You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K250450 - Christopher Lussier Page 2 Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181). Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

VI. Comparison of Indications for Use and technological characteristics The subject hip implants with the coating performed by the new supplier are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The only modification of the previously cleared orthopedic devices is the addition of an alternate supplier to administer the coating process. The devices design, principle of operation, substrate material, dimensional characteristics, indications for use, biocompatibility, packaging, shelf life and sterility will not change as a result of the implementation of an alternate coating supplier. {11} K250450 Page 6 of 6 Coated hip implants Traditional 510(k) – K250450 Medacta International SA ## VI. Performance Data Validation and testing were conducted according to test protocols to provide a detailed characterization of the coating performed by the new supplier and to demonstrate the substantial equivalence between the coatings performed by the new supplier and the ones performed by the current coating supplier, thus the substantial equivalence between the subject devices coated by the new coating supplier and the predicate devices coated by the current coating supplier. The analysis and evaluations on the coating and on the subject coated products, performed according to standard’s requirements, show that they meet the corresponding acceptance criteria and that the devices coated by new coating supplier are validated, they can be considered safe and effective for their intended use and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. ## Non-Clinical Studies - COATING CHARACTERIZATION - Evaluation of the composition of the coating powders and of the coating performed by the new supplier on coupons according to ISO 13179-1, ISO 13779-2 and ISO 13779-3; - Evaluation of the mechanical properties and morphology of the coating performed by the new supplier on coupons according to ASTM F1854, ASTM F1147, ASTM F1609, ASTM F1044, ASTM F1160, ASTM F1978, ISO 21920-3 and ISO 13779-4; - COATED PRODUCT CHARACTERIZATION - Evaluation of the coating characteristics on the coated final products or on coupons coated with the devices’ production batch according to ASTM F1854, ASTM F1609 and ISO 21920-3; - Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the final coated products according to ASTM F3090-20; - CLEANING evaluation according to ISO 19227 - BIOCOMPATIBILITY assessment according to ISO 10993 series - SHELF-LIFE evaluation including subject devices packaging validation according to ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 ## Clinical Studies: - No clinical studies were conducted.
