Device Description

The Signal Medical Corporation Acetabular Component is manufactured of forged titanium, 6 aluminum, 4 vanadium, ELI metal (ASTM F-136, F620). The design is made available in thirteen (13) sizes ranging from 48mm to 72mm. The outside diameter of the cup is coated with a commercially pure titanium sintered beaded surface to enhance either bone ingrowth or cement adherence depending on the choice of the surgeon. Also three circumferentially spaced pins or spikes at 120 degree intervals provide for a primary skeletal fixation and reduce the chance of rotation. The inside assembly of the device and the polyethylene insert are identical to the StelKast Corporation Proform Porous Acetabular Assembly (K950827). The inside diameter system provides a locking ring and three pegs that secure the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene articular surface in place. The acetabular inserts are identical to the StelKast Corporation (K950827) inserts. The ultra high molecular weight polyethylene inserts are secured to the acetabular shell as described above and are designed to accept 28mm femoral heads on their inside diameter.

AI/ML Overview

Unfortunately, the provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies conducted on the Signal Medical Corporation Acetabular Component. The documents primarily focus on the 510(k) submission and FDA clearance process, detailing the device description, indications for use, and a letter confirming substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, including the table of acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader multi-case study results.

§ 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)
