Device Description
Subject of this Abbreviated 510(k) premarket notification is the Journey. CR Knee System. The subject device is a cruciate retaining (CR) total knee system which is designed to provide the potential ability for greater flexion to those patients who have the anatomic capability to allow a greater flexion range. Components of this premarket notification include the following components: - Cruciate retaining femoral components available in sizes 1-10 in right and left designs in . OXINIUM material. - Cruciate retaining femoral components available in sizes 1-9 in right and left designs in cobalt chrome material - Cruciate retaining articular inserts available in sizes 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 in right and left . designs.

More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical knee implant system and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a total knee replacement system used to treat conditions like arthritis and failed previous knee replacements, making it a therapeutic device designed to restore knee function and alleviate symptoms.

No

Explanation: This document describes a total knee replacement system, which is an implantable medical device used to treat joint conditions, not to diagnose them. Its intended use is for treatment, not diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like OXINIUM, cobalt chrome, and UHMWPE, which are hardware. The performance studies also focus on mechanical testing of these physical components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for treating various conditions of the knee joint (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.) by replacing components of the knee. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details physical components like femoral components, articular inserts, tibial trays, and patellar components, all designed to be implanted in the knee.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.

This device is a surgical implant used for total knee replacement.

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

This 510(k) was prepared in accordance with the Agency's, "Draft Guidance for the Preparation of Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) for Cemented, Semi-Constrained Total Knee Prostheses," dated April 1993. A review of the mechanical data indicates that the Journey CR Knee System is capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure. The following mechanical testing of the Journey CR Knee system was performed:

  • Mechanical testing, removal torque, push-out and torque to failure of the Journey CR femoral . lugs
  • Static testing of the Journey CR tibial insert locking mechanism .
  • Tibiofemoral contact area analysis .
  • Tibiofemoral constraint testing
  • Patellofemoral contact area analysis
  • Patellofemoral lateral subluxation

A review of this testing has demonstrated that there are no new issues related to the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. Clinical data was not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices.

§ 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.
