Intended Use
The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a World Knee replacement system. 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.
Device Description
Devices covered in this 510(K) are a range extension to previously cleared 510(K) applications for World Knee system. The range extension consists of titanium tibial baseplates for the World knee, and a change to the meniscal insert connection mechanism for the World knee. The tibial baseplate is made of Titanium available in cemented version. The World Knee meniscal inserts are available as posterior stabilized or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. All variants of the meniscal inserts are manufactured from UHMWPE.
More Information

No
The summary describes a range extension for a knee replacement system, focusing on material and design changes (titanium tibial baseplates, meniscal insert connection). There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is a knee replacement system intended to treat various degenerative joint diseases, functional deformities, and fractures, which directly addresses medical conditions and restores function.

No

Explanation: The device is a World Knee replacement system, which is a surgically implanted prosthetic device used to replace a damaged knee joint. Its intended use is for treatment of conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures, not for diagnosing these conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like titanium tibial baseplates and UHMWPE meniscal inserts, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this is a "World Knee replacement system," which is a physical implant designed to replace a damaged knee joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the conditions for which the knee replacement is indicated (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) and the method of fixation (cemented). This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, this device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

  • . 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.

§ 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. 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.

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

Device Description:

Devices covered in this 510(K) are a range extension to previously cleared 510(K) applications for World Knee system. The range extension consists of titanium tibial

baseplates for the World knee, and a change to the meniscal insert connection mechanism for the World knee. The tibial baseplate is made of Titanium available in cemented version. The World Knee meniscal inserts are available as posterior stabilized or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. All variants of the meniscal inserts are manufactured from UHMWPE.

Indications for Use:

The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a World Knee replacement system. 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:

Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the World Knee system is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use. Nonclinical testing carried out on the World Knee system included:

  • Modular component interlock strength testing per ASTM F1814
  • . Modular component assembly testing per ASTM F1814
  • Tibial plate fatigue strength testing per ASTM F1800
  • . Endotoxin testing per AAMI ST72

Substantial Equivalence:

The Signature Orthopaedics World Knee System has the same intended use, indications for use, materials and similar design features to the predicate devices. Non-clinical testing results support the substantial equivalence claim.

Comparison of technological characteristics

The World Knee System design is similar to Signature Orthopaedics World Knee Systems (K180750 & K181530). The World Knee tibial plate material is similar to Smith & Nephew Genesis II Total Knee System (K030612 & K032683). The World Knee Meniscal insert material is the same as Signature Orthopaedics Genius Knee System (K170613), Signature Orthopaedics Active-X Knee System (K160159) and Smith & Nephew Genesis II Total Knee System (K030612 & K032683).

Conclusions:

Technical comparison of the subject and predicate devices demonstrates equivalence in device design, intended use, indications for use and material. Non-clinical data support the safety and effectiveness of the Signature Orthopaedics World Knee Total Knee System.
