Intended Use
Joint replacement is indicated for patients suffering from disability due to: - noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis of the natural femoral head; - rheumatoid arthritis; - correction of functional deformity; - femoral fracture. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts.
Device Story
Foundation Porous Coated (FMP) Acetabular Shells are orthopedic implants used in hip joint replacement surgery. The device consists of metal acetabular shells (spiked, hemispherical, or flared) featuring a porous coating to facilitate bone ingrowth. The modification described in this submission introduces an additional method of applying this porous coating to the existing device line. The shells are implanted by orthopedic surgeons during hip arthroplasty procedures to replace damaged or diseased joint surfaces. By providing a stable, porous-coated interface, the device promotes fixation to the patient's bone, aiming to restore joint function, correct deformities, and alleviate pain associated with degenerative joint disease, arthritis, or fractures. The device is intended for use in clinical settings by qualified surgeons.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and indication similarities to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Acetabular shells (spiked, hemispherical, flared) for hip arthroplasty. Metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis. Features porous coating for bone ingrowth. Class II device (21 CFR 888.3358).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with disability due to noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, or femoral fracture. Also indicated for salvage of failed surgical attempts.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Ms. Hutto:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.
