Intended Use
The Press-fit Stem is intended for treatment of patients who are candidates for total or hemi-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 and are intended to be used in a press fit mode.
Device Description
The femoral stem is straight. The proximal body is trapezoidal in cross-sectional geomety. A Morse type taper is used to receive modular heads. The Press-Fit is fabricated from wrought Ti-6A1-4V. The entire stem is grit blasted. The stem is available in eight sizes.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (femoral stem) and its material properties and design. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.

Yes
The device is a press-fit stem, a type of implant used in hip arthroplasty to replace the natural femoral head and neck affected by various conditions. Its intended use is to "aid the surgeon in relieving the patient of hip pain and restoring hip motion," which are therapeutic benefits.

No

The device is a femoral stem intended for hip arthroplasty, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "femoral stem" fabricated from "wrought Ti-6A1-4V," indicating a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for treating hip conditions. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (femoral stem) made of titanium, designed to be surgically inserted. This is consistent with a medical device used in surgery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is intended for the femoral head and neck, which is a surgical site, not a site for collecting diagnostic samples.
  • Intended User: The intended user is a surgeon, which aligns with a surgical implant.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Press-Fit Stem 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 and avascular necrosis; theumatoid arthritis; correction of functional deformity; revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, which is unmanageable using other techniques.

§ 888.3353 Hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.
