Intended Use

The CLS, Wagner Revision and AlloClassic Zweymuller femoral stems will be used in conjunction with the Zirconia Ceramic Total Head. This stem/head combination is intended for prosthetic replacement of the proximal portion of the femur during total hip arthroplasty in which the ball head articulates with a polyethylene acetabular component. Specific diagnostic indications include: - Patient conditions of inflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) and noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis); - Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persist; and, - Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty. The CLS Stem, Wagner Revision Stem and AlloClassic Zweymuller Stem are intended for use with or without bone cement.

Device Story

Zirconia Ceramic Total Head designed for articulation with polyethylene acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty. Device consists of spherical zirconia ceramic head with 12/14 taper, compatible with specific Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy femoral stems (CLS, Wagner Revision, AlloClassic Zweymuller). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for proximal femoral replacement. Head provides bearing surface for hip joint; intended to address joint disease or revision needs. Static compression testing confirms burst strength meets requirements.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static compression testing performed to evaluate burst strength of zirconia ceramic heads.

Technological Characteristics

Zirconia ceramic spherical head; 12/14 taper; 28mm and 32mm diameters; short, medium, and long neck lengths. Compatible with Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy femoral stems featuring Sulzer 12/14 (5°38' cone angle) Morse taper trunnions. Non-software device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring total hip arthroplasty due to inflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), failed previous surgery with persistent pain/deformity/dysfunction, or revision of failed hip arthroplasty.

Regulatory Classification

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.

#### SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC INDICATIONS

The CLS, Wagner Revision and AlloClassic Zweymuller femoral stems will be used in conjunction with the Zirconia Ceramic Total Head. This stem/head combination is intended for prosthetic replacement of the proximal portion of the femur during total hip arthroplasty in which the ball head articulates with a polyethylene acetabular component. Specific diagnostic indications include:

- Patient conditions of inflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid . arthritis) and noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis):
- . Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persist; and,
- Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty. ●

The CLS Stem. Wagner Revision Stem and AlloClassic Zwevmuller Stem, are intended for use with or without bone cement.

### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The CLS Stem. Wagner Revision Stem and AlloClassic Zwevmuller Stem are all designed for use with ceramic heads. These stems are manufactured from Ti-6A1-7Nb alloy and have the same proximal taper which is machined per the specifications of the 12/14 Sulzer taper.

The Zirconia Ceramic Total Head is a spherical head with a 12/14 taper, making it compatible with the above stems. The heads are available in 28mm and 32mm diameters and three neck lengths; short, medium and long.

Static compression testing demonstrated that the burst strength of the zirconia heads exceeds FDA requirements.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The CLS Stem, the Wagner Revision Stem, and the AlloClassic Zweymuller Stem when used with the Zirconia Ceramic Total Head are substantially equivalent to the APR and Natural Hip Systems (Sulzer Orthopedics Inc.).

Dear Ms. Parduhn

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 and the following limitation that the package insert must reflect that the Metoxit Zirconia Ceramic Femoral Heads are to be used only with Ti-6Al-7Nb hip stems with the Sulzer 12/14 (5°38' cone angle) Morse taper trunnions.

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.
