Intended Use
The Triathlon® All-Polyethylene Condylar Stabilizing (CS) and Posterior Stabilizing (PS) Tibial Implants are for cemented use in primary and revision Total Knee Arthroplasty. General Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKR) Indications: - Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis. - Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function. - Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability. - Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other procedure. - Fracture of the distal femur and/or proximal tibia that cannot be stabilized by standard fracture management techniques. Additional General Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKR) Indications specific to the PS implant: - Ligamentous instability requiring implant bearing surface geometries with increased constraint. - Absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament. - Severe anteroposterior instability of the knee joint. The Triathlon All Polyethylene tibial components are indicated for cemented use only.
Device Description
The subject devices are a line extension to the Triathlon® Total Knee System (K063423, K050539, K042993 and K031729), providing an all-polyethylene tibial component in CS and PS designs. The All-Poly CS and PS Tibial implants are similar in intended use, design, materials, mechanical testing and operational priniciples as the predicate devices. These components are designed for cemented use only. These implants are compatible for use with the Triathlon® PS, TS and CR Femoral Components (cemented and uncemented), Triathlon® PS and CR Femoral Components with PA (uncemented), Triathlon® Symmetrical Patellar Component [Conventional or X30 UHMWE] (cemented), Triathlon® Asymmetrical Patellar Component [Conventional or X3® UHMWPE] (cemented), Triathlon® Metal-Backed Patellar Component with PA (uncemented), Duracon® Symmetric Patellar Component (cemented). Duracon Asymmetric Patellar Component (cemented), and Duracon® Inset Patellar Component (cemented).
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (tibial component for knee replacement) and its compatibility with other mechanical components. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical tests, not algorithmic performance evaluations.

Yes
The device, a knee replacement implant, is intended to treat painful and disabling joint diseases, restore function, and correct deformities, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is a total knee arthroplasty implant, which is a prosthetic device used for treatment, not diagnosis. Its purpose is to replace parts of the knee joint, as indicated by its intended use for painful, disabling joint disease of the knee and revision of previous knee replacements.

No

The device description clearly states it is a line extension of physical tibial implants made of polyethylene, designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty. It describes physical components and their compatibility with other physical components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant used in Total Knee Arthroplasty. It is a physical component (tibial implant) that is surgically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace a damaged knee joint, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.

The document clearly describes a medical device used for surgical intervention, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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

Non-Clinical Testing: Deflection and Micromotion testing were performed to verify design and establish the basis for substantial equivalence. Micromotion testing was conducted to show the difference in force/motion that the cement and bone interface would see in response to the change of articulation and periphery when utilizing the Scorpio cement features. The deflection test was conducted to make sure that the stiffness (and strength) of the Triathlon All-Poly Tibial Implant component was equivalent or better then the Scorpio All-Poly Tibial Implant with change to the articulation and periphery. Device comparison showed that the proposed device is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials and performance characteristics to the predicate devices.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required 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.

Intended Use: The Triathlon Triathlon® All-Polyethylene Condylar Stabilizing (CS) and Posterior Stabilizing (PS) Tibial Implants are for cemented use in primary and revision Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Indications:

General Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKR) Indications:

  • Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis.

  • Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function.

  • Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability.

  • Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other procedure.

  • Fracture of the distal femur and/or proximal tibia that cannot be stabilized by standard fracture management techniques.

Additional General Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKR) Indications specific to the PS implant:

  • Ligamentous instability requiring implant bearing surface geometries with increased constraint.

  • Absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament.

  • Severe anteroposterior instability of the knee joint.

The Triathlon All Polyethylene tibial components are indicated for cemented use only.

Summary of Technologies: The Triathlon All-Poly Tibial Implant is designed to be substantially equivalent to the Scorpio All-Poly Tibial Implant and the Triathlon polyethylene inserts. The Triathlon All-Poly Tibial Implant articular surface and periphery is designed equivalently to the existing Triathlon inserts. The bottom side of the All-Poly Tibial Implant is designed with the Scorpio All-Poly Tibial Implant cement features to which was added a line to line boss with flat posterior section that ensures the cement mantle is even around the keel (the Scorpio design allows the keel to be shifted and have varying cement thicknesses).

Non-Clinical Testing: Deflection and Micromotion testing were performed to verify design and establish the basis for substantial equivalence. Micromotion testing was conducted to show the difference in force/motion that the cement and bone interface would see in response to the change of articulation and periphery when utilizing the Scorpio cement features. The deflection test was conducted to make sure that the stiffness (and strength) of the Triathlon All-Poly Tibial Implant component was equivalent or better then the Scorpio All-Poly Tibial Implant with change to the articulation and periphery. Device comparison showed that the proposed device is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials and performance characteristics to the predicate devices.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.

2

Conclusion: The Triathlon® All-Polyethylene Condylar Stabilizing (CS) and Posterior Stabilizing (PS) Tibial Implants are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in this premarket notification.
