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.

#### Product Description
The MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads are ceramic ball heads intended for mechanical fixation to a mating hip stem and indicated for the treatment of patients who are candidates for total or partial hip arthroplasty to provide increased patient mobility and reduced pain by replacing the damaged hip joint, in primary or revision surgery. The MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads are an aluminum oxide matrix composite ceramic consisting of approximately 75% alumina (Al₂O₃), 24% zirconia (ZrO₂) and other trace elements. The pink color is due to the chromium oxide (Cr2O3) that improves the hardness of the composite material. The MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads are designed to mate with a 12/14 stem taper. The MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads are available in head diameters of 28, 32, 36, 40, and 44 mm and in neck lengths of Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large.

Biolox Delta Heads have the same neck lengths (S, M, L) as all of the predicate devices and also have the same XL neck length as the Zimmer Biolox Delta Heads.
#### Performance Testing
The MectaCer Biolox Delta and Forte Heads were tested as part of design verification to written protocols with pre-defined acceptance criteria. The protocols and pre-defined acceptance criteria were based on standards and FDA guidance. The testing was conducted on the worst case size MectaCer Biolox Delta and Forte Heads. The test on the Ti6Al7NB (ISO 5832-11) taper covers compatibility with Medacta's Quadra S (K072857), Quadra H (K082792), Quadra R (K082792), Quadra S-H/SN (K093944), and AMIStem H (K093944) femoral stems. The test on the High Nitrogen Stainless Steel (ISO 5832-9) taper covers compatibility with Medacta's Quadra C (K083558), Quadra C SN (K103189), and AMIStem C (K103189) femoral stems. The testing met all acceptance criteria and verifies that the performance of the MectaCer Biolox Delta Femoral Heads would be adequate for anticipated in vivo loading and that the MectaCer Biolox Forte Heads remain worst-case in comparison to the MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads.
The Burst Test was a compression test made under smooth load with a constant rate of 2mm/min according to ISO 7206-10 (ISO 7206-10: Implants for surgery – Partial and total hip joint prostheses – Part 10: Determination of resistance to static load of femoral heads). The ball is placed on a conical bearing simulating the stem. The modular connection between the ball and the stem of a hip prosthesis is loaded until failure.
The Fatigue Test was made according to CeramTec test procedure AA 02 10 0807. The ball is placed on a conical bearing simulating the stem. The modular connection between the ball and the stem of a hip prosthesis is loaded with a sinusoidal axial force at 10 million cycles.
The Post-Fatigue Test was a compression test made under smooth load with a constant rate of 2mm/min according to ISO 7206-10 (ISO 7206-10: Implants for surgerv - Partial and total hip joint prostheses - Part 10: Determination of resistance to static load of femoral heads). The modular connection between the ball and the stem of a hip prosthesis is loaded until failure after the fatigue test.
The Rotational Stability Test or "torsion test" followed the test description according to the Ceramtec procedure VP-KU-0180. A modular fitting between ball and stem is subjected to frictional torsion until movement occurs.
The Pull-Off Test was made in compliance with the test description of the CeramTec procedure VP-KU-0210, but with 5 samples according to the FDA recommendations. This test corresponds to ISO 7206-10. The femoral head is pressed onto a taper using an axial force of 2 kN and pulled off axially using a loading rate of 1mm/min.
{3}------------------------------------------------
A review of the mechanical data indicates that the MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads are equivalent to devices currently cleared for use and are capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
### Conclusion:
Based on the above information, the MectaCer Biolox Delta Heads can be considered as substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
