Intended Use
The Vanquard® Cruciate Molded Poly Tibia is intended for: 1. Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved; 2. Failure of a previous joint replacement procedure 3. Correction of varus, valgus, or post traumatic deformity; 4. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy or arthrodesis. The device is a single use implant intended for use with bone cement.
Device Description
The Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia (also referred to as the Vanguard® Mono-Lock) is intended to replace the tibial articulating surface in a joint replacement and works in conjunction with previously cleared Vanguard® Knee Systems. There are three parts to the Vanguard® Removable Cruciate Molded Polyethylene Tibia component: the tibial plate (Co-Cr-Mo), tibial bearing (UHMWPE) and an insert (Ti-6AL-4V). The profile of the tibial plate is identical to that of the predicates. The stem geometry of the Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia is non modular and does not include the conical core geometry to house the female taper as the predicate K915132. The articulation surface is identical to the surface cleared in K060525.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a knee implant intended to treat painful and disabled knee joints resulting from various arthritic conditions and deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is a surgical implant (a molded poly tibia) intended to replace a joint surface, not to diagnose a condition. Its stated uses are for treating existing knee joint issues and failed previous procedures.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of Co-Cr-Mo, UHMWPE, and Ti-6AL-4V, intended for surgical implantation in the knee joint. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing a knee joint. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a knee implant (tibial plate, bearing, insert) and how it functions within a joint replacement system. This aligns with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) or providing information for diagnosis. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural.

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.

§ 888.3560 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.

Device Description:

The Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia (also referred to as the Vanguard® Mono-Lock) is intended to replace the tibial articulating surface in a joint replacement and works in conjunction with previously cleared Vanguard® Knee Systems. There are three parts to the Vanguard® Removable Cruciate Molded Polyethylene Tibia component: the tibial plate (Co-Cr-Mo), tibial bearing (UHMWPE) and an insert (Ti-6AL-4V).

The profile of the tibial plate is identical to that of the predicates. The stem geometry of the Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia is non modular and does not include the conical core geometry to house the female taper as the predicate K915132.

The articulation surface is identical to the surface cleared in K060525.

Summary of Technologies:

The technological characteristics (material, design, and sizing) of the Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia are identical to the predicate devices. The only change made to the Vanquard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia from the predicate device K060525 is to the stem design; the new device has a fixed cruciate stem whereas the predicate has a fixed I-beam stem. Additional sizes to the tibial plate and bearing include 59mm, 87mm and 91mm, which are identical to the predicate devices in K915132. The material, locking mechanism, and bearing articulation remain identical to the predicate devices. Therefore, Biomet believes the Vanguard® Removable Molded Poly Tibia is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared devices.

Non-Clinical Testing:

Mechanical testing was previously performed to determine substantial equivalence and the following test reports were provided in the predicate 510(k): CoCr I-Beam Tray 80/20 Fatique Test Report, Removable Molded Tibia PS Post Fatigue Strength, 10mm PS Component - Intercondylar Polyethylene Thickness Analysis, Vanguard Removable Retention Test. The CoCr Cruciate Plate 80/20 Fatigue Test Report is also provided to further indicate the devices are functional within its intended use.

Clinical Testing:

No clinical testing was necessary for a determination of substantial equivalence.
