The outer surface of the cup has a porous coating with the addition of a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating. There are no separate liner components to this system, as the liners are integral to the one-piece acetabular cups.; ; Two cup configurations will be offered: a "spiked" cup with three fixation spikes on the outer surface of the cup for adjunct fixation, and an acetabular cup with no spikes.

The uni femoral heads have an internal taper which mates with a taper sleeve adapter specific to DePuy 12/14 or 11/13 tapers. The femoral heads articulate with corresponding one-piece metal acetabular cups. ; ; The subject heads use taper sleeve adapters to mate the DePuy femoral heads to DePuy femoral stems and are manufactured from cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy.; ; Prescription Use, Sterile; The device is part of a modular system for use in total hip replacement in which the acetabular component articulates with a femoral component. The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Cup System is compatible with DePuy ASRT femoral components. The device is indicated for use in the following conditions, where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components: 1. A severely painful and/or disabled joint from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or congenital hip dysplasia. 2. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head. 3. Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head and neck. 4. Failed previous hip surgery, including internal fixation, arthrodesis and hemiarthroplasty. 5. Certain cases of ankylosis. Porous-coated DePuy ASR MXL Acetabular Cups are indicated for cementless application.

Follow up for all patients implanted with ASR acetabular cups at least annually for five years postoperatively. Beyond five years, follow up in accordance with locally agreed protocols. For patients who are symptomatic or implanted with a cup angle greater than 45 degrees, particulary where a small component has been implanted.: " Consider measuring cobalt and chromium ion levels in whle blood and/or performing cross sectional imaging including MRI or ultrasound scans. " If metal ion levels in whole blood are elevated above 7 parts per billion (ppb) for either metal ion, a second test should be performed three months after the first in order to identify patients who require closer surveillance, which may include cross sectional imaging " If MRI or ultrasound scan reveals soft tissue reactions, fluid collections or tissue masses, then revision surgery should be considered. DePuy representatives were to assist with returns of any remaining inventory. For questions regarding this recall call 574-372-7333.
