Intended Use
The indications for use of the total hip replacement prosthesis include: degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; rheumatoid arthritis; correction of functional deformity; revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, which is unmanageable using other techniques.
Device Description
Zirconia ceramic heads for use with Foundation® Forged (K952191), Textured (K935263) and Porous Stems (K952297), the Encore® Vitality™ Stem (K962560) and the SL and SLR PLUS (K932481) Hip Stems which have been cleared for commercial distribution.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a total hip replacement prosthesis and its components. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on the materials and compatibility with existing cleared stems.

Yes.
The device is a total hip replacement prosthesis intended to treat degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, correct functional deformity, and treat fractures, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a total hip replacement prosthesis for treating various joint diseases and fractures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Zirconia ceramic heads for use with Foundation® Forged... and Porous Stems... and the Encore® Vitality™ Stem... and the SL and SLR PLUS... Hip Stems". This describes physical components of a hip replacement prosthesis, not software.

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 about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states this device is a "total hip replacement prosthesis" and "Zirconia ceramic heads for use with... Hip Stems." This is an implantable medical device used within the body, not for testing specimens outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes treating conditions like degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and fractures. These are conditions treated by replacing a joint, not by analyzing bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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. Bock:

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 Femoral Heads for use with the Foundation Forged, Textured, and Porous Stems, the Encore Vitality Stem, and SL and SLR PLUS Hip Stems are to be used only with cobalt-chrome and Ti6Al4V alloy hip stems with the Cerasiv taper 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.
