## Intended Use

The Metagen All Poly Acetabular Cup consists of single use devices, intended for cemented replacement of the acetabular portion of the hip joint in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.

## Device Story

Acetabular component for total hip arthroplasty; single-use; cemented fixation. Device replaces acetabular portion of hip joint. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides stable bearing surface for femoral head. Benefits include restoration of hip joint function and mobility.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material similarity to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Acetabular component for total hip arthroplasty; medical grade biocompatible materials; cemented fixation; single-use.

## 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

- Orthomet All-Poly Acetabular Cup (Orthomet)
- Charnley/Elite Plus All Poly Cups (DePuy)
- StelKast All Poly Cup (StelKast)
