No
The description mentions using patient imaging and software for design, but it explicitly states using "Off the Shelf (OTS) software" and does not mention any AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, design, or any other function. The image analysis is stated to be identical to previously cleared devices, which are not described as using AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "BiCompartmental Knee Repair System" and its intended use includes "restoring joint function and relief of pain due to painful joint disease due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the knee, post traumatic loss of joint function, failed osteotomies, hemiarthoplasties and unicondylar implants." These are all therapeutic actions.
No
The device is a knee implant designed to treat joint conditions, not to diagnose them. It uses imaging data to create a custom implant, but the imaging itself is for design purposes, not diagnostic interpretation by the device.
No
The device description clearly states that the system includes physical components manufactured from cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy and Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, which are implanted into the patient. While software is used in the design process, the final device is a physical implant.
Based on the provided text, 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 ConforMIS, Inc., BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is a "femorotibial semi-constrained total knee implant." This is a surgical implant designed to be placed inside the body to replace damaged knee joint components.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "restore joint function and relief of pain" due to various knee conditions by surgically implanting the device. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
- Input: While the device design uses imaging data (CT or MRI scans) of the patient's anatomy, this is used for designing the implant, not for performing a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
Therefore, the ConforMIS, Inc., BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ConforMIS, Inc., BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is intended for use in patients with severe knee joint pain and disability whose conditions cannot be solely addressed by the use of a prosthetic device that treats only a single knee compartment, such as a unicondylar or patellofemoral prosthesis. The indications for use include restoring joint function and relief of pain due to:
- painful joint disease due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or . rheumatoid arthritis of the knee
- post traumatic loss of joint function .
- . failed osteotomies, hemiarthoplasties and unicondylar implants.
The BiCompartmental Knee Repair System may be utilized when the medial or lateral condyle and the patellofcmoral areas have been affected by one or more of these conditions.
The ConforMIS, Inc., BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is intended only for use with bone cement.

Device Description
The ConforMIS, Inc., BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is a femorotibial semi-constrained total knee implant. The design of the product incorporates a bone preserving approach, with minimal bone resection, for the treatment of severe pain and/or disability of a knee damaged by osteoarthritis or trauma. It is intended for use in those patients whose condition cannot be appropriately and effectively addressed using a device that treats only a single knee compartment (i.e. a unicondylar or patellofemoral prosthesis), when the medial or lateral condyle and the patellofemoral regions are affected. Using patient imaging (either CT or MRI scans), a patient specific implant is designed that best meets the geometric and anatomic requirements of the specific patient. The treatment allows for the placement of a cemented metallic device designed from the patient's natural bone geometry. The device is manufactured from cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy (ASTM-F-1537) from data obtained from images of the patient's individual geometry obtained using either CT or MRI scans. The tibial and patellar components are manufactured from Ulta-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene ("UHMWP" ASTM-F-648) The ConforMIS, Inc., Implant Software is used to remove surface defects to produce a working design image of a smooth surface. Off the Shelf (OTS) software is utilized to produce the surface Subsequently, Solid Works OTS software is used to create the design. ConforMIS, Inc., Implant Engineering Drawing. The BiCompartmental Knee Repair System is intended for use in conjunction with the tibial components of the ConforMIS Unicondylar Knee Replacement System and the patellofemoral components of the ConforMIS Total Knee Repair System.

§ 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)
