Intended Use
The Triathlon® Total Knee System is intended for use in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty to alleviate pain and restore function. The Triathlon® Total Knee System is intended for cementless use only. Indications: - Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: noninflammatory . degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis) or rheumatoid arthritis. - Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function. . - Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures . can be returned to adequate function and stability. - Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other procedure. ● - Fracture of the distal femur and/or proximal tibia that cannot be stabilized by . standard fracture management techniques. Additional Indications for Posterior Stabilized Components: - Ligamentous instability requiring implant bearing surface geometries with . increased constraint. - Absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament. . The Triathlon® Total Knee System beaded and beaded with Peri-apatite components are intended for uncemented use only.
Device Description
The Triathlon® Total Knee System will be available with femoral and tibial components in a cementless design with and without Stryker Howmedica Osteonics' Peri-apatite (PA) coating. The Triathlon® fixed bearing cementless baseplate and femoral components are compatible with the current Triathlon® tibial inserts and patellas. The Triathlon® components proposed in this submission are manufactured from cast cobalt chrome and have a cobalt chrome porous coating, available with and without a PA coating. The Triathlon® tibial component is fixed bearing and will be provided in sizes 1 through 8. The femoral components will be offered in both cruciate retaining (CR) and posterior stabilizing (PS) versions, also in sizes 1 through 8.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a traditional knee implant system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a total knee system intended to alleviate pain and restore function in patients with painful, disabling joint disease of the knee, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device, the Triathlon® Total Knee System, is an orthopedic implant intended for surgical replacement of the knee joint to alleviate pain and restore function. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (femoral and tibial components made of cast cobalt chrome with porous coating) intended for surgical implantation, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

No, 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 provided text describes a surgical implant (a total knee system) intended to be surgically placed within the human body to replace a damaged knee joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "alleviate pain and restore function" through surgical implantation, not through testing bodily samples.

The Triathlon® Total Knee System is a medical device, specifically a prosthetic implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3565 Knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.
