All forms of osteoarthritis - . Patients with hips at risk of dislocation - Femoral neck fracture or proximal fracture to hip joint . The POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System is intended for single use only and depending on its version is to be implanted either with or without bone cement. ## Device Story Acetabular component for total hip arthroplasty; dual mobility design features metal shell with polished inner surface and articulating plastic liner. Increases intra-prosthetic stability to reduce dislocation risk. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Subject device expands size range and adds highly crosslinked polyethylene liners to previously cleared system. Provides mechanical hip joint reconstruction; benefits patients requiring revision or at high risk of recurrent dislocation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evaluated via wear testing, coating characterization, range of motion testing, stress analysis, and fatigue properties to confirm ability to withstand in vivo loading. ## Technological Characteristics Metal shell with polished inner surface; highly crosslinked polyethylene liner. Dual mobility articulation. Uncemented or cemented versions. Single-use. Class II device. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - POLARCUP Dual Mobility System ([K070278](/device/K070278.md)) - VERSAFIT Double Mobility System ([K083116](/device/K083116.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

510(k): K083116 | #### Device Description The POLARCUP Dual Mobility System consists of a metal shell and plastic liner (or insert). The inside of the metal shell is polished, and the outside of the plastic liner is able to articulate against this polished surface. This dual mobility design results in higher intra-prosthetic stability to address the treatment of patients with a high risk of dislocation (especially for elderly patients) or patients with Product Code: MEH {1}------------------------------------------------ K110135 (pg. 2 of 2) recurrent dislocation. The subject device is identical to the previously cleared POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System with the exception of an increase in the size range and the addition of Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners. #### Technological Characteristics A review of the mechanical data indicates that the POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System is capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure. #### Intended Use The POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System is indicated for: - Advanced degeneration of the hip joint as a result of degenerative, post-traumatic or . rheumatoid arthritis. - Fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head . - Failure of previous hip surgery: joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, � hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement arthroplasty, or total hip replacement - . All forms of osteoarthritis - . Patients with hips at risk of dislocation - Femoral neck fracture or proximal fracture to hip joint . The POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System is intended for single use only and depending on its version is to be implanted either with or without bone cement. #### Substantial Equivalence Information The overall design, materials, and indications for use for the POLARCUP® Dual Mobility System are substantially equivalent to the commercially available predicate devices identified. Wear Testing, Coating Characterization, Range of Motion Testing, Stress Analysis and Faligue Properties were evaluated for the determination of substantial equivalence. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal for the Department of Health & Human Services.
