Intended Use
The INTERSEAL® Acetabular Cup is indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: 1) non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia; 2) inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis; 3) correction of functional deformity; 4) revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and, 5) treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.
Device Description
The INTERSEAL® Acetabular Screw Hole Plug provides an optional filler for INTERSEAL® acetabular shell screw holes to prevent a pathway for wear debris through unused screw holes holes during placement of the acetabular shell without screws. The INTERSEAL® Acetabular Screw Hole Plug is machined from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) conforming to ASTM F 648. The one-piece, snap-in design will be offered sterile in a pack of up to four plugs for insertion into the screw holes of the INTERSEAL® Acetabular Cup by the surgeon during implantation.

No
The document describes a mechanical device (an acetabular screw hole plug) made of UHMWPE, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an optional filler for screw holes in an acetabular cup, which is part of a total hip arthroplasty (a surgical procedure). While the acetabular cup itself (and the overall arthroplasty) is therapeutic, the screw hole plug's function is to prevent wear debris, not directly treat a medical condition or restore a physiological function in a therapeutic manner. It is a component used during the implantation of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is an acetabular cup component for total hip arthroplasty, used to reduce pain and improve hip function, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device is machined from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and is a physical implantable component (screw hole plug).

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The INTERSEAL® Acetabular Cup and Screw Hole Plug are implants used in total hip arthroplasty. They are physical components inserted into the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace or augment the hip joint for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The INTERSEAL® Acetabular Cup is indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:

    1. non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia;
    1. inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis;
  • correction of functional deformity; 3)
  • revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; 4) and,
  • ૨) treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.

§ 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.
