No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (hip joint component) and its material properties and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an artificial hip joint component used to treat conditions like osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, which alleviates symptoms and restores function.
No
The device is described as an implantable prosthetic component for hip arthroplasty, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic tool. Its function is to replace a joint surface, not to detect or identify a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (ceramic modular head) used in hip arthroplasty, not a software product.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the device is a "single use implant" designed to be the "articular surface of an artificial hip joint." It is a physical component implanted into the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and revising failed hip arthroplasty, all of which involve surgical implantation and physical replacement of a joint component.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples, detect biomarkers, or provide any diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
The device is a surgical implant used in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, not a diagnostic tool.

Device Description
The Biomet ceramic modular head is designed to be the articular surface of an artificial hip joint. The highly polished spherical surface articulates with a polyethylene lined cup. The ball attaches to a metallic femoral stem. These heads are compatible with all of Biomet's hip stems with Type I tapers. This submission covers 28mm diameter heads with various neck offsets.
Biomet Zirconia Ceramic Modular Heads are manufactured from Yttria Stabilized Zirconia. Manufacturing of these ceramic devices will be done entirely outside Biomet by Norton Advanced Ceramics. Zirconia has been shown to possess superior wear qualities in comparison to all metals and even alumina ceramics. Mechanical testing was conducted with the final taper design in accordance with the FDA's guideline document. Devices were found to conform to all requirements including compression, pull-off and fatigue strength.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Beres:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the following limitation that the package insert must reflect that the Zirconia Ceramic Modular Heads (Norton Advanced Ceramics) are to be used only with cobaltchrome-molybdenum and Ti6Al4V alloy hip stems with the Type I taper (4°0′, ±0°2′) trunnions.
The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set

forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements as ma concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Requlations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification immediately. An FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
