## Intended Use

The PERFECTA® Revision Hip System is intended to be used in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients.

## Device Story

Monolithic femoral component for total hip arthroplasty; titanium alloy (ASTM F-136) construction with wire arc spray coating. Available in straight or bowed configurations; features calcar platform and coronal slot (select sizes). Designed for press-fit or cemented fixation. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings to replace diseased or damaged hip joints. Provides structural support for hip function; aids pain relief and mobility restoration.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Fatigue strength testing performed. Coating performance evaluated via weight loss comparison against sintered bead control specimens under comparable load ranges.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Coating: Titanium alloy wire arc spray. Design: Monolithic femoral stem, straight or bowed, with calcar platform and coronal slot. Fixation: Press-fit or cemented. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented 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 component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.

## Predicate Devices

- PERFECTA® Hip System (Orthomet/Wright Medical Technology, Inc.)
- Osteonics® Arc Depositioned Femoral Components

510(k) SUMMARY

Trade/Proprietary Name: PERFECTA® Revision Hip System
Common Name: Wire Spray Coated Femoral Hip Stem
Classification: Class II
Predicate Device: PERFECTA® Hip System by Orthomet, a division of Wright Medical Technology, Inc. and the Osteonics® Arc Depositioned Femoral Components

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92.

## Description/Intended Use

The PERFECTA® Revision Hip System is a monolithic design femoral component. The device is manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F-136) with a titanium alloy wire arc spray coating. The stem is available in two configurations: straight and bowed. All configurations have a calcar platform, from 2.0cm to 3.75cm. All sizes, except for 12mm x 190mm, have a coronal slot. The stem is designed to be press-fit or can be used with bone cement.

The PERFECTA® Revision Hip System is intended to be used in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients.

## Substantial Equivalence

The PERFECTA® Revision Hip System is substantially equivalent to the PERFECTA® Hip System by Orthomet, a division of Wright Medical Technology, Inc. and the Osteonics® Arc Depositioned Femoral Components

## Testing

The PERFECTA® Revision Hip System demonstrates acceptable fatigue strength. In addition the titanium wire arc spray coating demonstrates less weight loss as compared to the sintered bead control specimen through a comparable range of loads.
