Intended Use
The Triathlon® Tritanium Tibial Baseplates are designed to be implanted with or without bone cement in primary or revision Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures. 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), theumatoid 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 Indications for Posterior Stabilizing (PS) Components: - 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® Tibial Baseplates are indicated for both cemented and uncemented use.
Device Description
The Triathlon Tritanium Tibial Baseplate is an extension of the Triathlon® Total Knee System product line for use in primary or revision Total Knee Arthroplasty. It is a sterile, single patient use, tibial baseplate and will be offered in the same size range as the current Triathlon® cementless baseplates (Sizes 1-8). This porous-coated baseplate is for use in both cemented and cementless applications. The Triathlon® Tritanium Tibial Baseplates are packaged with a sterile, single patient use, disposable Impactor Pad in-The Impaction Pad is to be used during the tibial baseplate impaction step only, and is to situ. be discarded once the impaction has been completed. The Impaction Pad is not for implantation. The Triathlon® Tritanium Tibial Baseplate is compatible for use with the Triathlon® PS, CS and CR Tibial Inserts (NoVac or X3 polyethylene), Triathlon® PS and CR Femoral components (cemented & cementless), Triathlon Symmetric Patellar components (NoVac or X3 polyethylene) (cemented), Triathlon Asymmetric Patellar components (NoVac or X3 polyethylene) (cemented), Triathlon® Metal Backed Asymmetric Patellar with PA (cementless), Duracon® Symmetric & Asymmetric Patellar components (cemented), and Duracon® Inset Patella component (cemented) . These implants may also be used with ShapeMatch Cutting Guides.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (tibial baseplate) and its compatibility with other components. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven decision-making capabilities. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and wear, typical for such devices.

Yes

The device is a tibial baseplate designed to be implanted in Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures to address painful and disabling joint disease of the knee, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it is intended to alleviate or cure a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device described is a tibial baseplate for total knee arthroplasty, which is an implant used in surgical procedures, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is to replace part of a joint, not to identify diseases or conditions.

No

The device is a physical implant (tibial baseplate) used in knee replacement surgery, not a software application.

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 Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for treatment, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a tibial baseplate, which is a component of a knee replacement implant. It is designed to be surgically implanted.
  • 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.

Therefore, the Triathlon® Tritanium Tibial Baseplates are a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Triathlon® Tritanium Tibial Baseplates are designed to be implanted with or without bone cement in primary or revision Total Knee Arthroplasty procedures.

  • 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 Indications for Posterior Stabilizing (PS) Components:

  • Ligamentous instability requiring implant bearing surface geometries with increased constraint

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 properties of the materials (ASTM F1580, ASTM F67. ASTM F136. ASTM F1147. ASTM F1044. ASTM F1160), device fatigue strength (ASTM F1800, ASTM F2083), and wear evaluation of conventional polyethylene inserts comparing subject and predicate devices (ASTM F2025, ISO 14243-3). In addition to the preceding Standards, the FDA Guidance Document entitled 'Guidance document for testing orthopaedic implants with modified metallic surfaces apposing bone or bone cement,' dated April 28, 1994, has been followed.

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

§ 888.3565 Knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.
