The summary describes a knee prosthesis system and its components, focusing on materials and mechanical testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.
Yes
This device is a total knee replacement system designed to alleviate severe pain and disability caused by conditions like arthritis and avascular necrosis, directly addressing the underlying health issues.
No
Explanation: The device is a knee prosthesis designed for total knee arthroplasty, which is a treatment for joint conditions, not a tool for diagnosing them.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a sterile implantable device designed for tricompartmental replacement of the natural knee joint, which are physical components.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a knee prosthesis for total knee arthroplasty. This is a surgical implant used to replace a damaged joint.
- Device Description: The device description details the components of the knee replacement system, including tibial inserts and a resurfacing patella, all made of materials suitable for implantation. It explicitly states they are "sterile implantable devices designed for tricompartmental replacement of the natural knee joint."
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is an implantable medical device used inside the body to replace a joint.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
GMK knee prosthesis is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty, if there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.
This knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases:
- Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis.
- Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle.
- · Post traumatic loss of joint configuration.
- · Primary implantation failure.
GMK Sphere can be implanted using a kinematic alignment approach. When a kinematic alignment approach is utilized, this knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases:
- · Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis.
- · Collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle.
- · Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities.
Tibial wedges cemented are to be attached to the tibial baseplate with both the fixing cylinders and bone cement. The screwed tibial augments are for screwed fixation to the tibial baseplate.
In case a semi-constrained liner is used, an extension stem must be implanted both on the femoral components. In case a GMK Revision tibial tray is used, an extension stem must be implanted.

§ 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.

Performance Data VII.
A review of the mechanical data on the subject and predicate devices indicates that the subject devices are equivalent to devices currently cleared for use and do not alter the intended surgical outcomes. The purpose of this submission is to introduce new GMK Sphere inserts and Resurfacing patella made of Vitamin E Highly Crosslinked UHMWPE. The introduction of the subject items do not require additional instrumentation needed during the surgical procedure. The new inserts and resurfacing patella design introduction was evaluated bv risk analysis to identify any new risks associated. Based on the risk analysis, additional tests have been performed in order to demonstrate that the new E-Cross inserts and new E-Cross Resurfacing patella are as safe as effective as the predicate devices.
Testing was conducted according to written protocols with acceptance criteria that were based on standards. The following mechanical studies were performed in support of a substantial equivalence determination:

VIII. Conclusion
Based on the above information, the GMK Sphere Flex insert E-CROSS (Vitamin E Highly Crosslinked UHMWPE), GMK Sphere CR E-CROSS (Vitamin E Highly Crosslinked UHMWPE) inserts and the E-CROSS Resurfacing Patella (Vitamin E Highly Crosslinked UHMWPE) are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
Substantial equivalence has been demonstrated through a comparison of intended use, design, and technological characteristics, as well as performance evaluations.
The GMK Sphere Extension implants are as safe and effective as the predicate devices
