Intended Use
The Symmetric™ Total Knee System consist of single use components intended for total knee arthroplasty with the following indications. 1. Osteoarthritis (for cemented use only) 2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (for cemented use only) 3. Traumatic Arthritis (for cemented use only) 4. Where the use of a more conservative procedure has failed or is unacceptable.
Device Description
The Symmetric™ Total Knee System is intended for the resurfacing of the knee joint. The system consists of metallic femoral and tibial components (including an available metaphyseal stem) and a polyethylene tibial insert and patellar component. The FEMORAL COMPONENT is designed for left/right orientations. The femoral component is manufactured from cast cobalt chromium/molybdenum (CoCrMo). The femoral component will be available in eight sizes (1-8) and will have a central post (with a 5° valgus angle) and gussets to aid in rotational stability and to increase strength. It will be plasma sprayed with Commercially Pure Titanium (CPTi). The TIBIAL TRAY is a symmetrically designed component, eliminating the need for left/right orientations. The tibial component is manufactured from wrought titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V). The tibial tray features a central post, a pair of gussets, and 2 to 4 pegs on the underside broviding rotational stabilization and increased tray strength. Four screw holes in the tibial tray allow for optional screw fixation. The tibial tray is designed with locking features permitting the UHMWPE tibial insert to be snapped into place. The tibial tray has 8 sizes (1-8) and is plasma sprayed with Commercially Pure Titanium (CPTi). The TIBIAL INSERT is also a symmetrically designed component manufactured from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (ASTM F648). The inserts' articulating geometry is semiconstrained and is captured in the tibial tray by the mating capture features. The insert is available in nine thicknesses (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35mm) and 8 sizes (1-8). The METAPHYSEAL STEM is designed to be driven onto a tibial tray further increasing the fit and fill of the component allowing for a more stable system. The REVISION STEM is designed to be driven onto a tibial tray or femoral component further increasing the stability of a revision component. The PATELLAR COMPONENT is dome shaped and tracks nicely against the femoral component.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a total knee replacement system. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies are non-clinical, focusing on mechanical testing.

No

Explanation: This device is an orthopedic implant (Total Knee System) designed to resurface the knee joint, which would classify it as a surgical or prosthetic device rather than a therapeutic device in terms of direct therapy application. While it treats a condition, it does so through replacement, not therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The Symmetric™ Total Knee System is an implantable prosthetic device intended for joint resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to replace parts of the knee joint in patients with conditions like osteoarthritis, not to diagnose those conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of metallic and polyethylene materials, intended for surgical implantation. This is not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Symmetric™ Total Knee System is a prosthetic implant designed to replace the knee joint. It is surgically implanted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for total knee arthroplasty (surgical replacement of the knee joint) to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not on a specimen outside the body.

The provided information clearly describes a surgically implanted medical device, not a device used for testing biological samples in a laboratory setting.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Testing:
Testing performed was consistent with Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA (dated January 16, 2003). Tests included poly push in, push off, and pull out; tibial tray and femoral fatigue; femoral-tibial and femoralpatellar joint stability; femoral-tibial and femoral-patellar contact area/contact stress; static tensile and torsional testing of the modular stem/trunnion junction; and fatigue testing of the modular stems in conjunction with both the femur and tibia.

Clinical Testing:
No clinical data was utilized for the basis of substantial equivalence.

Conclusions:
Based on the Symmetric Total Knee System having the same intended use, the results of the non-clinical tests being substantially equivalent to or better than those of at least one predicate device, and the indications for use being similar, we feel that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness.

§ 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.
