Intended Use
The proposed device system is an orthopaedic joint intended to replace the damaged or diseased natural hip joint in total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty to provide pain relief and restore function. The hip system is modular in design, consisting of the subject monolithic, femoral stem along with previously cleared, legally marketed compatible Biomet modular heads and/or acetabular components for total hip or hemi hip arthroplasty.
Device Story
The Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip System is a modular, monolithic femoral stem implant used in total or hemi-hip arthroplasty. It replaces damaged or diseased natural hip joints to provide pain relief and restore function. The device is intended for uncemented, biological fixation. It is used by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting. The system integrates with previously cleared Biomet modular heads and acetabular components. The device features a shortened stem length and rounded lateral shoulder compared to standard designs. It is manufactured using identical processes and materials as predicate devices. Clinical benefit is derived from the restoration of joint function and pain relief in patients with degenerative joint disease, arthritis, or fractures. No software or algorithms are involved.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was conducted. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, including range of motion, femoral stem proximal fatigue, femoral stem distal fatigue, and biocompatibility testing for implant-specific instruments.
Technological Characteristics
Monolithic femoral stem; porous plasma spray coating for uncemented biological fixation. Materials and manufacturing processes are identical to predicates (K070274, K090757). Implant-specific instruments are stainless steel with AlTiN or TiN PVD coatings. Modular design for use with existing Biomet heads/acetabular components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, or proximal femur fractures (non-union, femoral neck, trochanteric) requiring head involvement, and revision of failed total hip arthroplasty. Porous coated components are for uncemented, biological fixation.
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.

The technological characteristics of the Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip System are the same as those of predicate devices (K070274, K110400 and K050251) in terms of design, material, and principle of operation with the exception of slight modifications as described in this 510(k). Differences include a shortened stem and rounded lateral shoulder when compared to the K070274 primary predicate.
The Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty Hip Stems are proximally fitting, porous coated shortened stems for uncemented, biological fixation. Stem lengths are within the range of legally marketed short stems also cleared for biological fixation. The subject femoral stem utilizes the identical manufacturing processes as the predicates. The subject stem substrate and plasma spray coating are identical to that of K070274 and K090757. The previously cleared, porous plasma spray characterization data on identical substrate was provided in K090757 and used in support of subject 510(k). The subject non-clinical testing was conducted to demonstrate that the differences did not adversely affect safety and efficacy, and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate components. All testing met or exceeded the established acceptance criteria. This information is detailed below in the Performance (Non-clinical) section. Additionally, Biocompatibility information was provided in support of the implant specific instrument material.

Clinical Performance Data/Information: N/A
## CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL DATA
No clinical testing was necessary for a determination of substantial equivalence.
The results of mechanical testing indicated the devices performed within the intended use, did not raise any new safety and efficacy issues and were found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
