Device Description
The Triathlon™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Total Knee System consists of three primary components: Triathlon™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Femoral Component, Triathlon™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Tibial Insert, and Triathlon™ Patellar components (available in two styles – symmetric and asymmetric). These components are intended to be used with the previously cleared Triathlon™ Primary Cemented Tibial Tray in primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. The Triathlon™ Patellar components are intended to be used with both the Triathlon™ CR Femoral component, the previously cleared Triathlon™ PS Femoral component, or the femoral components of the Duracon® Total Knee System. Duracon® patellar components may be used with both the Triathlon™ PS and Triathlon™ CR femoral components. The use of a patellar component is optional. The Triathlon™ CR components are described below: The Triathlon" Total Knec Cruciate Retaining (CR) Femoral Component is fabricated from cast cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, and is intended for cemented application to replace the articulating surface of the distal femur. This cruciate retaining femoral component is utilized when total knee replacement is indicated, and accommodates the posterior cruciate ligament if it is present. The Triathlon"" Total Knee Cruciate Retaining (CR) Femoral Component is available in right and left configurations, and eight proportional sizes (sizes 1 to 8) to accommodate differences in patient anatomy. The interior surface of the component is grit-blasted to increase surface roughness - this is intended to promote interdigitation of the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement with the surface texture and the apposing bone. This femoral component features cast-in pegs to help in femoral component placement, and to provide rotational stability. The Triathlon" Cruciate Retaining (CR) Tibial Insert is neutral in configuration, and is available in seven proportional sizes (sizes 2 to 8) and varying thicknesses (9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 16mm, and 19mm). The insert is fabricated from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene and cobalt-chromium alloy. The minimum thickness of the tibial insert on the bearing surface is 6mm. The tibial inscrt is designed to accommodate the posterior cruciate ligament if it is present. There is a relief on the anterior aspect of the tibial insert to accommodate the patellar tendon and patellar fat pad. The Triathlon™ CR Tibial Inscrt incorporates a locking wire feature on the anterior aspect of the insert. This locking wire is fabricated from cobalt-chromium alloy, and engages under tabs on the anterior rim of the Triathlon" " Primary Tibial Baseplate. This wire-tab locking mechanism secures the insert into the baseplate. This insert-baseplate locking mechanism is identical to the locking mechanism utilized on the Triathlon™ PS Total Knee System. Triathlon™ Patellar components are available in two styles: symmetric and asymmetric. Both are fabricated from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. The symmetric design is available in six diameters (27mm, 31mm, 31mm, 36mm, 36mm, and 39mm) and four thicknesses (8mm, 9mm, 10mm, and 11mm). The symmetric design features a central cement recess, and three pegs on the bone interface surface. The Triathlon™ Symmetric patellar component is intended to be implanted via a resurfacing or inset surgical technique. The asymmetric design is available in five superior/inferior dimensions (29mm, 32mm, 35mm, 38mm, and 40mm) and three thicknesses (9mm, 10mm, and 11mm). The asymmetric design features a flare on the latcral aspect of the component. The asymmetric patcllar component also has a central recess with three pegs for cement fixation. The Triathlon™ Asymmetric patellar component is intended to be implanted using a resurfacing surgical technique.

No
The device description focuses on the materials, design, and mechanical features of a total knee replacement system. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device details explain that it is a total knee system intended for use in primary or revision total knee arthroplasty, which is a surgical procedure to alleviate painful and disabling joint disease of the knee, thereby performing a therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: This device is a total knee replacement system, which is a therapeutic device intended to replace damaged knee joint components, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of materials like cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, which are implanted in the knee joint. This indicates a hardware medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing parts of the knee joint in patients with painful or damaged knees. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the knee replacement system (femoral component, tibial insert, patellar components) and how they are used in surgery. This aligns with a medical device intended for implantation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are designed for this purpose.

Therefore, the Triathlon™ CR Total Knee System is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
