The device description and intended use focus on the material, size, and mechanical properties of a physical implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No
Explanation: The device is a prosthetic implant (femoral head prosthesis) used to replace damaged parts of the hip, which is a restorative rather than a therapeutic function in the strict sense of actively treating a disease beyond replacement.
No
Explanation: The device is a prosthesis intended for surgical implantation to treat fractures or avascular necrosis, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states the device is a physical prosthesis made of CoCrMo, which is a hardware component.
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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The PLUS Fracture Head Prosthesis is a physical implant designed to replace parts of the femoral head and neck. It is surgically implanted into the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat fractures and avascular necrosis of the femoral head and neck by replacing the damaged bone with a prosthesis. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PLUS Fracture Head Prosthesis is intended for use in fractures of the femoral neck and fractures or avascular necrosis of the femoral head with all PLUS hip stem prostheses, which have the appropriate 12/14 Morse Taper.

Device Description
The PLUS Fracture Head Prosthesis comes in 12 different sizes and in two neck lengths. The PLUS Fracture Head Prosthesis is made of CoCrMo and its highly polished metal surface minimizes friction between the implant and the acetabulum. The standard cone allows various possible combinations with all PLUS hip stems. This makes it possible to obtain better stress distribution, which can reduce wear on the acetabulum and pain for the patient. The PLUS Fracture Head Prosthesis can be changed into a total hip prosthesis without replacing the femoral components.

§ 888.3360 Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Loch:
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, Drug, 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 Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A 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 Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
