More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant and its components, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device, a total knee component, is used to treat conditions like rheumatic arthritis and osteoarthritis, which are diseases or injuries, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device description indicates it is a component of a total knee replacement system, which is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. Its intended use is for conditions like arthritis, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components (tibial inserts) made of XLPE, which are hardware.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "Total knee component" consisting of "Tibial Inserts." These are implants designed to be surgically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the conditions for which the knee components are indicated (arthritis, failed replacements) and how they function within the knee joint. This is a description of a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided describes a medical device used for treatment (surgical implantation), not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.
