The summary describes software used for patient-specific implant design based on CT scans, but it does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML algorithms for this process. The focus is on geometric and anatomical requirements, which can be achieved with traditional software methods.
Yes
The device is a knee replacement system intended to restore function and alleviate pain in patients with severe knee joint conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: This device is a knee replacement system intended for therapeutic use (replacing a knee joint), not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical components such as femoral, tibial, and patellar components made of various materials (CoCrMo, Ti6AL4V-ELI, UHMWPE). While software is used for patient-specific design, the core device is a physical implant system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The iTotal® Identity™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System is a surgical implant designed to replace a damaged knee joint. It is a physical device implanted into the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat knee joint pain and disability by replacing the joint, not by analyzing biological specimens.
- Device Description: The description details the materials and components of the implant itself and associated surgical instruments.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of the implant in a surgical context (cadaveric testing, constraint analysis, etc.), not on the accuracy of diagnostic measurements from biological samples.
While the device uses patient imaging (CT scans) for design, this is for surgical planning and creating a patient-specific implant, not for performing a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The iTotal® Identity™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System (KRS) is intended for use as a total knee replacement in patients with knee joint pain and disability whose conditions cannot be solely addressed by the use of a prosthetic device that treats only one or two of the three knee compartments, such as a unicondylar, patellofemoral or bicompartmental prosthesis.
The Indications for Use include:
• Painful joint disease due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or osteonecrosis of the knee.
- · Post traumatic loss of joint function.
· Moderate varus, valgus or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability.
· Failed osteotomies, hemiarthroplasties, and unicondylar, patellofemoral or bicompartmental implants.
· Revision procedures provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans.
This implant is intended for cemented use only. The CS insert option should be utilized when additional anterior-posterior constraint is desired.

Device Description
iTotal® Identity™ Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System (KRS) is a patient-specific tri-compartmental faceted knee replacement system. It is a posterior cruciate ligament retaining knee replacement system. It is a semi-constrained, cemented knee implant which consists of femoral, tibial, and patellar components. An optional Cruciate Sacrificing insert may be utilized when additional anterior-posterior constraint is desired.
Using patient imaging (CT scans) and a combination of proprietary and off-the-shelf software, a patient-specific implant is designed that best meets the geometric and anatomic requirements of the specific patient. The femoral component is manufactured from cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy. The tibial component includes a metal tray and tray keel stem extension manufactured from titanium (Ti6AL4V-ELI) alloy, a tibial tray keel cap manufactured from polyethylene (UHMWPE) and either one or two polyethylene inserts. The CS insert is a one-piece insert. The polyethylene inserts may be manufactured from either iPoly® (UHMWPE) or iPoly® XE (a Highly Cross-Linked, Vitamin-E Stabilized UHMWPE). The patellar component is provided in either a round or oval dome shape and may be manufactured from either iPoly® or iPoly® XE.
For user convenience, single-use, patient-specific ancillary orthopedic manual surgical instruments designed for use with the proposed iTotal® Identity™ CR KRS are provided to assist in the positioning of the total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding the cutting of bone. In addition, reusable orthopedic manual surgical instruments are provided separately.

§ 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)
