Intended Use
The Apex Knee™ System is intended for use as a primary or revision total knee replacement. This prosthesis may be used for the following conditions, as appropriate: - Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; - Rheumatoid arthritis; - Correction of functional deformity; - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; The porous coated femoral component may be used cemented (biological fixation). All other femoral, tibial baseplate, and patellar components are indicated for cemented use only. The Apex Knee™ Modular Tibial Augments are intended to be bolted to the Tibia baseplate and cemented to the prepared tibia.
Device Description
The posterior stabilized system offers a femoral component and two tibial inserts (PS (K102578) and PS-C (subject device)) offering different levels of constraint. The PS-C Insert post is approximately 1 mm larger than the PS Insert (K102578). The slightly larger post is designed to produce more varus/valgus and internal/external rotational constraint.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee replacement system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is a total knee replacement system intended to treat various joint diseases and deformities, thereby alleviating symptoms and restoring function.

No

This device is described as a "total knee replacement" system, which is a prosthetic intended for surgical implantation to replace a diseased or damaged knee joint. Its purpose is to correct functional deformity and replace failed joints, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical knee replacement system with components like femoral components, tibial inserts, and augments, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Apex Knee™ System is a total knee replacement prosthesis. This is a surgical implant used to replace a damaged knee joint.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of the prosthesis (femoral component, tibial inserts, tibial augments) and their function in providing stability and constraint within the knee joint.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Clinical Context: The device is intended for surgical implantation to treat conditions affecting the knee joint.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used inside the body to restore function.

§ 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.
