• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3360
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

These devices are modular components of a total hip system. These femoral heads are intended for use with femoral stems and acetabular components in primary or revision total hip arthroplasty.

Device Story

Modular femoral heads (V40™ and P.C.A.®) designed for total hip arthroplasty; components mate with femoral stems and acetabular components. Modification involves adding a small chamfer to the base of the femoral head to prevent impingement on Osteonics bipolar components. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons during hip replacement procedures. Device provides articulation surface for hip joint; enables compatibility between Howmedica and Osteonics hip system components. Benefits include expanded surgical options and component interchangeability.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Wrought cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Vitallium®) alloy conforming to ASTM F-1537. Modular design with specific taper angles (5° 40' and 2° 52').

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing primary or revision total hip arthroplasty requiring modular femoral head components for use with femoral stems and acetabular components.

Regulatory Classification

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

• V40™ femoral heads (K993601)
• P.C.A.® femoral heads (K993601)

This Special 510(k) submission is intended to address a design modification to the V40™ and P.C.A.® femoral heads previously manufactured by Howmedica Inc. These femoral heads are available in a range of outer diameter sizes and offsets, and were intended to mate with femoral stems with a 5° 40' taper angle, and 2° 52' taper angle, respectively. These femoral heads were also intended to mate with acefabular components (bipolar and unipolar components, as well as one and two piece acetabular components) manufactured by Howmedica Inc. Since the merger of Howmedica Inc. with Osteonics Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Stryker Corp.), it is desired that these femoral heads should be compatible with acetabular components (bipolar, unipolar, and one and two piece acetabular cups) previously manufactured by Osteonics Corp. In order for this to be accomplished, there must be a design modification made to the femoral heads: a small chamfer must be added to the base of the femoral head to assure that there will not be impingement on the Osteonics bipolar component.

人/天

It is also desired that femoral heads manufactured by Osteonics be compatible with Howmedica acetabular components. No design change is required to allow Osteonics femoral heads to mate with Howmedica acetabular cups, however, a labeling change will be made to address the compatibility of these components.

The modified components, the V40™ and P.C.A.® femoral heads, are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices which were cleared for marketing via the 510k) process. The V40™ and P.C.A.® femoral heads are manufactured from wrought cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Vitallium®) alloy which conforms to ASTM F-1537. The intended use of the subject V40™ and P.C.A.® femoral heads is identical to that of the predicate V40™ and P.C.A.® femoral heads.

Re: K993601 Trade Name: Howmedica Osteonics Femoral Heads Requlatory Class: II Product Codes: JDI, LWJ, and KWY Dated: October 22, 1999 Received: October 25, 1999

Dear Ms. Rieder:

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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

{3}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone].
