Technological Characteristics

Materials: Alumina matrix composite (ceramic heads), CoCrMo (metal heads), Titanium (adapters). Modular design with varying diameters (28, 32, 36 mm) and neck lengths. Fixation: Cemented or uncemented (press-fit). Surface treatments: Plasmapore, u-CaP. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring total hip replacement due to rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis, femoral head nonunion, congenital hip dysplasia, protrusion acetabuli, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, previous fusion, or acute femoral neck fractures.

Regulatory Classification

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.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Aesculap Implant Systems, Inc. believes that the BIOLOX® OPTION Ceramic Femoral Head System and Metha XL Heads is a line extension of Aesculap Implant Systems Excia (K042344, K060918, and K062684) and Metha (K071916, K080584, and K082146) Hip Systems and Aescular Implant Systems, Inc. BIOLOX delta Ceramic Femoral Head (K082991). It is also substantially equivalent to the Zimmer BIOLOX® OPTION Ceramic Femoral Head System (K071535).

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Aesculap Implant Systems BIOLOX® OPTION Ceramic Femoral Head System consist of a ceramic head manufactured from an alumina matrix composite available in diameters of 28, 32, and 36 mm and a titanium adapter for the femoral stem cone with a range of neck lengths. The BIOLOX® OPTION Ceramic head provides the surgeon another option to both the metal and alumina ceramic femoral heads for use in total hip arthroplasty.

Two Metha® XL Heads are available. The CoCrMo head is offered in two diameters (28mm and 32mm). The BIOLOX® delta ceramic head is composed of an alumina matrix composite and is available in two diameters (32mm and 36mm).
