Intended Use
The DePuy ASR™ Resurfacing Femoral Heads are intended for cemented use in hemiarthroplasty (partial hip replacement procedure). Indications are for patients suffering severe pain and disability due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Additional indications include other abnormalities where major pathology affects the femoral head; where the acctabular cavity is normal and not deformed or weakened; and where acetabular replacement is either not required or not desirable.
Device Story
DePuy ASR Resurfacing Femoral Head is a one-piece cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) metal implant; designed for hemi-arthroplasty to replace the articular surface of the femoral head. Device features a polished exterior and internal cavity for bone cement fixation; includes a short stem acting as a central guide pin. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to treat femoral head pathology while preserving the patient's natural acetabulum. Implant replaces bone with a metal cap, allowing for minimal bone removal. Clinical benefit includes pain relief and restoration of function for patients with severe hip conditions where acetabular replacement is not indicated.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material characteristics.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy. Design: One-piece metallic femoral head with internal cavity for bone cement and short stem guide pin. Sizes: 39mm range. Fixation: Cemented. Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with severe pain and disability due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis requiring hemi-arthroplasty. Requires normal, non-deformed acetabular cavity.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic resurfacing prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The DePuy ASR™ Resurfacing Femoral Heads are designed for use in hemi-arthroplasty applications to replace the articular surface of the femoral head. The implants consist of a onepiece cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) metal femoral head with a short stem used as a central guide pin. The implants range in sizes 39mm to suit varying patient anatomy.
The femoral resurfacing heads have a polished exterior surface and an internal cavity designed for use with bone cement for fixation to the patient's prepared femoral head. The implant allows for the ninimal removal of bone from the femoral head, replacing the bone with a metal shell (cap). Articulation occurs between the polished femoral resurfacing implant and the patient's natural acetabulum.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The DePuy ASR™ Resurfacing Femoral Heads are intended for cemented use in hemiarthroplasty (partial hip replacement procedure). Indications are for patients suffering severe pain and disability due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, post-traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Additional indications include other abnormalities where major pathology affects the femoral head; where the acctabular cavity is normal and not deformed or weakened; and where acetabular replacement is either not required or not desirable.

Dear Ms. Heck:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
