The H-Max S Stems are intended for use with Co-Cr-Mo femoral heads and Limacorporate standard and protruded cemented cups. The standard and protruded cemented cups are intended for cemented use only. Hip arthroplasty is intended for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: - non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis and hip dysplasia; - rheumatoid arthritis; - treatment of femoral head and neck fractures; - revisions in cases of good remaining femoral bone stock. ## Device Story H-MAX S femoral hip system is a monolithic, cementless femoral stem used in total hip arthroplasty. Device is implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/hospital setting. Stem features macro-roughened surface with hydroxyapatite coating to facilitate press-fit fixation. System includes femoral stem, CoCrMo femoral heads, and Limacorporate cemented acetabular cups. Device restores hip function and reduces pain in patients with degenerative joint disease, fractures, or rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical benefit derived from mechanical stabilization of the hip joint. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing, including fatigue testing of femoral stem and neck, pull-off testing of taper connection, and range-of-motion simulation. Hydroxyapatite coating characterized per FDA guidance. ## Technological Characteristics Monolithic cementless femoral stem made of Ti6Al4V (ISO 5832-3, ASTM F1472). Features macro-roughened surface with hydroxyapatite coating. 12/14 neck-head taper. Available in 11 sizes and two configurations (standard and lateralizing). ## Regulatory Identification A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement. ## Predicate Devices - Corail AMT Femoral stem ([K042992](/device/K042992.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The H-Max S Stems are intended for use with CoCrMo femoral heads and Limacorporate Cemented cups. The H-MAX S femoral stem is a monolithic cementless stem made from Ti6Al4V (ISO 5832-3, ASTM F1472). The external surface has a macro-roughened surface. A layer of hydroxyapatite is applied along the length of the stem. The H-MAX S stem is manufactured in 11 sizes for each of two configurations (standard and lateralizing) that vary in the CCD angle. #### Intended Use: The H-Max S stems are indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty and are intended for press-fit (uncemented) use. The H-Max S Stems are intended for use with Co-Cr-Mo femoral heads and Limacorporate standard and protruded cemented cups. The standard and protruded cemented cups are intended for cemented use only. Hip arthroplasty is intended for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: - · non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis and hip dysplasia; - · rheumatoid arthritis; - · treatment of femoral head and neck fractures; - · revisions in cases of good remaining femoral bone stock. Traditional 510(k) - H-MAX S femoral hip system {1}------------------------------------------------ K112091 Page 2 of 2 ## Predicate Devices: Corail AMT Femoral stem (Depuy, K042992) Comparable Features to Predicate Device(s): the H-MAX S femoral hip system is similar to the predicate devices in terms of intended use, indications, design and materials. The H-Max S stem and the Corail AMT stem are both indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty for press-fit (uncemented) use. Like the Corail AMT hip prosthesis, the H-MAX S femoral stem is a monolithic stem with a wide medial curvature and an A-P profile characterized by the "V" shape in the proximal part. Both prostheses are characterized by a 12/14 neck-head taper and the surface has a layer of Hydroxyapatite. The components of the H-MAX S femoral hip system are manufactured from the same materials as the predicate devices. Non-Clinical Testing: The H-MAX S femoral hip system has undergone fatigue testing to demonstrate the strength of the femoral stem and the femoral neck. Pull-off testing to demonstrate the strength of the taper connection between the femoral stem and the modular CoCrMo heads has also been completed. A simulation of the Range of Motion has been performed to ensure the device design does not overly limit range of motion. All mechanical testing was done on worst case components or constructs. Where possible, standard test methods were used to allow comparison to testing of the predicate devices. The testing results demonstrated the system's ability to perform under expected clinical conditions. The Hydroxyapatite coating has been characterized according to the FDA guidance documents. Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the H-MAX S femoral hip system to the predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
