More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical hip prosthesis and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as being for "arthroplasty therapy" as a result of femoral neck fractures, directly indicating its therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is a prosthesis intended for arthroplasty therapy due to femoral neck fractures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical hip joint prosthesis comprised of a CoCrMo shell, polyethylene insert, and security ring, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states the device is a "one-piece hip joint prosthesis comprised of a CoCrMo shell, a polyethylene insert and polyethylene security ring." This is an implantable device used in surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "in arthroplasty therapy as a result of femoral neck fractures and is to be used in conjunction with standard femoral replacement implant." This describes a surgical procedure and the device's role within it.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples outside the body.

Device Description

The PLUS Bipolar Prosthesis CoCrMo is a one-piece hip joint prosthesis comprised of a CoCrMo shell, a polyethylene insert and polyethylene security ring. The advantages are 1) self-centering effect of the positive-excentric Bipolar prosthesis promotes the neutral position of the implant, 2) protects the acetabulum because the main articulation is between the implant femoral head and the Bipolar prosthesis. 3) optimum protection against the risk of dislocation with a built-in security ring, 4) the polyethylene insert is firmly fastened into the metal shell which prevents micromotion and polyethylene wear, 5) highly polished metal surface minimizes friction between implant and acetabulum.

§ 888.3390 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace the head and neck of the femur. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a snap-fit acetabular component made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device may be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) or implanted by impaction.(b)
Classification. Class II.
