No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and materials of a ceramic hip implant component, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a Biomet Zirconia Ceramic Modular Head, which is designed to be the articular surface of an artificial hip joint, intended for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and revision of failed hip arthroplasty. These are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating or alleviating medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an "articular surface of an artificial hip joint" and is used in hip arthroplasty for conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This indicates it is a therapeutic or prosthetic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical implant (ceramic modular head) designed to be part of an artificial hip joint, articulating with a polyethylene lined cup and attaching to a metallic femoral stem. It is manufactured from Yttria Stabilized Zirconia and undergoes mechanical testing. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- This device is a physical implant designed to replace a part of the hip joint. Its function is mechanical and structural, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.
The description clearly states its purpose is to be the articular surface of an artificial hip joint and its indications for use relate to treating conditions affecting the hip joint itself.

Device Description
The Biomet ceramic modular head is designed to be the articular surface of an artificial hip joint. The highly polished spherical surface articulates with a polyethylene lined cup. The ball attaches to a metallic femoral stem. These heads are compatible with all of Biomet's hip stems with Type I (4 0' ± 0 2') tapers. The metallic stems are manufactured from either titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F-136 or cobalt alloy (Co-Cr-Mo) conforming to either ASTM F-799. This submission covers 22.22 mm diameter heads with -3 and standard neck offsets.
Biomet Zirconia Ceramic Modular Heads are manufactured from Yttria Stabilized Zirconia. Manufacturing of these ceramic devices will be done entirely outside Biomet by Norton Advanced Ceramics. Mechanical testing was conducted with the final taper design in accordance with the FDA's guideline document. Devices were found to conform to all requirements including compression, pull-off and fatigue strength.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Binkley:
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 control provisions of the Act. The general control 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 regulations 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.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
