Intended Use
The PSI device is indicated for uncemented use as the femoral component in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for replacing the hip joint of patients whose hip joint has been damaged by degenerative joint disease, fracture of previous arthroplasty. Each PSI stem is specifically designed for clinical cases where the patient would see added benefit from a femoral component designed to match the natural bone geometry of the femur.
Device Description
The Kalros™ Orthopaedics Patient Specific Implant (PSI) hip femoral component is designed using the patient's natural bone geometry to construct an implant to better fit and fill the patient's femoral canal relative to other commercially available standard hip stems. Since each stem is matched to a particular patient, a precise device description cannot be provided, as the device design will vary from patient depending upon their unique, naturally occurring bone geometry. Kairos™ Orthopaedics specifies eight design parameters that define an "envelope" of dimensional limits within which all PSI stems are defined.

No
The description focuses on patient-specific design based on bone geometry and engineering analysis, with no mention of AI or ML terms or processes.

Yes
The device is a Patient Specific Implant (PSI) for total hip arthroplasty, indicating it is intended to replace or restore a damaged hip joint, which is a therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is a patient-specific implant for total hip arthroplasty, designed to replace a damaged hip joint. Its purpose is therapeutic (replacement of damaged tissue), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hip femoral component," which is a physical implant, not software. The summary also describes mechanical testing and stress analysis of this physical component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the PSI device is a femoral component used in total hip arthroplasty (THA). This is a surgical implant designed to replace a damaged hip joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace the hip joint, not to perform diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant, not a test kit, reagent, or instrument used for analyzing samples.
  • Input: The input is imaging data (CT or X-Ray) used for designing the implant, not biological samples for analysis.

The device is a surgical implant designed for direct use within the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Additionally, an engineering stress analysis was performed on the envelope of design parameters to ensure fatigue performance of the PSI femoral component comparable to a clinically proven standard hip stem. Mechanical testing performed by Kairos ™Orthopaedics on a representative PSI stem verified these stress analysis calculations.

§ 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.

Substantial Equivalence:

Several commercially available standard line hip products are substantially equivalent to the Kairos™ Orthopaedics' PSI hip femoral component with respect to overall design, materials, intended use, and sterilization methods. Additionally, the manufacturing methods and applied surface treatments are substantially the same as those used in the production of a wide range of currently marketed standard line hip products.

It is our understanding that other anatomically based hip stems have received 510(k) clearance in the past, including the following:

    1. Patient Matched Implant (PMI) Hip Femoral Component Biomet, Inc. (Warsaw, Indiana)
    1. Techmedica CAD/CAM Custom Hip Techmedica, Inc. (Camarillo, California)
    1. Biopro DRG Custom Hip Replacement System Biopro, Inc. (Port Huron, Michigan)

Of these. Biomet's Patient Matched Implant (PMI) is the most similar and is still presently marketed. Biomet's PMI hip stem is also a patient matched hip stem which uses patient data to design and manufacture a hip stem to match a particular patient's naturally occurring bone geometry. Due to the similarities in the general device design concept, Kairos™ Orthopaedics believes that the Biomet PMI stem is ideal for comparison to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of Kairos™ Orthopaedics' PSI stem. The table on the following page summarizes these feature comparisons.

Additionally, an engineering stress analysis was performed on the envelope of design parameters to ensure fatigue performance of the PSI femoral component comparable to a clinically proven standard hip stem. Mechanical testing performed by Kairos ™Orthopaedics on a representative PSI stem verified these stress analysis calculations.
