Intended Use
Joint replacement is indicated for patients suffering from disability due to: - degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis; . - . avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle; - . post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy; - . moderate valgus, varus or flexion deformities; This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts. This device is intended to be used with the 3DKnee System for cemented or uncemented applications.
Device Description
The Highly Cross-Linked Vitamin E UHMWPE (HXL VE) Tibial Inserts are manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) powder that is blended with pure liquid pharmaceutical grade alpha-tocopheral, compression molded and then highly cross-linked. The tibial inserts are available in 9 sizes (2- 12) and 5 thicknesses (9-19) and are provided in right and left orientations. The HXL VE Tibial Insert design is identical to the 3DKnee Tibial Insert cleared via K020114. This insert is intended to more closely match the kinematics of the knee, allowing some rotation along the medial condyle and increased congruency along the lateral condyle. The baseplate attachment mechanism is the same as the previously cleared 3DKnee System inserts.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (tibial insert) and its material properties and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML.

Yes
The device, a tibial insert for joint replacement, is used to treat conditions like arthritis and avascular necrosis, which are medical conditions causing disability. Its function is to restore joint configuration and kinematics, directly addressing and alleviating these health issues.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Highly Cross-Linked Vitamin E UHMWPE (HXL VE) Tibial Inserts," which are components for joint replacement surgery. The "Intended Use" section describes conditions for which joint replacement is indicated, not for diagnosing those conditions. The performance studies listed are related to material characterization, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of the implant, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (tibial inserts made of UHMWPE) and details its manufacturing process and physical characteristics.

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 joint replacement to treat conditions affecting the knee joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (tibial insert) made of a specific material for use in knee replacement surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens like blood, urine, tissue, etc., or to provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or prosthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Non-Clinical Testing:
The following non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence: mechanical material characterization (Tensile, Small Punch, Izod Impact, and crack propagation), physical and chemical characterization ( Oxidation Index, Compressive Modulus, Poisson's Ratio, Surface Roughness, Density, Onset Melting Temperature, Peak Melting Temperature, Delta H, Degree of Crystallinity, Crosslink Density, Swell Ratio, Molecular Weight, Polydispersity Index, Lamallae Thickness, Free Radical Concentration, Vitamin E Concentration, Vitamin E Consolidation, Vitamin E Elution/Extraction, Trans-vinylene Index), tibial insert peel-out strength, wear testing, and biocompatibility. All testing has demonstrated the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Clinical Testing:
None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

§ 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.
