Indications for Use
Total and Hemi Hip Arthroplasty
Device Story
EMPHASYS Femoral Stems are orthopedic implants used in total or hemi-hip arthroplasty. The device consists of HA-coated femoral stems available in standard/high offsets and collared/collarless configurations. It is designed for use with modular femoral heads (metal, dual mobility, or ceramic) and acetabular components (total hip) or modular unipolar/bipolar heads (hemi-hip). The device is implanted by a surgeon in a clinical setting to replace damaged or diseased hip joint components. By providing a stable, biocompatible femoral component, the device restores joint function, reduces pain, and improves mobility for patients suffering from degenerative or traumatic hip conditions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were conducted. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, including neck and distal stem fatigue (ISO 7206), range of motion (ISO 21535), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), and MRI safety (ASTM F2503).
Technological Characteristics
Forged titanium alloy femoral stems with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating. Features include standard/high offsets, collared/collarless configurations, and 130° neck angle. Modular design compatible with various femoral heads and acetabular components. Testing standards: ISO 7206-6 (neck fatigue), ISO 7206-4 (distal stem fatigue), ISO 21535 (range of motion), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ANSI/AAMI ST 72 (endotoxin), and ASTM F2503/F2213/F2119/F2182 (MRI safety).
Indications for Use
Indicated for total hip replacement in patients with severely painful/disabled joints due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head/neck, failed previous hip surgery (reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement, or total hip replacement), or ankylosis. Indicated for partial hip replacement in patients with acute fracture of the femoral head/neck or fracture dislocation of the hip that cannot be reduced/treated with internal fixation, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, non-union of femoral neck fractures, high subcapital/femoral neck fractures in the elderly, degenerative arthritis of the femoral head only, or pathology of the femoral head/neck/proximal femur treatable by hemiarthroplasty.
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.

## SUMMARY OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The subject EMPHASYS Femoral Stems are similar to the predicate CORALL AMT Hip Prosthesis (K042992, K123960, K190344) in intended use, indications for use, design. The subject and predicate systems are intended for total or hemi hip arthroplasy and have the same indications for use. Both are forged titanium alloy. HA coated stems for uncemented use with a taper. Both devices have the same size tapers, and both are offered in collaress, standard offset and high offset configurations. Both devices are used in a modular hip construct which includes DePuy femoral head and acetabular components. The design of the subject and predicate devices is similar in terms of shape and function the intraosseous geometry of the subject devices has a narrower ML profile in places and is shorter than the predicate stems. The subject devices are offered in a 130° neck angle that is in between the two angles offered by the predicate devices.
#### PERFORMANCE DATA
## SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTS CONDUCTED FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Testing and engineering analyses were performed on the EMPHASYS Femoral Stems to demonstrate substantial equivalence of safety and efficacy with the predicate device, addressing:
- Neck Fatigue (to ISO 7206-6: 2013) .
- Distal Stem Fatigue (to ISO 7206-4: 2010) .
- Range of Motion (to BS EN ISO 21535: 2009) .
- Taper equivalence
Biocompatibility evaluation was carried out to ISO 10993-1:2018 and testing was carried out to include genotoxicity to ISO 10993-3:2014, cytotoxicity to ISO 10993-5:2009, sensitization to ISO 10993-10:2010, pyrogenicity to ISO 10993-11:2017 and chemical characterization to ISO 10993-18:2020.
The proposed devices also meet the requirement of bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in ANSI/AAMI ST 72:2019.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging safety evaluation testing was performed following ASTM F2503-13, and the tests evaluated the worst-case components and constructs for magnetically induced force (ASTM F2213-17), image artefact (ASTM 2119-07 (reapproved 2013)) and RF heating (ASTM F2182-19). The testing concluded that there are no safety issues related to magnetic field interactions under specific conditions identified in the labelling.
Hydroxyapatie characterization data, as recommended in the FDA Guidance 510(k) Information needed for Hydrosyapatite coated Orthopedic Implants, is provided.
## SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTS CONDUCTED FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE AND/OR OF CLINICAL INFORMATION
No clinical tests were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
### CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL DATA
The subject EMPHASYS Femoral Stems are substantially equivalent to the predicate CORAIL AMT Hip Prosthesis.
