Intended Use
1. Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, or traumatic arthritis, or traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved. 2. Correction of varus, valgus, or posttraumatic deformity. 3. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or failure of previous total joint replacement procedure. Femoral components and tibial tray components with porous coatings are indicated for cemented biological fixation application. Non-coated (Interlok) femoral components and all polyethylene patellar components are indicated for cemented application only.
Device Description
The Vanguard XP Knee System is a total knee replacement system that consists of a femoral component composed of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo), two styles of tibial trays manufactured out of Co-Cr-Mo (with locking bar), and dual bearings machined of Vivacit-E Vitamin-E Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene (VEHXPE). Biomet patellae can be used with the Vanguard XP Knee System. The subject Vanguard XP tibial components are available with a porous plasma spray (PPS®) of titanium alloy powder for uncemented or cemented fixation or with Biomet's Interlok coarse blasted finish for cemented fixation only. The Vanguard XP Knee System offers the flexibility to retain the ACL and PCL ligaments, retain just the PCL ligament and accommodate an intact, partially functioning PCL within a single system.
More Information

No
The document describes a total knee replacement system and its components. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based decision-making or analysis that would typically indicate the presence of AI/ML. The performance studies are engineering analyses of the physical components.

Yes
The device is a total knee replacement system intended to address painful and disabled knee joints resulting from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or for correction/revision of deformities and failed previous procedures, which are therapeutic indications.

No

Explanation: The device described is a total knee replacement system, which is a prosthetic implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of materials like cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and polyethylene, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device (a total knee replacement system).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing a damaged knee joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a total knee replacement system consisting of physical components (femoral component, tibial trays, bearings, patellae) designed to be implanted in the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, the Vanguard XP Knee System is a medical device (specifically, a surgical implant), but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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 Charles Neitzel:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The subject device has the same intended use and similar indications for use as the Vanguard XP Knee System predicate devices. The subject device has similar technological characteristics to the predicates, and the performance data and analyses demonstrate that:

  • any differences do not raise new questions of safety . and effectiveness; and
  • the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices.
