Intended Use
The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a knee replacement. Patients should have adequate bone stock and size to support and accept the prosthesis. The patient's need for knee replacement should be due to one or more of the following conditions: - Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, or avascular necrosis. - Inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis. - Functional deformity such as varus, valgus or flexion deformities. - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed. - Fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. The World Knee replacement system is indicated for cemented fixation with bone cement (PMMA) only.
Device Description
The World Knee system is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate. The femoral component and tibial baseplate components are manufactured from cast cobalt chromium alloy and are intended for use with bone cement. The modular femoral peg is manufactured from wrought cobalt chromium alloy. The femoral component and meniscal inserts are available as posterior stabilised or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. All variants of the meniscal insert and patella are manufactured from UHMWPE.

The document describes a standard knee replacement system and its components, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is a knee replacement system, which clearly falls under the category of a therapeutic device designed to treat and improve the conditions listed in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section.

No

This document describes a knee replacement system, which is a prosthetic device used for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate," which are physical hardware 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant (a knee replacement system) that is physically placed inside the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace a damaged knee joint due to various conditions, which is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The information provided clearly describes a medical device used for treatment through surgical implantation, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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.

Dear Declan Brazil:

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, listing 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.

Device Description:

The World Knee system is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate. The femoral component and tibial baseplate components are manufactured from cast cobalt chromium alloy and are intended for use with bone cement. The modular femoral peg is manufactured from wrought cobalt chromium alloy. The femoral component and meniscal inserts are available as posterior stabilised or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. All variants of the meniscal insert and patella are manufactured from UHMWPE.

Indications for Use:

The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a knee replacement. Patients should have adequate bone stock and size to support and accept the prosthesis.

The patient's need for knee replacement should be due to one or more of the following

conditions:

  • Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis.
  • . Inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis.
  • . Functional deformity such as varus, valgus or flexion deformities.
  • . Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed.
  • Fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. ●

The World Knee replacement system is indicated for cemented fixation with bone cement (PMMA) only.

Performance Testing:

Engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the World Knee system is is equal or better than the predicate device and therefore adequate for anticipated in-vivo use.

Substantial Equivalence:

The World Knee System has the same intended use, indications for use, materials and similar design as the Signature Orthopaedics Genius Knee System (K170613). The subject devices are expected to perform adequately during clinical use.

Comparison of technological characteristics

The following technological similarities exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • . the World Knee incorporates the same materials as the Genius Knee
  • the World Knee has the same manufacturing process as the Genius Knee
  • . the World Knee has the same geometry and fundamental design as the Genius Knee
  • . the World Knee has the same body contact as the Genius Knee
  • the World Knee has the same sterilization process as the Genius Knee

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • . there are minor design differences in the femoral components, and meniscal insert component
  • an additional 2 intermediate sizes have been added
