Intended Use
1) Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; 2) rheumatoid arthritis; 3) correction of functional deformity; 4) revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed; 5) treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques.
Device Description
The predicate to the Modular Reach Hip - the Mallory-Head Modular Hip - was previously cleared in K921274. The proximal portion of the predicate has been modified by removing A/P and lateral fins and adding an optional proximal collar. The modified and predicate devices are made of the same material (Ti-6Al-4V), both are porous coated, and intended for noncemented use. The modified device, the Modular Reach Hip, can be used with any Biomet modular distal component. As with the predicate, the proximal body and the distal stem are joined by means of a Morse locking taper. Additional fixation is achieved through a locking screw inserted through the driving platform and engaging with the stem taper. The predicate and the Modular Reach Hip utilize Biomet Type I taper modular heads which are taper-fit on to the stem at the time of surgery.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical hip implant and its modifications compared to a predicate device. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML.

No
The device is an orthopedic implant (Modular Reach Hip) used for conditions like osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and fractures, which restore function but are not considered therapeutic in the sense of delivering therapy.

No

This device is a hip implant, specifically an orthopedic prosthetic for joint replacement and fracture treatment, not a device for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable hip prosthesis made of Ti-6Al-4V, not a software application.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses describe the treatment of various conditions affecting the hip joint and proximal femur through surgical implantation. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a hip implant system designed for surgical implantation to replace or repair parts of the hip joint. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or prosthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3358 Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented 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 has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Sponsor: Biomet. Inc.

Manufacturer: Biomet Manufacturing. Inc. Airport Industrial Park P.O. Box 587 Warsaw, Indiana 46581-0587

Proprietary Name: Modular Reach Hip

Common or Usual Name: Modular metallic total hip system

Classification Name: Prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/polymer, porous uncemented (888.3358)

Device Classification: Class II

Device Product Code: 87LPH

Device Description: The predicate to the Modular Reach Hip - the Mallory-Head Modular Hip - was previously cleared in K921274. The proximal portion of the predicate has been modified by removing A/P and lateral fins and adding an optional proximal collar. The modified and predicate devices are made of the same material (Ti-6Al-4V), both are porous coated, and intended for noncemented use.

The modified device, the Modular Reach Hip, can be used with any Biomet modular distal component. As with the predicate, the proximal body and the distal stem are joined by means of a Morse locking taper. Additional fixation is achieved through a locking screw inserted through the driving platform and engaging with the stem taper.

The predicate and the Modular Reach Hip utilize Biomet Type I taper modular heads which are taper-fit on to the stem at the time of surgery.

Indications For Use: : 1) Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; 2) rheumatoid arthritis; 3) correction of functional deformity; 4) revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed; 5) treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques.

Potential Risks:

    1. Major surgical risks associated with anesthetic including: brain damage, pneumonia, blood clots, heart attach, and death.
    1. Cardiovascular disorders including venous thrombosism pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction.
    1. A sudden drop in blood pressure intraoperatively due to the use of bone cement.

    1. Damage to blood vessels, hematoma, delayed wound healing and/or infection.
    1. Temporary or permanent nerve damage may result in pain and numbness.
    1. Material sensitivity reactions. Implantation of foreign material in tissues can result in histological reactions involving various sizes of macrophages and fibroblasts. The clinical significance of this effect is uncertain, as similar changes may occur as a precursor to or during the healing process. Particulate wear debris and discoloration from metallic and polyethylene components of joint implants may be present in adjacent tissue or fluid. It has been reported that wear debris may initiate cellular response resulting in osteolysis or osteolysis may be a result of loosening of the implant.
    1. Early or late postoperative, infection, and allergic reaction.
    1. Intraoperative bone perforation or fracture may occur, particularly in the presence of poor bone stock caused by osteoporosis, bone defects from previous surgery, bone resorption, or while inserting the device.
    1. Loosening or migration of the implants can occur due to loss of fixation, trauma, malalignment, bone resorption, excessive activity.
    1. Periarticular calcification or osseification, with or without impediment of joint mobility.
    1. Inadequate range of motion due to improper selection or positioning of components.
    1. Undesirable shortening of limb.
    1. Dislocation and subluxation due to inadequate fixation and improper positioning. Muscle and fibrous tissue laxity can also contribute to these conditions.
    1. Fatigue fracture of component can occur as a result of loss of fixation, strenuous activity, malalionment, trauma, non-union, or excessive weight.
    1. Fretting and crevice corrosion can occur at interfaces between components.
    1. Wear and/or deformation of articulating surfaces.
    1. Trochanteric avulsion or non-union as a result of excess muscular tension, early weight bearing or inadequate reattachment.
    1. Problems of the knee or ankle of the affected limb or contralateral limb aggravated by leg length discrepancy, too much femoral medialization or muscle deficiencies.
    1. Postoperative bone fracture and pain.
