## Indications for Use

Mpact 3D Metal Foam is intended to be used in cementless hip replacement surgeries in combination with Medacta F-Cage and a Medacta cemented cup (Apricot or Versacem), or in combination with a Medacta cemented cup only. Mpact 3D Metal Foam, Medacta F-Cage and Apricot are indicated for use in the case of acetabular bony defect during total hip arthroplasty. Total hip arthroplasty is indicated in the following cases: - Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthrosis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid polyarthritis, or congenital hip dysplasia. - Avascular necrosis of the femoral head when total hip arthroplasty has been chosen. - Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck when total hip arthroplasty has been chosen. - Failure of previous hip surgery: joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, partial hip arthroplasty, hip resurfacing replacement, or total hip arthroplasty. When the Mpact 3D Metal Foam is used with the Versacem, is also recommended when dislocation prevention is the main driver for the prosthesis choice and the acetabular bone quality is damaged, as in the following cases: - Elderly patients or poor bone quality. - Revision for recurrent dislocation in elderly patients with poor bone quality. - Patients treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Versacem is intended for cemented use only.

## Device Story

Mpact 3D Metal Foam is an acetabular system extension for cementless hip replacement; includes 3D-printed Ti-6Al-4V cups, F-Cage reinforcement, and UHMWPE cemented cups (Apricot/Versacem). Used in OR by orthopedic surgeons for acetabular bony defects and total hip arthroplasty. Components provide structural support and joint reconstruction; F-Cage and Versacem combination specifically addresses dislocation risk in patients with compromised bone quality. Device is single-use and sterile. Clinical benefit derived from restoring joint function and stability in complex revision or primary arthroplasty cases.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were conducted. Evidence is based on non-clinical bench testing, including fatigue testing (ASTM F3090), static tension (ASTM F1147), static/dynamic shear (ASTM F1044, ASTM F1160-14), Taber abrasion (ASTM F1978), ROM evaluation (ISO 21535), and impingement risk analysis. Biocompatibility, pyrogenicity, and shelf-life evaluations were also performed.

## Technological Characteristics

Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup: Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM F2924) via additive manufacturing. F-Cage: Titanium Grade 1 (ASTM F67). Apricot Cup: High Cross UHMWPE. System is cementless (cup) or cemented (liner/cage). Sterile, single-use. No software or electronics.

## Regulatory 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.

Versacem is intended for cemented use only.

#### VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The subject and predicate devices (K050937, K051516, K061226) are substantially equivalent with respect to the following characteristics:

- Design, except for the Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup;
- Fixation;
- Materials, except for the Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup;
- Biocompatibility;
- Device usage; and

{6}

K253630 Page 3 of 4

- Packaging.

The subject devices differ from the predicate devices (K050937, K051516, K061226) with respect to:

- Range of product;
- Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup design; and
- Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup materials.

# Discussion

The subject Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup and Apricot Cup range of sizes, slightly different respect to the one of the predicate devices (K050937, K051516), has been designed to cover a wider population, but it has no impact on safety and effectiveness as demonstrated by fatigue testing.

The different diameters of the subject F-Cage and predicate devices (K061226) do not arise any new issue of safety and effectiveness since both devices cover the same range of product being compatible with the same group of acetabular shells.

The different Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup design and feature for impactor/alignment with respect to the predicate devices (K050937) do not arise any new issue with respect to safety and effectiveness since it is shared with the reference devices (K202568).

The different material of the subject Mpact 3D Metal Foam Cup and the predicate devices (K050937) does not introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness since the subject devices' material and manufacturing process are shared with the reference devices (K221850, K202568).

Finally, subject devices shelf-life and sterilization is shared with Medacta already cleared devices.

The comparison of technological characteristics and performance data provided within the submission supports the substantial equivalence of the subject devices respect to the predicate devices.
