## Intended Use

The Bencox Hip System is intended for cementless use in total or partial hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery for the following conditions: a. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis b. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis c. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture and trochantric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques d. Patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists e. Revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasty

## Device Story

Bencox II Stem and Bencox Metal Head are hip prosthesis components for cementless total or partial hip arthroplasty. Modification includes proximal neck region geometry change for the stem and addition of an extra-large (XL) neck length for the metal head. Components are implanted by orthopedic surgeons during hip replacement surgery to restore joint function and alleviate pain. Device functions as a mechanical replacement for the femoral component of the hip joint. Performance validated via fatigue strength and range of motion testing per ISO 7206-4, ISO 7206-6, and ISO 21535. Sterilized via radiation (ISO 11137-1 & 2) with 5-year shelf life.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Fatigue strength and range of motion testing performed per ISO 7206-4, ISO 7206-6, and ISO 21535. Results demonstrate performance similar to or better than predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Ti-6Al-4V alloy (ASTM F136) and Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F1537). Components: Hip prosthesis stem and metal head. Sterilization: Radiation (ISO 11137-1 & 2). Shelf life: 5 years. Connectivity: None (mechanical implant).

## 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.

Bencox II Stem & Bencox Metal Head

## INTENDED USE

The Bencox Hip System is intended for cementless use in total or partial hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery for the following conditions:

a. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis

b. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis

c. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture and trochantric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques d. Patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists e. Revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasty

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Bencox II Stem cleared under K103431 is modified at the proximal neck region. The other aspects of design / material / specification / manufacturing & sterilization / packaging are not altered and remain the same as discussed in K103431. The component is manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy conforming to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401); Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforming to ASTM F1537 Standard Specification for Wrought Cobalt-28-Chromium-6-Molybdenum Alloys for Surgical Implants.

Bencox Metal Head is cleared under K103431 & K112019 with the neck lengths of small, medium and large. This submission includes extra large (XL) neck length as an inclusion to the existing specification. The other aspects of design / material / specification / manufacturing & sterilization/packaging are not altered and remain the same as discussed in K103431 & K112019. The component is manufactured from Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforming to ASTM F1537 Standard Specification for Wrought Cobalt-28-Chromium-6-Molybdenum Alloys for Surgical Implants.

## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The Bencox II Stem & Bencox Metal Head are substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following predicate devices, each of which has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent, as below,

- . Corentec Co., Ltd., Coren Total Hip System (now renamed as Bencox Total Hip System) cleared under K103431
- Corentec Co., Ltd., Bencox Bipolar Cup System cleared under K112019 .

{2}------------------------------------------------

Bencox II Stem & Bencox Metal Head

## PERFORMANCE DATA

The Bencox II Stem neck change & Bencox Metal Head components were subjected to a series of testing protocols to document the performance of the components and to demonstrate substantial equivalence for fatigue strength and range of motion and the included methods are described in the standards, ISO 7206-4, ISO 7206-6 & ISO 21535.

The Bencox Metal Head-XL was also tested with Bencox ID Stem (machined) & Bencox ID Stem (forged). Bencox 11 Stem neck change & Bencox Metal Head-XL components performed either similar or better than the predicate devices cleared under K103431 & K112019.

## STERILIZATION & PACKAGING

Sterilization validation as per ISO 11137 - 1 & 2 Sterilization of health care products - Radiation ensures sterility of the components for an SAL of 106. Both Bencox Il Stem & Bencox Metal Head and the predicate devices cleared under K103431 & K112019 have same shelf life. Following sterilization, packaging was subjected to sterile barrier testing to validate a shelf life of 5 years for both components.

Any differences in technological characteristic between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy. Overall, the Bencox II Stem neck change & Bencox Metal Head-XL has similarities to the predicate devices with the same intended use, same fundamental scientific technology, same operating principles, same materials and are supplied Sterile.
