Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Material Integrity: Overall integrity has been previously determined in the initial 510(k) submissions K921113 and K921114. HA coating performance characteristics are further defined in the FDA Master File MAF339 (BioCoat, Inc.) Data obtained meets or exceeds predicate device data.
The evaluation of the interfacial shear strength of the uncoated sintered bead surface of the Exactech Porous System indicates excellent bonding of the beaded surface to the T1-6A1-4V substrate. Interfacial shear strengths in excess of 27 N/sq.mm can be expected with little variability based on the standard deviations observed for ten coating samples tested.
The integrity of the HA coating has been characterized. The HA coating tensile strength on porous coated Ti alloy has been shown to be approximately 55 MPa. The shear strength of the HA on Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo solid substrates has been shown to be between 5300 and 6500 psi. (36.6-44.8 MPa) while on porous coated Ti-6A1-4V and Co-Cr-Mo substrates the shear strength of the HA is between 5000 and 5900 psi. (34.5-40.7 MPa). Shear fatigue testing of the HA on Ti-6A1-4V shows a fatigue strength of 2000 psi. (13.8 MPa.) at 10 million cycles.

§ 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.
