Intended Use
The Foundation® Porous Acetabular System is intended for treatment of patients who are candidates for total hip arthroplasty because the natural femoral head and neck have been affected by osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis or femoral neck fracture, and revision arthroplasty where bone loss is minimal. These devices are intended to aid the surgeon in relieving the patient of hip pain and restoring hip motion. The intended use is press-fit. The indications for use of the total hip replacement prosthesis include: degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and nonimianmatory - organisatoid arthritis; correction of functional deformity; avasodial nocroors, where other treatments where devices have failed; and treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the treatinent of their with head involvement, which is unmanageable using other techniques.
Device Description
The Foundation® Porous Acetabular System Cups are fabricated from wrought/forged or cast Ti-6AI-4V that conforms to ASTM F136 or F1108, respectively. The outside surfaces are coated with commercially pure titanium beads (ASTM F67) for the purpose of providing a porous surface for enhanced press-fit fixation. The hemispherical and flared shells are available with and without screw holes. The geometry of the screw holes is such that a 12° angulation of the screws is possible. The poly liners are manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and are available in a neutral, 10°, and 20° hooded design. The hooded design is intended for those patients prone to subluxation because of soft tissue laxity.

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as a "total hip replacement prosthesis" intended for "relieving the patient of hip pain and restoring hip motion" due to various debilitating conditions of the hip joint, which are therapeutic goals.

No

This device is an implantable medical device (acetabular system for total hip arthroplasty) used to treat conditions like osteoarthritis and hip fractures. It is designed to relieve pain and restore motion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is fabricated from physical materials (Ti-6AI-4V, titanium beads, polyethylene) and is a physical implant (acetabular cup and liners) for total hip arthroplasty.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the surgical treatment of hip joint conditions through total hip arthroplasty and revision arthroplasty. This is a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (acetabular cup and liner) designed to replace a damaged hip joint. It does not involve reagents, instruments for analyzing biological samples, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), providing diagnostic information, or being used in a laboratory setting.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a therapeutic implant used in surgery.

§ 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.
