore9 Acetabular Cup System shells and liners are single use implants intended for cemented or cementless arthroplasty.

Device Description
The subject Biocore9 Acetabular Cup System includes acetabular shells, liners, and acetabular bone screws. Components are intended to replace the articular surface of the acetabular socket in the patient's hip joint. It is intended for the reconstruction of painful and/or severely disabled hip joints resulting from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis for patients who would be candidates for total hip procedure, whose acetabular socket has not been excessively damaged by disease or trauma and where damage is primarily associated with the articular surface damage. Acetabular components are available in nine sizes with available outside diameters from 50 mm to 66 mm in 2 mm increments. Bearing components are available in fourteen sizes from 39 mm to 52 mm ID in 1 mm increments. Screw components are available in 6.5 mm diameter in five sizes from 15 mm to 50 mm lengths.
Biocore9 Cancellous Bone screws are manufactured from Ti6A14V alloy (ASTM F136) with low profile screw heads designed to fit the Acetabular shells with nominal diameter of 6.5 mm.
The acetabular shell components are manufactured from Ti-6A1-4V alloy (ASTM F136) with a single radius spherical outer geometry coated with three layers of Commercially Pure (CP)-Ti (ASTM F67) spherical bead porous coating allowing for cemented or cementless fixation and an anatomical shaped rim to limit impingement with the femoral side of the joint or the psoas muscle. A crescent peripheral groove provides for assembly interlock and three rim tabs provide anti rotational interlock with the bearing liner. The acetabular shells are available in two configurations: one with no screw holes and a second with five screw holes for supplemental bone screw fixation. All surfaces are coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN) thin film ceramic coating. Porous structured acetabular shells are intended for cemented fixation.
The acetabular cup bearing liner components are manufactured from UHMWPe (ASTM F648), GUR 1020 Highly cross linked UHMWPe (75KGy MRad /post irradiation annealed) which locks into the acetabular cup shell with ten flexible lip tabs and has three rotation resisting tabs. The liners have inner diameters (ID) intended for use with modular, unipolar, self-centering (bipolar), metallic or ceramic femoral heads within the 39-52 mm OD range and articulate with a femoral head of an appropriate corresponding diameter.
The components of the subject device are compatible with the BioPro PSL Hip System femoral head and stems.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing was conducted in-order-to provide support in establishing substantial equivalence of technological characteristics.
- Testing was conducted for the Porous coating: Tensile strength (ASTM F1147), Shear strength (ASTM F1044), Porosity.
- Bearing Liner connection was tested for the worst case. Tests performed were push-out force, lever out force and axial torque (ASTM F1820).
- A range of motion analysis by 3D modeling (ISO 21535) was conducted for the typical worst-case evaluation and compared the subject system to the competitive devices in three planes.
- Bone screw testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM F543, Standard . Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws, for torsion (torque to failure) and screw pull-out (pull-out to failure).
- Wear simulation was conducted on the 52 mm ID highly cross-linked poly bearing liners. Prior to testing these were subjected to two EO-sterilization cycles and double duration accelerated aging. The wear simulation was in accordance with ISO 14242, using a standard walking gait cycle as specified by ISO 14242-1.
- Wear particle characterization was conducted (ASTM F1877).
- Testing was conducted for the TiN Coating: Thickness, Adhesion Strength to Ti6A14V • substrate, Abrasion resistance, Wear resistance Mode 1
- Dimensional and geometric comparison with predicate device was conducted. •

§ 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)
