## Indications for Use

The VerSys Beaded FullCoat Calcar Hip Prosthesis is designed to achieve biologic fixation to bone and is indicated for: Total hip replacement for the following: severe hip pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, nonunion of previous fractures of the femur, congenital hip dysplasia, protrusio acetabuli, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, disability due to previous fusion, previously failed endoprostheses and/or total hip components in the affected extremity, and acute femoral neck fractures. Hemi-hip replacement for the following: fracture dislocation of the hip, elderly, debilitated patients when a total hip replacement is contraindicated, irreducible fractures in which adequate fixation cannot be obtained, certain high subcapital fractures and comminuted fractures, secondary avascular necrosis of the femoral head, pathological fractures of the femoral neck, and osteoarthritis in which the femoral head is primarily affected.

## Device Story

Modular femoral stem hip prosthesis; designed for biologic fixation to bone. Input: surgical site anatomy. Transformation: mechanical replacement of femoral head/neck. Output: structural support for hip joint. Used in orthopedic surgery; implanted by surgeons. Provides stability and mobility for patients with degenerative or traumatic hip conditions. Modified version of existing system; features calcar region with 10mm and 20mm build-up heights in straight and bowed configurations.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Finite element analysis performed to demonstrate mechanical equivalence to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Modular femoral stem; Co-Cr-Mo alloy construction; sintered Co-Cr-Mo alloy bead porous surface coating for biologic fixation. Features calcar region with 10mm and 20mm build-up heights. Available in straight and bowed stem configurations. Uncemented prosthesis.

## 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.

femur, congenital hip dysplasia, protrusio acetabuli, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, disability due to previous fusion, previously failed endoprostheses and/or total hip components in the affected extremity, and acute femoral neck fractures.

Hemi-hip replacement for the following: fracture dislocation of the hip, elderly, debilitated patients when a total hip replacement is contraindicated, irreducible fractures in which adequate fixation cannot be obtained, certain high subcapital fractures and comminuted fractures, secondary avascular necrosis of the femoral head, pathological fractures of the femoral neck, and osteoarthritis in which the femoral head is primarily affected.

The modifications to the VerSys Beaded FullCoat Comparison to Predicate Device: Bowed Revision Hip Prosthesis do not change either the intended use or the fundamental scientific technology of the device. It is packaged and sterilized utilizing the same materials and processes. The modified device is designed to offer another revision style line extension to the existing system of implants.

Performance Data:

Finite element analysis demonstrated that the device is equivalent to the predicate.

Trade/Device Name: Versys ® Beaded FullCoat Calcar Hip Prosthesis Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3358 Regulation Name: Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis. Regulatory Class: II Product Code: LPH Dated: September 26, 2003

Received: October 6, 2003

Dear Ms. Cain:

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. Iisting 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 does 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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Ms. Karen Cain

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
