Intended Use
The ULTIMA* Unipolar Head is indicated for use in conjunction with a modular femoral stem in partial hip replacement procedures for patients suffering severe pain and disability due to: 1. femoral neck fracture, 2. avascular necrosis of the femoral head, 3. osteoarthritis, 4. abnormalities where: - the major pathology affects the femoral head, - the acetabular cavity is normal and not deformed or weakened, - acetabular replacement is not required or desirable.
Device Description
The ULTIMA* Unipolar Head is provided in a size range of 38mm to 63mm (outer diameter), in 1mm increments. Sizes from 44mm through 63mm are manufactured as a twopiece assembly. The two pieces are made of cast cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy conforming to ASTM F75. Both pieces are treated with hot isostatic pressing and solution annealing. The two cast pieces are machined and then joined permanently by electron beam welding to form a hollow unipolar head. Sizes from 38mm through 43mm are cast from cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy as a solid head, and are isostatic pressed and solution annealed before machining. Both of these size ranges are finish machined to the outer diameter size. The outer diameter is highly polished for articulation with the implant recipient's natural acetabulum. The ULTIMA* Unipolar Head has a tapered bore which can receive a variety of Adapter Sleeves. The adapter sleeves can be tapered on the outside to the mate with the unipolar head, and tapered on the inside to mate with the appropriate femoral stem trunnion. The adapter sleeves are available in a 10/12 taper, in size increments for -3mm, +0mm, +5mm. and +10mm neck lengths; in a 11/13 taper, in size increments for +0mm, +6mm, and +12mm neck lengths: and in a 12/14 taper, in size increments for +0mm, +3.5mm, and +7mm neck lengths. The adapter sleeves are machined from cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy in wrought bar form conforming ASTM F799.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (a hip replacement component) and its materials and dimensions. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any other elements typically associated with AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is indicated for use in partial hip replacement procedures for patients with conditions like femoral neck fracture, avascular necrosis, and osteoarthritis, which are health conditions. Its function is to replace part of the hip joint to alleviate pain and disability.

No

The ULTIMA* Unipolar Head is a prosthetic device used in partial hip replacement procedures, designed to replace a damaged femoral head. It is an implantable medical device and does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implant made of metal alloys, intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The ULTIMA* Unipolar Head is a physical implant designed to replace the femoral head in a hip joint. It is surgically implanted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for partial hip replacement procedures to address issues like fractures, avascular necrosis, and osteoarthritis. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3360 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.(b)
Classification. Class II.
