More Information

No
The summary describes a total knee arthroplasty system and its components, focusing on materials, indications, and compatibility with the Mako System. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device, a total knee arthroplasty system, is explicitly indicated for treating painful and disabling joint diseases, and restoring knee joint configuration and function, which are therapeutic functions.

No

The device description clearly states that this submission covers components for a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) system, which are used for replacement procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it covers physical components of a total knee system (femoral, tibial, and patellar components) made from various materials, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure (Total Knee Arthroplasty) to treat painful and disabling joint disease of the knee. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as components of a total knee system (femoral, tibial, and patellar components) made from various materials. These are implants used in surgery.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the mechanical and functional performance of the implant within the body (fatigue, constraint, contact stress, etc.), not diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical implant used to replace a damaged knee joint.

§ 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.

  • 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.

  • Absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament.
  • Severe anteroposterior instability of the knee joint.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The addition of an individualized alignment pre-operative planning methodology does not impact the following technological characteristics of the subject Triathlon® Total Knee System compared to the primary predicate devices:

  • o Intended use – Identical to primary predicate
  • o Indications for Use – Identical to primary predicate
  • . Design – Identical to primary predicate
  • o Materials – Identical to primary predicate
