Device Description
The Maxx Orthopedics' Freedom® CR Femoral Component is compatible with the Maxx Orthopedics Freedom® Total Knee System subject of K082019 and the Metal Backed Tibial Component subject of K090411. The Maxx Orthopedics' Freedom® Total Knee System subject of K082019 is comprised of a femoral component, tibial component and patella component. The proposed Freedom® CR Femoral Component consist of a cobalt-chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) component that is designed to be used with the Freedom® Total Knee System described in K082019 and the Freedom Metal Backed Tibial Component subject of K090411. The Maxx Orthopedics' Freedom® Total Knee System subject of K082019 is comprised of a femoral component (posterior stabilizing), an all-poly tibial component, and a patellar component. The Freedom Metal Backed Tibial Component subject of K090411 consists of a metal backed tibial component and polyethylene insert. The proposed CR Femoral Component will provide the surgeon with an alternative femoral component in the event that the surgeon prefers to use a CR component rather than the PS component with the Freedom® Total Knee System. In addition, a second metal backed tibial component was cleared for use with the Freedom Total Knee System under K090411. The proposed CR Femoral Component and a (UHMWPE) insert will be used in place of the PS Femoral component with the Freedom® Total Knee System. The CR Femoral Component of the Freedom® Total Knee System CR is designed to replace the articulating surface of the distal femur. The cruciate retaining femoral component is utilized when total knee replacement is indicated, and accommodates the posterior cruciate ligament if it is present.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant component and its intended use, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a component of a total knee system intended to alleviate severe knee joint pain, loss of mobility, and disability by replacing parts of the joint, which constitutes a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a knee implant designed for therapeutic purposes, such as replacing the articulating surface of the distal femur and addressing severe knee pain or deformities. It does not provide information or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a cobalt-chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) femoral component, which is a physical hardware 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 such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a femoral component designed to be used in total knee replacement surgery. It is a physical implant intended to replace a part of the knee joint.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. Its purpose is therapeutic and structural, not diagnostic.

Therefore, the Freedom® Total Knee Cruciate Retaining (CR) Femoral Component is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Mechanical and functional testing described in K082019, K090411 and in Section 8 demonstrates that the Freedom® CR Femoral Component are mechanically and functionally similar to the parent Freedom UHMWPE Tibial Component and other legally marketed knee systems. Evaluations were performed to determine the material and mechanical characteristics of the Maxx Orthopedics' Freedom® CR Femoral Component and the Freedom® Total Knee System according to the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Fernorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA. The verification and validation testing have been performed which demonstrate that the CR Femoral Component functions as intended and is safe and effective for its intended use.

(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.
