Intended Use
The Natural-Knee II Cemented Modular Tibial Baseplate is intended for cemented use only in total knee arthroplasty for treatment of the following conditions: 1. Patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Correctable valgus-varus deformity and moderate flexion contracture. 3. Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists.
Device Description
The Natural-Knee II Cemented Tibial Baseplate is an asymmetrically oriented (e.g. both left and right orientations), nonporous component manufactured from cast CoCr alloy (ASTM F75). The baseplate is designed to mate with all previously cleared tibial insert components of the Natural-Knee/Natural-Knee II System via capture features on the anterior rim and posterior plateau rims. As such, the baseplate incorporates the snap lock design from the previously cleared Natural-Knee II tibial baseplates. A slot has also been incorporated into the center of the base of the tray to allow for seating of the metal reinforcement pin of the previously cleared Natural-Knee II Constrained/Revision tibial inserts. The cruciform stem portion of the baseplate is designed to accept one of the previously cleared stems used with the Natural-Knee II System (smooth straight, fluted straight, fluted offset). The baseplate stem boss incorporates the stem connection design of the previously cleared Natural-Knee II Revision Femoral Component. This connection design includes an inner female taper for primary attachment of the stem. Supplemental secondary stem fixation may be achieved by placing the stem attachment screw through the recessed hole in the baseplate and into the screw hole in the stem. The rounded, baseplate stem hole plug designed for use with this component may also be used if a stem is not desired. Unlike the stems, the plug does not possess a taper and is attached to the baseplate solely via the stem attachment screw previously described. The inferior surface of the baseplate has cement pockets that are grit blasted to enhance cement fixation. The three fins of the stem boss aid in maintaining rotational stability.

No
The device description focuses solely on the mechanical design and materials of a knee implant component. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes

The device is a knee implant designed for total knee arthroplasty to treat various joint diseases and deformities, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No.

This device is a component of a total knee arthroplasty system, specifically a tibial baseplate, used for surgical implantation to treat joint conditions. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implantable component made of cast CoCr alloy, which is a hardware device, not software.

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 the Natural-Knee II Cemented Modular Tibial Baseplate is a component used in total knee arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery). It is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed within the knee joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of conditions affecting the knee joint through surgical intervention, not for testing samples outside the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or prosthetic device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Mitchell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does no: 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
