Intended Use
The Balanced Knee® System High Flex Vitamin E PS tibial insert and patella are intended for use in cemented total knee arthroplasty procedures with the following.indications: 1. Loss of knee joint configuration and joint function. 2. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint. 3. Rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint. 4. Post-traumatic arthritis of the knee joint. 5. Valgus, varus, or flexion deformities of the knee joint. 6. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed.
Device Description
The Balanced Knee® System High Flex Vitamin E (High Flex Vit E) PS tibial insert and patella are machined from extensively crosslinked, compression molded, Vitamin E UHMWPE. Both components are single use only. The High Flex Vit E PS tibial insert must be used in conjunction with the High Flex PS femoral component (K123457). Used together, these components are designed to accommodate increased range of motion up to 150° of flexion. The High Flex Vit E patella may be used in conjunction with the Balanced Knee® System (BKS) femoral components (K994370), the BKS modular femoral components (K060569), or the High Flex PS femoral components (K123457). Both the High Flex Vit E PS tibial insert and patella may be used in conjunction with the BKS standard and modular tibial trays, tibial augments, and stems to complete the semi-constrained modular knee prosthesis. The tibial trays, tibial augments, and stems were approved under K994370 and K031201.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant made of specific materials and designed for increased range of motion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes.
This device is a total knee arthroplasty component, which is used to restore joint function and configuration, addressing various knee joint conditions. This functional restoration and treatment of disease classify it as a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a prosthetic implant (tibial insert and patella) used in total knee arthroplasty procedures for the treatment of various knee joint conditions, rather than for diagnosing them.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical implant (tibial insert and patella) made from UHMWPE, intended for surgical implantation in total knee arthroplasty. It is not software.

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 device is for use in "cemented total knee arthroplasty procedures." This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "tibial insert and patella," which are components of a knee implant. These are physical devices implanted into the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such testing on bodily specimens.

The device is a surgical implant used to replace parts of the knee joint, which falls under the category of medical devices used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass, or outside the living body).

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

The following non-clinical testing was performed to determined substantial equivalence to the predicate devices:

  • Range of Motion: Up to 150° flexion; Substantially Equivalent to predicate device, BKS High, Flex
  • Femorotibial Constraint: Substantially Equivalent to predicate device, BKS High Flex
  • Femorotibial Contact Area: Substantially Equivalent to predicate device, BKS High Flex
  • Patellofemoral Constraint: Substantially Equivalent to predicate device, BKS High Flex
  • Patellofemoral Contact Area: Substantially Equivalent to predicate device, BKS High Flex
  • PS Spine Fatigue: Substantially Equivalent
  • Insert Assembly/Disassembly: Substantially Equivalent
  • Crosslinking Characterization of High Flex Vit E: Substantially equivalent or better than BKS
  • Vitamin E Characterization of High Flex Vit E: Substantially equivalent or better than BKS
  • High Flex Knee Wear: Decrease in wear over BKS

Ortho Development believes that the High Flex Vit E PS tibial insert and patella are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices based on similarities in intended use, design, materials, manufacturing methods, packaging, and mechanical performance.

§ 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 Balanced Knee® System High Flex Vitamin E (High Flex Vit E) PS tibial insert and patella are machined from extensively crosslinked, compression molded, Vitamin E UHMWPE. Both components are single use only. The High Flex Vit E PS tibial insert must be used in conjunction with the High Flex PS femoral component (K123457). Used together, these components are designed to accommodate increased range of motion up to 150° of flexion. The High Flex Vit E patella may be used in conjunction with the Balanced Knee® System (BKS) femoral components (K994370), the BKS modular femoral components (K060569), or the High Flex PS femoral components (K123457).

The tibial trays, tibial augments, and stems were approved under K994370 and K031201.

Intended Use

The Balanced Knee® System High Flex Vitamin E PS tibial insert and patella are intended for use in cemented total knee arthroplasty procedures with the following indications:

    1. Loss of knee joint configuration and joint function.
  • Osteoarthritis of the knee joint. 2.
    1. Rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint.
    1. Post-traumatic arthritis of the knee joint.
  • ഗ് Valgus, varus, or flexion deformities of the knee joint.

Material: Extensively Crosslinked Vitamin E
Polyethylene UHMWPE (α-tocopherol)DJO Surgical/Encore Medical: Vit E UHMWPE Tibial Insert (K091956)

There is only one difference between the High Flex Vit E PS insert when compared to the BKS High Flex PS insert: the implementation of a different material, crosslinked Vitamin E UHMWPE. Likewise, the High Flex Vit E patella is identical to the BKS patella except for the crosslinked Vitamin E UHMWPE material. The indications for use for the High Flex Vit E PS tibial insert and patella are identical to the indications for use for the BKS High Flex. The crosslinked Vitamin E UHMWPE for the High Flex Vit E PS insert and patella undergoes substantially equivalent fabrication and final processing as its predicate, DJO/Encore's Vitamin E UHMWPE tibial insert.

Dear Mr. Haucter:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Ilisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
