Intended Use

Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads are indicated for use in total hip replacement with cemented or non-cemented femoral and acetabular components in cases of: 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis and traumatic arthritis. 2. Rheumatoid arthritis. 3. Correction of functional deformity. 4.

Specific indications for compatible components that can be used with the above modular heads include: Salvage/Oncology Hip and Total Femur System components are also indicated for cases of ligament deficiency, tumor resection, trauma and revision of unsuccessful osteotomy or arthrosis. (K974558, K002757, K021380, K033871) Interlocking hip stems are indicated for non-cemented application in cases of revision, trauma, fracture, oncology or other situations where severe proximal bone loss may compromise the fixation and stability of a standard-type hip replacement prosthesis. (K990830, K042774)

Device Story

Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads are modular, one-piece femoral heads for total hip arthroplasty. Device consists of Transition-Toughened-Platelet Alumina (TTPA) ceramic (75% alumina, 24% zirconia, 1% platelet). Highly polished spherical surface articulates with polyethylene acetabular liners; attaches to metallic femoral stems via Biomet Type I taper. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/hospital settings during hip replacement or revision surgery. Modifications include inner taper and distal face geometry changes to improve burst strength and cost-effectiveness. Output is a mechanical bearing surface for hip joint restoration, facilitating patient mobility and pain relief. No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including burst, fatigue, pull-off, and rotational stability tests.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing, including burst testing, fatigue burst testing, post-fatigue burst testing, pull-off testing, and rotational stability testing on CoCrMo tapers.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Transition-Toughened-Platelet Alumina (75% Alumina, 24% Zirconia, 1% Platelet). Design: One-piece modular ceramic head with Biomet Type I taper. Form factor: Spherical head available in multiple sizes/offsets. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring total hip replacement due to non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, non-union, femoral neck/trochanteric fractures, or revision procedures. Compatible with specific salvage/oncology and interlocking hip systems for cases involving ligament deficiency, tumor resection, or severe proximal bone loss.

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.

#### Device Description:

The Biolox® delta component is a traditional, one-piece ceramic head indicated for hip arthroplasty. The material for the device is Transition-Toughened-Platelet Alumina (TTPA) 75% Alumina, 24% Zirconia and 1% Platelet. The highly polished spherical surface articulates with a polyethylene liner acetabular component. The modular head attaches to a metallic femoral stem with a Biomet Type I taper. The ceramic heads are available in three sizes, with several offsets.

#### Summary of Technologies:

The technological characteristics of the proposed device are the same as or similar to the predicates. The Biolox® delto Ceramic Heads are similar in design, dimensions, and intended use as their predicates. They are made of the same material as all their predicates, and indications are similar or the same as all the predicates. There have been no changes to the larger size.

#### Non-Clinical Testing:

New testing to support the argument for substantial equivalence includes the following: Burst testing to assess the worst case and further testing on worst case to include: Fatigue burst test; Post-fatigue burst test; Pull-off test on CoCrMo tapers; and Rotational stability on CoCrMo tapers.

#### Clinical Testing:

None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

Testing demonstrates that the modifications made to the Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads (Monoblock) do not introduce any new risks of safety or efficacy, and that the Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads (Monoblock) are substantially equivalent to the predicates.
