Yes
The device is a knee replacement system intended to treat various degenerative joint diseases, functional deformities, and fractures, which are therapeutic conditions.
No
Explanation: This device is a total knee replacement system, which is a surgically implanted prosthetic device used to replace a damaged knee joint. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of various materials (Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum, Titanium-Aluminium-Vanadium, UHMWPE, Vit-E HXLPE) that are implanted into the patient. This is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing a knee joint due to various conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, deformities, and fractures. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The device is described as a modular knee system consisting of physical components like a femoral component, meniscal insert, patella, and tibial baseplate, made from materials like Cobalt-Chromium, Titanium, and UHMWPE. These are all components designed for implantation.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any such function. It is a physical implant.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties, wear resistance, and material characteristics of the implant components, which are relevant to the performance of a surgical implant, not an IVD.
Therefore, this device is a surgical implant and not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description:
The World Knee Total Knee System is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate or all polyethylene tibia. The femoral component and meniscal inserts are available as posterior Stabilized or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. The tibial baseplate components covered in this 510(k) is made of Titanium as part of the cemented version. The patella components are available in a spherical or non-symmetrical designs.
The primary purpose of this Special 510(k) Device Modification to the World Knee System is to notify the FDA of the change in materials used to manufacture the tibial inserts (all variants (CR, PS and UC) of modular meniscal insert and all-poly tibial baseplate components) to Vitamin-E Stabilized, 100 kGy crosslinked UHMWPE (Vit-E HXLPE). This 510(k) also notifies the FDA of minor design updates to the implants and reusable instruments.
Materials: Wrought Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Alloy (ASTM F1537-11) for the femoral component, Wrought Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136-13) for the tibial baseplate components, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) for all variants of the patellar implants, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) or Vit-E HXLPE for the Allpoly tibial baseplate components and modular meniscal tibial inserts.
Indications for Use:
The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a knee replacement. Patients should have adequate bone stock and size to support and accept the prosthesis.
The patient's need for knee replacement should be due to one or more of the following conditions:
- . Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis.
- . Inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis.
- . Functional deformity such as varus, valgus or flexion deformities.
- . Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed.
- . Fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques.
Signature Orthopaedic's World Knee replacement components may be intended for cemented or cementless use. Please verify whether the particular component is intended for cemented or cementless use by checking the package label.
Intended Use:
The World Knee Total Knee System's intended use is for total knee replacement procedures in skeletally mature patients with structural joint damage. This is the same intended use as previously cleared for the World Knee Total Knee System, K190557 and K181530.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The World Knee Total Knee System described in this Special 510(k) Device Modification is fundamentally the same device as the primary predicate device cleared
5
in K190577 and K181530. The technological characteristics that remain the same for the World Knee Total Knee System are as follows:
- . Clinical Indications for Use, Intended Use and Surgical Techniques for the World Knee Variant and the World Knee Total Knee System are identical.
- . The main components of the World Knee Variant use the same materials during the manufacturing process. This includes:
- O Wrought Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Alloy (ASTM F1537-11) for the femoral component.
- o Wrought Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136-13) for the tibial baseplate components.
- o Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) for all variants of the patellar implant,
- O Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) option for Allpoly tibial baseplates and modular meniscal tibial inserts.
- . The manufacturing process of the World Knee Variant in question has the same manufacturing process as the World Knee Total Knee System. This includes cleaning and passivation, packaging, transportation and sterilisation.
- The World Knee Variant has the same geometry and fundamental design as the World Knee Total Knee System. All interconnections between components are the same.
- . All implants are provided sterile with SAL of 10t as seen in the World Knee Total Knee System.
- . The World Knee Variant has the same body contact as the World Knee Total Knee System and as such has the same contact stresses
The primary differences between the subject and primary predicate World Knee devices are as follows:
- . Vitamin-E Stabilized and 100 kGy crosslinked UHMWPE (Vit-E HXLPE) material was added as an option for manufacturing of the tibial inserts (All-poly tibial baseplate components and modular meniscal tibial insert); and
- . Updates to the reusable instruments were made to facilitate surgery and improve usability.
Performance Testing:
Engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the World Knee with Vitamin-E Poly Tibial Insert variants is equal to and/or better than the predicate device and therefore adequate for anticipated in-vivo use. The following V&V activities were conducted:
- . V&V of substantial equivalence and/or superiority of performance characteristics and material properties of the Vit-E HXLPE relative to the standard UHMWPE for the:
- o Density as per ASTM F648 and D792;
- Mechanical Properties as per ASTM F648, F2759, D695 and F2183; O
- Melting Point. Crystallinity and Enthalpy of Fusion as per ASTM F26351; O
6
- Swell Ratio and Crosslink Density as per ASTM F2214; O
- o Fatigue Crack Propagation and Coefficient as per ASTM E647;
- Oxidation Challenge as per ASTM F2003 and analysis as per ASTM F2102 O (both 2 and 6-weeks accelerated aging);
- o ESR Testing for residual free radical content and Transvinylene Index (TVI) as per ASTM F2381; and
- Resistance to wear for 5 million cycles as per ISO 14243 Part 1 and 2. O
- . Verification of substantial equivalence of the mechanical integrity of the Vit-E HXLPE tibial insert components including the baseplate locking mechanism relative to the standard UHMWPE tibial insert.
- . Risk Analysis and Design Control Review found no new or changed risks relative to the Indications for Use and Efficacy of the Subject Device.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The results of the V&V testing, associated engineering review, risk analysis and design control activities demonstrated substantial equivalence of the subject World Knee Total Knee System to the primary predicate cited herein.
