Indications for Use

The R3 Constrained Liner Acetabular System is a cemented or uncemented prosthesis intended to replace a hip joint. The Constrained Liner is intended for primary or revision patients at high risk for hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intra-operative instability and for whom all other options to constrained acetabular components have been considered. The R3 Constrained Liner is intended for single use only.

Device Story

R3 Constrained Liner is a hip joint prosthesis component designed to prevent dislocation. Modified from previous version (K083566) to address intraoperative failure modes by incorporating design changes to inner locking and support ring components. Device provides increased resistance to dislocation under dynamic loading. Available in 22mm and 28mm inner diameters; 52mm to 70mm outer diameters. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for patients at high risk of hip instability. Device acts as a mechanical constraint within the acetabular system to stabilize the hip joint.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing conducted to evaluate attachment loads (push-in, push-out, shuckout) and dislocation resistance. No clinical data required.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: ASTM F75 CoCr, ASTM F90 CoCr, ASTM F1472 Ti-6Al-4V, ASTM F648 UHMWPE. Mechanical constraint system. Dimensions: 22/28mm ID, 52-70mm OD. Single-use, sterile, non-software device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for primary or revision hip replacement patients at high risk for dislocation due to history of prior dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intra-operative instability, where other constrained options have been considered.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A hip joint metal/polymer constrained cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device prevents dislocation in more than one anatomic plane and has components that are linked together. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular component made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene with or without a metal shell, made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and titanium alloys. This generic type of device is intended for use with or without bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Hip Joint Metal/Polymer Constrained Cemented or Uncemented Prosthesis.”

### Device Description

The R3 Constrained Liners were previously cleared for market notification K083566. In August of 2010, Smith & Nephew launched a voluntary recall of the devices due to reports of intraoperative distocations .- The subject devices have been modified to address the intraoperative failure mode. Design features have been incorporated into the inner locking and support ring components of the R3 Constrained Liner construct which increase the device's resistance to dislocation under dynamic loading.

The R3 Constrained Liners are available with inner diameters of 22 and 28mm and outer diameters from 52mm through 66/70mm. The devices are assembled from components that are made of ASTM F75 CoCr, ASTM F90 CoCr, ASTM F1472 Ti-6Al-4V, and ASTM F648 UHMWPE.

## Technological Characteristics

Mechanical testing has been conducted to address the attachment toads (push-in, push-out, shuckout) of the R3 Constrained Liner components as well as to address the new failure mode (dislocation), A review of the results indicates that the R3 Constrained Liners are equivalent to existing, legally marketed predicate devices with regards to mechanical performance and that there are no new issues related to the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. Clinical data was not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices.

#### Intended Use

The R3 Constrained Liner Acetabular System is a cemented or uncemented prosthesis intended to replace a hip joint. The Constrained Liner is intended for primary or revision patients at high risk for hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease, or intra-operative instability and for whom all other options to constrained acetabular components have been considered. The R3 Constrained Liner is intended for single use only.

# Substantial Equivalence Information

The subject devices are identical in function, intended use, indications for use, and material composition, and very similar in overall design to the R3 Constrained Liners cleared via premarket notification K083566. "

## Table 1: Substantially equivalent predicates to the R3 Constrained Liner

| Manufacturer | Description | Submission<br>Number | Clearance Date |
|----------------------|-------------------------------|----------------------|----------------|
| Smith & Nephew, Inc. | R3 Constrained Liner | K083566 | 3/3/2009 |
| Smith & Nephew, Inc. | Reflection Constrained Liners | K021803 | 12/19/2002 |
| Smith & Nephew, Inc. | Reflection Constrained Liners | K033442 | 11/26/2003 |

### Conclusion

As previously noted, this Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification is being submitted to request clearance for the modified R3 Constrained Liners. Based on the similarities to the predicate components and a review of the mechanical testing performed, the devices are substantially equivalent to above predicate constrained hip systems.
