Intended Use
EMPOWR Dual Mobility (Metal Liner and Poly Bearing) is indicated as part of a total hip replacement for patients suffering from pain and dysfunction due to: - Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis - Rheumatoid arthritis - Correction of functional deformity - Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques - Revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasty - Dislocation risks - To be used for uncemented applications
Device Story
Modular dual mobility hip implant system; consists of CoCr metal liner and Vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked UHMWPE poly bearing. Device provides two articulating surfaces: poly bearing inside metal liner and inner head (ceramic or CoCr) inside poly bearing. Enhances stability and range of motion (ROM) via larger femoral head compared to single articulation liners. Used in total hip arthroplasty; implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Benefits include reduced dislocation risk and improved joint stability. System is compatible with previously cleared acetabular cups.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including wear testing, metal liner and head disassembly, metal liner corrosion, impingement testing, and range of motion analysis.
Technological Characteristics
Modular dual mobility acetabular bearing system. Materials: CoCr alloy (metal liner), Vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked UHMWPE (poly bearing). Articulation: Dual-bearing surface. Sizes: 38-58mm nominal OD. Uncemented application. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total hip replacement due to noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, proximal femur fractures (non-union, femoral neck, trochanteric), or revision of failed arthroplasty. Indicated for patients at risk of dislocation. For uncemented applications.
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 Teffany 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you. however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

## Description:
EMPOWR Dual Mobility (Metal Liner and Poly Bearing) introduces a modular dual mobility bearing to the current acetabular system. The benefit of the new system is enhanced stability due to a larger femoral head with more ROM for a given cup size than the previously cleared single articulation liners. Bearings are offered in nominal OD sizes of 38-58mm compatible with previously cleared cups.
The subject bearing includes a Metal Liner made of CoCr alloy that locks to the cup with a modular taper junction and a Poly Bearing (Head) made from highly crossed linked UHMWPE infused with Vitamin E that captures an Inner Head made of ceramic or CoCr. The bearing provides two articulating surfaces. The Poly Bearing component articulates inside the Metal Liner and the permanently captured Inner Head articulates inside the Poly Bearing. The two articulations can occur independently or simultaneously.
## Indications for Use:
EMPOWR Dual Mobility (Metal Liner and Poly Bearing) is indicated as part of a total hip replacement for patients suffering from pain and dysfunction due to:
- Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular ● necrosis
