Yes
The device is a knee replacement system intended to treat conditions such as degenerative joint disease and rheumatoid arthritis, which are health-related conditions that require medical intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is a total knee replacement system, which is a therapeutic device intended to replace a damaged knee joint, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of Cobalt Chrome and polyethylene, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, 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 Apex Knee™ System is a total knee replacement prosthesis. It is an implantable device used to replace a damaged knee joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for primary and revision total knee replacement, addressing conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and functional deformities. This involves surgical implantation into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of bodily fluids, or diagnostic purposes based on in vitro analysis.

Therefore, the Apex Knee™ System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

specifically for the ECiMa Tibial Inserts & Patellae.
These tests include:
• material characterization,
• PS post strength testing,
• insert disassembly strength testing,
• wear testing. |
| | Biological testing of the ECiMa material was conducted
for biocompatibility. These tests include:
• intramuscular implantation in animal models,
• implant toxicity and subcutaneous implantation in
animal models. |
| | The results of the testing show that the Apex Knee
ECiMa Tibial Inserts & Patellae are safe and effective
for the proposed indications and is substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices. |
| | Based on the design, fundamental technology, material,
