Intended Use
The Expandable Knee offers a treatment option for patients requiring distal femoral replacement who have not yet achieved full skeletal maturity (open epiphysis) or patients who require surgery who have significant residual leg length discrepancy. Indication for use of this device is most commonly tumor resection but could also involve osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; correction of deformity; and correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis or previous joint replacement. The devices are single use implants intended for implantation with bone cement.
Device Description
The Expandable Knee is an additional component to Biomet's Oncology Salvage System that gives the surgeon the ability to expand the prosthesis as a patient grows. All expansion takes place where the natural bone has been removed. The device does not "lengthen" existing bones. The devices are available in two styles or expansion mechanisms: a clip-style and a screw-style. The clip-style is available as either a one-piece unit with an integrated distal femoral surface or as a diaphyseal segment for use with the distal femoral replacement component of Biomet's Oncology Salvage System constrained knee system. Clip-style devices are available in 7 initial replacement lengths of 13cm to 19cm providing an additional expansion from 3cm to 9cm. The screw-style expandable segment relies on movement of a screw for expansion. The device has an integrated distal femoral component. The screw-style Expandable Knee is available in 11 sizes providing a maximum expansion from 3cm to 13cm. A series of intramedullary stems form 9mm to 19mm in diameter are available for cemented fixation of the remaining femoral bone. In addition to a set number of sizes, Biomet will offer customized components designed to more closely match patient anatomy. These components will be designed within a predefined envelope. All types of expandable components are intended for use with components of Biomet's Oncology Salvage System.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and expansion mechanisms, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not algorithmic performance evaluations.

Yes
The device is described as a "treatment option" and is indicated for conditions like tumor resection, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, clearly demonstrating its role in treating medical conditions.

No

The device is an implantable prosthesis designed to replace the distal femur and allow for growth/expansion, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable medical device made of hardware components (expandable segments, stems, etc.) intended for surgical implantation.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is an implant intended for surgical implantation within the body to replace a portion of the distal femur.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical treatment of patients requiring distal femoral replacement due to various conditions. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, the Expandable Knee is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing: Mechanical analysis of both the screw-type and clip-type Expandable Knee has been conducted. Analysis showed that the strength of the expandable devices exceeds that of the clinically success predicate Finn® Knee device. Fatigue testing of the screw-type (worst-case) device has been conducted. This testing showed that the screw mechanism could successfully withstand anatomic loading conditions at maxim expansion. The testing also demonstrated that the expansion mechanism remained functional after fatigue.

Clinical Testing: None provided

§ 888.3510 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
