G. Substantial Equivalence Comparison
Substantial equivalence of the subject Velora Acetabular System to the primary predicate cleared via K190904 is based on the following:
- The subject Velora Acetabular System and the primary predicate K190904 have the same indications for use and intended use, and meet the same acceptance criteria for performance testing.
- The subject Velora Acetabular System and reference devices EMPHASYS Acetabular System (K243977) and G7 Acetabular System (K190660) share similar designs and sizes.
- The subject Velora Acetabular System differs in technological characteristics from the primary predicate (K190904) as the device is additively manufactured and has an integrally built 3D-printed porous surface. The differences in technological characteristics were assessed through mechanical testing and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
H. Non-Clinical Performance Evaluation
- Axial disassembly (ASTM F1820)
- Lever-out disassembly (ASTM F1820)
- Torque-out disassembly (ASTM F1820)
- Liner impingement (ASTM F2582)
- Acetabular Cup Fatigue (ASTM F3090)
- Range of motion (ISO 21535)
- Wear performance rationale
- Acetabular Cup Deformation (ISO 7206-12)
I. Conclusions
Based on the comparison of indications for use, intended use, as well as the performance testing conducted, the subject Velora Acetabular System is shown to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate cleared via K190904. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
