Intended Use

Total hip components are indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma, inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis; avascular necrosis; traumatic arthritis; slipped capital epiphysis; fused hip; fracture of the pelvis and diastrophic variant; old, remote osteomyelitis with an extended drainage-free period; non-union; femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. Smith & Nephew Hip System components are designed for single use only.

Device Story

Smith & Nephew Hip System consists of cross-linked UHMWPE acetabular liners and cobalt chrome femoral heads. Liners mate with existing Smith & Nephew Reflection metal acetabular shells; femoral heads mate with Smith & Nephew femoral hip stems. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty. Components replace damaged hip joint surfaces to restore function and alleviate pain caused by degenerative or traumatic conditions. Single-use implants.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises cross-linked UHMWPE acetabular liners and cobalt chrome femoral heads. Designed for use with previously cleared Smith & Nephew Reflection metal acetabular shells and femoral hip stems. Mechanical fixation/interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals undergoing primary or revision hip surgery due to trauma, inflammatory joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fused hip, pelvic fracture, non-union, femoral neck/trochanteric fractures, or deformity).

Regulatory Classification

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.

#### Substantially Equivalent Legally Marketed Devices

Components comprising the Smith & Nephew Hip System are substantially equivalent to Sulzer Inter-Op Durasul Acetabular Liner Inserts and femoral heads that were cleared for market under K993259 and K002575.

#### Device Description

The Smith & Nephew Hip System is comprised of cross-linked UHMWPE acetabular liners and cobalt chrome femoral heads. The acetabular liners are designed to mate to previously cleared Smith & Nephew Reflection metal acetabular shells. The cobalt chrome femoral heads are designed to function with the subject acetabular liners and to mate with Smith & Nephew femoral hip stems identified in this Special 510(k) Premarket Notification. The intended use, type of interface, and design features of the components comprising the Smith & Nephew Hip System are identical to other Smith & Nephew predicate devices identified in this submission.

### Device Intended Use

Total hip components are indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma, inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis; avascular necrosis; traumatic arthritis; slipped capital epiphysis; fused hip; fracture of the pelvis and diastrophic variant; old, remote osteomyelitis with an extended drainage-free period; non-union; femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. Smith & Nephew Hip System components are designed for single use only.

### Technological and Performance Characteristics

The components comprising the Smith & Nephew Hip System are similar to predicate devices manufactured by Smith & Nephew and previously cleared for market. Thus, the intended use, material, and design features of these components are identical to the predicate devices identified in this submission. The safety and effectiveness for the subject devices are adequately supported by test data, material information, and substantial equivalence information provided in this Special 510(k) Premarket Notification Tests results indicate that the subject devices meet the requirements of the applicable guidance documents.

Dear Mr. Henley:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
