Intended Use
The Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular System is intended for use in cases of total hip replacement for treatment of the following: - Patient conditions of non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., 1. osteoarthritis, post traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis and inflammatory degenerative joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. - Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists. 2. - Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty. 3.
Device Description
The Inter-On Acetabular System is comprised of two components: (1) a polyethylene acetabular insert with an integral Metal inlay (inner diameter), and (2) a Metasul femoral head. Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular Insert: The Inter-On Metasul Acetabular Insert is a hemispherical polyethylene component manufactured from UHMWPE (ASTM F648). The outer diameter of the insert is machined with locking features that mate with one of the previously cleared Inter-Op metallic acetabular shells. The inner diameter which forms the bearing surface of the insert features a metallic Metasul inlay that is integrally locked to the polyethylene insert. The metal inlay is manufactured from Protasul -21WF, a wrought forged CoCrMo alloy (ISO 5832). This inlay is polished to a mirrorfinish and hot-pressed into the UHMWPE backing. Just prior to hot-pressing, two Protasul-10 (CoCr alloy, ASTM F562) pins are press fit into the design of the inlay to help provide added rotational stability. The Metasul inlay is designed for use only with the Metasul head component. The Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular Insert component is available with outside diameters of 49mm to 81mm (in 2mm increments) with an inner diameter of 28mm. Metasul Femoral Head: The Metasul Femoral Heads are manufactured from the same Protasul-21WF (CoCr, ISO 5832) material as the metal inlay of the acetabular component. The design incorporates a 12/14 morse type female taper with beveled face for ease of reduction intraoperatively. The female taper matches the 12/14 male taper used on Sulzer Orthopedics femoral stems. The Metasul femoral heads are designed specifically to articulate with the Metasul inlay of the High precision manufacturing allows for optimal articulating surface acetabular component. geometry (e.g., clearance between the Metasul head and the Metasul inlay). These devices are manufactured within tight tolerances because the success of the system is dependent on optimal performance at this articulating interface. The Metasul heads are available in 28mm diameter with four neck lengths: short (-4mm), medium (neutral), long (+4mm) and extra long (+8mm).

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like polyethylene and metal, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular System is a surgical implant designed to replace components of the hip joint. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for total hip replacement surgery to treat conditions affecting the hip joint. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The description clearly indicates a medical device intended for surgical implantation, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part 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 includes prostheses that consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The femoral component is intended to be fixed with bone cement. The acetabular component is intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class III.(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before May 18, 2016, for any hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before May 18, 2016, been found to be substantially equivalent to a hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular Insert

The Inter-On Metasul Acetabular Insert is a hemispherical polyethylene component manufactured from UHMWPE (ASTM F648). The outer diameter of the insert is machined with locking features that mate with one of the previously cleared Inter-Op metallic acetabular shells.

The inner diameter which forms the bearing surface of the insert features a metallic Metasul inlay that is integrally locked to the polyethylene insert. The metal inlay is manufactured from Protasul -21WF, a wrought forged CoCrMo alloy (ISO 5832). This inlay is polished to a mirrorfinish and hot-pressed into the UHMWPE backing. Just prior to hot-pressing, two Protasul-10 (CoCr alloy, ASTM F562) pins are press fit into the design of the inlay to help provide added rotational stability. The Metasul inlay is designed for use only with the Metasul head component.

The Inter-Op Metasul Acetabular Insert component is available with outside diameters of 49mm to 81mm (in 2mm increments) with an inner diameter of 28mm.

Metasul Femoral Head

The Metasul Femoral Heads are manufactured from the same Protasul-21WF (CoCr, ISO 5832) material as the metal inlay of the acetabular component. The design incorporates a 12/14 morse type female taper with beveled face for ease of reduction intraoperatively. The female taper matches the 12/14 male taper used on Sulzer Orthopedics femoral stems.

The Metasul femoral heads are designed specifically to articulate with the Metasul inlay of the High precision manufacturing allows for optimal articulating surface acetabular component.

Dear Mr. Dhority:

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 control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice Requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General Regulation (21 CFR Part 820), and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
