No
The summary describes a knee prosthesis and its components, focusing on materials, design, and surgical techniques. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is a total knee arthroplasty system, which is a prosthetic used to replace a diseased or damaged knee joint, thereby treating a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a knee prosthesis designed for total knee arthroplasty, which is a treatment for painful and/or disabled joints. It is an implantable device used to replace parts of the knee joint, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device is described as sterile implantable components (femoral and tibial) made of metallic alloys and UHMWPE, clearly indicating it is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing parts of the knee joint in cases of arthritis, trauma, etc. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details the components of a knee prosthesis (femoral and tibial components), their materials, and how they are implanted. This aligns with a surgical implant.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the Evolis/GMK knee prosthesis is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Evolis/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 or polyarthritis.
- Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle.
- · Post traumatic loss of joint configuration.
- · Primary implantation failure.
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.
GMK Sphere/Spherika 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, rheumatoid arthritis.
- · Collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle.
- · Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities.

§ 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.

Regarding the utilization of the GMK Sphere E-Cross tibial insert FLEX, already cleared (K202022) in case of retention of an efficient posterior cruciate ligament in Kinematic Alignment configuration there are no differences in the fundamental scientific technology. This is an additional surgical technique for use with the GMK Sphere E-cross tibial insert FLEX.
VII. Performance Data
A review of the mechanical data on the subject and predicate devices indicates that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to devices currently cleared for use and does not alter the intended surgical outcomes. The purpose of this submission is to introduce a line extension of the already cleared GMK-SPHERE system already cleared. The new devices design introduction was evaluated by risk analysis to identify any new risks associated. Based on the risk analysis, additional tests have been performed in order to demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the identified 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:
