The same considerations apply to acetabular revisions. In normal cases, however, the surgeon will use an acetabular implant one size larger and in exceptional cases two sizes larger. ## Device Story PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup is a cementless, metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated acetabular component for total hip arthroplasty. Device features triple-radius profile designed for minimal bone resection and press-fit fixation. Physiological load transfer occurs through peripheral acetabular zone, providing primary stability without screw fixation and promoting osseous integration. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for hip joint replacement or revision. Surgeon selects implant size based on patient anatomy, typically one to two sizes larger than standard in revision cases. Device provides stable acetabular foundation for hip joint reconstruction, aiming to restore joint function and alleviate pain associated with arthrosis or trauma. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of biomechanical laboratory testing comparing the PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup to leading competitive cementless acetabular cups. Results indicated the device was comparable to or exceeded the performance of predicate/competitive devices. ## Technological Characteristics Cementless acetabular cup; metal/polymer/metal construction; porous-coated; triple-radius profile; press-fit design; physiological load transfer mechanism. 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 - RIMFIX Cup (K-Number unknown) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K973077 NOV 1 3 ﺗﺎ ﮨ ## 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information (as required by 807.92c), prepared by Hartmut Loch, President of HHL Consulting for PLUS Orthopedics in San Diego, California August 14, 1997 PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup Trade name: Cementless Total Hip Prosthesis, Acetabular Component Common name: Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi constrained porous Classification name: coated uncemented prosthesis We are claiming substantial equivalency to the cementless RIMFIX Equivalence: Cup, marketed by Surgical Implants, Inc., Sarasota, Florida (K-Number unknown). The PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup is a cementless acetabular cup, Characteristics: which was designed with a triple-radius profile. The advantages are 1) minimal bone resection, 2) press-fit with physiological load transfer through the peripheral zone of the acetabulum, thus ensuring good primary stability without the need for screw fixation and 3) optimal osseous integration due to good primary stability. The PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup is intended for all types of arthrosis, Indications: such as advanced destruction of the hip joint due to degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis, fracture or avascular necrosis of the femoral head, sequelae of previous operations, such as internal fixation, joint reconstruction, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement. The same considerations apply to acetabular revisions. In normal cases, however, the surgeon will use an acetabular implant one size larger and in exceptional cases two sizes larger. Contraindications include acute or chronic infections (local or Contraindications: systemic), serious lesions of muscles, nerves or blood vessels, which put the affected limb at risk, bony defects or poor bone quality, which might endanger the stability of the prosthesis, and any concurrent disease, which might interfere with the function of the implant. Performance data: Biomechanical laboratory tests were performed comparing cups of other leading manufacturers to the PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup. All tests showed that the PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup was comparable to, or exceeded, cementless competitive acetabular cups. {1}------------------------------------------------ Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 NOV 1 3 1997 Mr. Hartmut Loch ·President HHL Consulting Representing Plus Orthopedics 835 Cortez Lane Foster City, California 94404 Re: K973077 PLUS-FIT Acetabular Cup Trade Name: Requlatory Class: II Product Code: LWJ Dated: October 24, 1997 Received: October 27, 1997 Dear Mr. Loch: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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).
