Intended Use
Partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. The devices covered in this 510(k) are intended to be used with Repicci Femoral component. The device is intended to be used with bone cement.
Device Description
The Repicci II® Metal Back Inlay Unicompartmental Tibial component comprised of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE), with a thin corrugated metal plate molded into the inferior surface of the device. The tibial components are available in six profiles and two thicknesses and is intended for cemented fixation.
More Information

None

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended use for knee replacement, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes
The device is an orthopedic implant (partial knee replacement) used to treat degenerative knee conditions, which directly addresses a health problem.

No
The device is a knee implant intended for partial replacement of articulating surfaces, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implantable device made of UHMWPE and metal, intended for surgical implantation in the knee. It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for the knee joint to replace damaged articulating surfaces. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of UHMWPE and metal, designed to be surgically implanted. This is consistent with a medical device for treatment, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the knee joint, which is a part of the body, not a sample taken from the body for analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 888.3530 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Padilla:

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 not 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.
