Intended Use
The Nelson Resurfacing Head is indicated for use in: - a.) non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis - b.) rheumatoid arthritis The Nelson Resurfaced Heads are intended for cemented application and for single use implantation.
Device Description
This device is design to save the natural femur and provide a new surface on the femoral head for the hip to pivot on. The natural acetabulum will remain intact. The device will be manufactured out of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum. This device is intended for use with those who have had significant osteonecrosis of the femoral head. This procedure is limited to treating the diseased portion of the joint without violating the femoral canal with the stem of prosthesis.

No
The document describes a mechanical implant for hip resurfacing and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML device submissions.

Yes
The device is described as a "Resurfacing Head" for the femoral head, indicated for non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis) and rheumatoid arthritis. It is intended to save the natural femur and provide a new surface for the hip to pivot on, which directly treats a medical condition.

No
This device is a resurfacing head for hip replacement, used for treatment rather than diagnosis. Its function is to provide a new surface for the femoral head in patients with conditions like osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implantable device made of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum, designed to be surgically implanted into the femoral head. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The Nelson Resurfacing Head is a surgical implant. It is designed to be surgically placed inside the body to replace a damaged part of the hip joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes treating degenerative joint diseases and rheumatoid arthritis by providing a new surface for the femoral head. This is a treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description clearly indicates a device that is implanted within the body for therapeutic purposes, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Nelson Resurfacing Head DEVICE:

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic resurfacing prosthesis. 888.3400

INTENDED USE: The Nelson Resurfacing Head is indicated for use in:

  • a.) non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis
  • b.) rheumatoid arthritis

The Nelson Resurfaced Heads are intended for cemented application and for single use implantation.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: This device is design to save the natural femur and provide a new surface on the femoral head for the hip to pivot on. The natural acetabulum will remain intact. The device will be manufactured out of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum. This device is intended for use with those who have had significant osteonecrosis of the femoral head. This procedure is limited to treating the diseased portion of the joint without violating the femoral canal with the stem of prosthesis.

POTENTIAL RISKS: The potential risk associated with this device is the same as with any joint resurfacing device. These include but are not limited to:

Fracture of the component Cardiovascular disorders Implant loosening /migration Soft tissue imbalance Deformity of the joint Tissue growth failure Delayed wound healing Metal sensitivity

Bone fracture Hematoma Blood vessel damage Nerve damage Excessive wear Infection Dislocation

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The Nelson Resurfacing Head is substantially equivalent to most head replacement devices on the market in overall function and design. Predicate devices are Wright Medical's Converse and BIOPRO's Ceramic TARA Femoral Resurfacing Component and THARIES.

Re: K983452 Nelson Resurfacing Head Requlatory Class: İI Product Code: KXA Dated: September 28, 1998 Received: September 30, 1998

Dear Ms. Verstynen:

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, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls 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 requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਰ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Druq Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions.
