K884890 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the LORD L.F.R. TOTAL HIP SYSTEM. Classified as Prosthesis, Hip, Semi-constrained, Metal/polymer, Cemented (product code JDI), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Howmedica Corp. (Rutherford, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 8, 1989 after a review of 381 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3350 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Orthopedic review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
