Intended Use
The Type 3 Femoral Components are intended to be used in primary or revision total hip arthroplasty, specifically in the presence of severe proximal bone loss. These stems are intended to be used with Howmedica V40™ femoral heads, Howmedica Unipolar and Bipolar components, and Howmedica acetabular components. These femoral stems are designed to be press fit into the proximal femur.
Device Description
The Type 3 Femoral Components are a series of Titanium femoral stems intended to be used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty, specifically in the presence of severe proximal bone loss. The stems are intended to be used with Howmedica V40™ femoral heads, Howmedica Unipolar and Bipolar components, and Howmedica acetabular components. These stems are modular, with varying proximal body and distal stem sizes to accommodate various anatomical requirements. These femoral stems are designed to be press fit into the proximal femur. These femoral components are manufactured from Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, which conforms to the requirements of ASTM specification F 136.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material, design, and intended use of a physical implant (femoral stem) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a femoral stem used in total hip arthroplasty, which is a medical procedure to treat a condition (severe proximal bone loss) and restore function.

No

This device is a femoral stem intended for use in hip arthroplasty, which is a surgical procedure to replace a joint. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a series of Titanium femoral stems, which are physical hardware components intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "primary or revision total hip arthroplasty," which is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is a "femoral stem," a type of implant used in hip replacement surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples from the human body (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or treatment monitoring.
    • Using reagents or other laboratory components.

The device is clearly an implantable medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic tool used in vitro.

§ 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.

The Type 3 Femoral Components are a series of Titanium femoral stems intended to be used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty, specifically in the presence of severe proximal bone loss. The stems are intended to be used with Howmedica V40™ femoral heads, Howmedica Unipolar and Bipolar components, and Howmedica acetabular components. These stems are modular, with varying proximal body and distal stem sizes to accommodate various anatomical requirements. These femoral stems are designed to be press fit into the proximal femur.

These femoral components are manufactured from Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, which conforms to the requirements of ASTM specification F 136.

The substantial equivalence of these Femoral components is based on an equivalence in intended use, materials, design, and relative indications and contraindications to Howmedica's Partnership™ Revision Femoral Components (K972893) and Modular Replacement System (K954559), Intermedics Orthopedics' Wagner Revision Stem (K960588) and Link's MP Reconstruction Hip System.

Testing has demonstrated that the fatigue load carrying capacity of the Type 3 Femoral stems exceeds the minimum ISO load requirements.
