## Intended Use

The U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral Head are indicated in hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia; 2. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis; 3. Correction of function deformity; 4. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and 5. Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.

## Device Story

Modular hip prosthesis system comprising acetabular cup and femoral head; used in total hip arthroplasty. Metallic shell (cast Co-Cr-Mo alloy) features porous-coated surface for bone ingrowth; UHMWPE liner provides bearing surface. Designed for use with United U1 and U2 hip stems. Surgeon implants device in OR to replace damaged hip joint; restores function and relieves pain. Modular design allows for angle adjustment and variable screw locking. Benefits include improved hip function and pain reduction for patients with degenerative joint disease or fractures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biomechanical testing performed on locking mechanism (push-out, lever-out, torque-out tests). Porous coating characterization: tensile strength 27 MPa, shear strength 67 MPa, porosity 30-70%, pore size 100-1000 microns, thickness 500-1500 microns. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic shell: cast Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F75). Liner: extruded UHMWPE (ISO 5834/I). Modular design; hemispherical acetabular cup with porous-coated surface; clustered bone screw holes; 12-angle adjustment options. 28 mm femoral head with variable neck lengths (-3, +0, +5, +10 mm).

## Regulatory 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.

## Device Description:

The U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoal Head are designated as an acetabular component and femoral head and are to be used with United U1 hip stem (K994078) and U2 hip stem (K003237) of total hip replacement. It is a modular type of product system. The U2 Acetabular Cup has ten sizes of options, hemispherical design, porous-coated surface on the metallic shell, clustered bone screw holes, spherical screw holes for variable screw locking angle, PMMA cement plug, easy snap-in and take out mechanism, 12 options for angle adjustment, minimum 6.9 mm thickness of UHMWPE liner. The metallic shell is produced from cast Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F75). The plastic liner is machined from extruded UHMWPE bars (ISO 5834/I). The U2 28 mm femoral head is aimed to providing more choice for orthopaedic surgeon to perform total hip arthroplasty. The taper angle of 28 mm femoral head is identical with U1 26. mm femoral head (K994078). Therefore, U2 28 mm femoral head can be used wath our Ul and U2 hip stems. The U2 28 mm femoral head is available in -3, +0, +5, and +10 mm of neck length.

#### (B) U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral Head

## Intended Use:

The U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral Head are indicated in hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:

- 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia;
- 2. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis;
- 3. Correction of function deformity;
- 4. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and
- 5. Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.

## Basis for Substantial Equivalence:

Features comparable to predicate device, UNITED U1 hip prosthesis, include Co-Cr-Mo alloy substrate, beaded porous coated surface on the acetabular cup and 26 mm femoral head.

### Test Results:

The static tensile and shear strength of the beaded porous coating are 27 MPa and 67 MPa respectively. The porosity of the porous coating ranges from 30 to 70 percent, the pore size ranges from 100 to 1000 microns and the thickness ranges from 500 to 1500 microns.

The range of motion of U2 Acetabular Cup is substantial equivalent to U1 Hip System (K994078).

Three biomechanical tests were performed, including push-out, lever-out and torque-out tests, to evaluate the locking mechanism of modular acetabular component. All test results are compared with U1 Hip System (K994078). The test results demonstrate that the integrity of locking mechanism between UHMWPE liner and metal acetabular shell of U2 Acetabular Cup is substantial equivalent to that of the predicate device.

Based on the previous test results, the U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral head is substantial equivalent to UNITED U1 Hip system.

Dear Dr. Liau:

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. 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 docs not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
