Intended Use
The use of the Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup System is indicated for: a) Total Hip Replacement in severely disabled joints as a result of degenerative arthritis or avascular necrosis; b) Secondary revision of a previously unsuccessful acetabular component; c) Other hip problems where clinical experience has shown that alternative modes of treatment are less likely to achieve satisfactory results; d) Fracture dislocation of the hip, or irreducible fractures in which adequate fixation cannot be obtained; e) Non-union of femoral neck or head fractures; and f) Salvage of a failed primary or secondary total or hemi hip.
Device Description
Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cups are available in OD sizes from 40 mm to 72 mm (in 2 mm increments), and with 4 possible ID size options (22 mm, 26 mm, 28 mm, and 32 mm). Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cups are to be implanted using the Implex Acetabular Cup Instrumentation System.

The summary describes a physical medical device (acetabular cup system) and its intended use and physical characteristics. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device, an acetabular cup system, is used to replace damaged hip joints and address various hip problems, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition.

No
The provided text describes the Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup System as an implant used for total hip replacement and other hip problems. Its intended use and device description indicate it is a therapeutic or reconstructive device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical implantable device (Acetabular Cups) with specific dimensions and materials, requiring surgical implantation using instrumentation. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a physical implantable device (an acetabular cup) used in surgical procedures for hip replacement and revision. It is implanted directly into the patient's body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.

The surgical instrumentation and design geometry of the Device Technological predicate Implex A-230 Porous Acetabular Cup System, Characteristics and Non-Cemented, and the Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup Comparison to System are equivalent. The primary difference between the Predicate Device: two device systems, is the porous metal of the shell. The Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup shell is comprised of porous tantalum, and the Implex A-230 Porous Acetabular Cup is comprised of porous coated titanium alloy. Testing conducted to characterize the materials and the Performance Data: performance characteristics of the device under defined laboratory conditions was provided to support a finding of substantial equivalence. Conclusion: The Implex A-240 HEP Acetabular Cup System is

substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, safety, and effectiveness.
