More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for hip replacement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is an acetabular cup for total hip arthroplasty, which is a medical procedure to treat severe degeneration, trauma, or pathology of the hip joint. This procedure aims to restore function and alleviate symptoms, thus serving a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an acetabular cup designed for hip arthroplasty, which is a treatment or replacement procedure, not a diagnostic one. Its description focuses on surgical use and physical testing, with no mention of detecting or analyzing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical implant (Acetabular Cup) and associated hardware (screws, dome hole plug). The performance studies also focus on mechanical testing of the physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "cemented, cementless or hybrid total hip arthroplasty," which is a surgical procedure involving the hip joint. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (an acetabular cup) and associated components (screws, plug) designed to be surgically implanted. This is not consistent with the nature of an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is intended for the "hip joint," an internal anatomical site. IVDs work with samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
    • Using reagents or analytical instruments for testing.

This device is a surgical implant used in orthopedic surgery.

§ 888.3350 Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Schalago:

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 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 Ouality 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.
