Rheumatoid arthritis Correction of functional deformity 3. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques. ## Device Story RingLoc® Bi-Polar Acetabular Component is a hip hemi-arthroplasty device; consists of a large outer shell with a polyethylene insert; captures a modular femoral head component of a hip stem. Outer shell surface articulates with natural acetabulum; outer diameters range 41mm to 70mm. Insert accepts 22mm or 28mm modular heads; secured by a pre-assembled thin metal ring snapping into an insert groove. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to treat degenerative joint disease or proximal femur fractures. Device restores joint function by providing an articulating surface for the femoral head within the natural acetabulum. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Bench testing of assembly and disassembly forces was conducted. ## Technological Characteristics Metal/polymer cemented or uncemented hip prosthesis. Components include a metal outer shell and polyethylene insert. Features a thin metal ring for insert retention. Sizing ranges from 41mm to 70mm outer diameter; accepts 22mm and 28mm modular heads. Mechanical assembly/disassembly design. ## Regulatory Identification A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). ## Predicate Devices - Biomet Bipolar Prosthesis ([K833175](/device/K833175.md)) - Biomet TriPolar System ([K991990](/device/K991990.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Patricia Sandborn Beres Contact Person: Senior Regulatory Specialist Proprietary Name: RingLoc® Bi-Polar Acetabular Component Common Name: Bi-Polar Acetabular Component Classification Name: Hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metal/polymer cemented or uncemented prosthesis (21 CFR 888.3390) Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed: Biomet Bipolar Prosthesis (K833175), and Biomet TriPolar System (K991990) Device Description: The Bi-Polar device consists of a large outer shell with a polyethylene insert that captures a modular head component of a femoral hip stem. The outer surface of the shell is highly outshed in order to articulate with the natural acetabular bone. Outer diameters of 41mm to 70mm allow politically of a fill the acetabular cavity. Inserts accept two size modular heads, 22mm and 28mm. The insert is held in place by a thin metal ring that is pre-assembled into the shell which snaps into a groove in the insert. ## Intended Use: - Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis 1. - 2. Rheumatoid arthritis - Correction of functional deformity 3. - Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head ধ: involvement, unmanageable using other techniques. Summary of Technologies: The technological characteristics (materials, design, sizing, and indications) of the RingLoc® Bi-Polar Acetabular Components are similar to or identical to the predicate devices. Non-Clinical Testing: Mechanical testing of the assembly and disassembly forces was conducted. Clinical Testing: None provided All trademarks are property of Biomet, Inc. MAILING ADDRESS P.O.
