The summary describes a mechanical knee implant system and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any form of AI/ML technology.
Yes
The device is a knee system designed to replace damaged joint surfaces and ligaments, which are actions intended to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Rotating Hinge Knee System" and a "tricompartmental knee system" intended for implantation to replace joint surfaces and stabilize the knee. Its components are "single-use devices intended for cemented use only." This indicates it is a prosthetic device for treatment, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components made of materials like UHMWPE, designed for surgical implantation. The performance studies also focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of these 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 a surgical implant for replacing a damaged knee joint. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details the components of a knee prosthesis (femoral component, tibial bearing, baseplate, etc.) designed for surgical implantation.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.), or provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a physical implant used to restore function to a damaged joint.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
This Rotating Hinge Knee System is intended to be implanted with bone cement for the following condition(s):
- · There is destruction of the joint surfaces, with or without significant bone deformity.
- · The cruciate and/or collateral ligaments do not stabilize the knee joint.
- · The ligaments are inadequate and/or the musculature is weak. And/or
- · Revision is required of a failed prosthesis where there has been gross instability, with or without bone loss or madequate soft tissue.
- · And/or where segmental resection and replacement of the distal femur is required.
The component of the subject THK System have the same intended use as those specified in the 510(k) submissions for the components of the predicate devices listed. The THK System components are sterile, single-use devices intended for cemented use in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty. The THK System is intended to be used for the treatment of a severely unstable knee, particularly with the loss of collateral support in both primary and revision cases. The THK System can also be incorporated into implants for distal femoral and total femoral replacements performed for the treatment of bone tumors. It is a partially constrained prosthesis with limited rotational capability, which allows more natural motion and reduces torque on the fixation.

Device Description
The subject THK System is a line extension to the existing Triathlon® Knee System and will be a modified version of the predicate Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee System and Triathlon® Total Knee System. The THK System is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a new hinge femoral component and a new tibial bearing component connected by a set of previously cleared MRH bushings and an MRH axle (K994207, K002552). A new bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushings combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between the bearing surfaces on the underside of the new tibial bearing component and a new hinge tibial insert provides motion in the rotating plane. The hinge tibial insert is assembled to a new revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a new tibial sleeve or previously cleared MRH tibial sleeve (K994207, K002552). Optional new distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defects.
The THK System is designed to provide varus/valgus stability throughout the range of motion, internal/external rotation about the tibial axis, constraint by the bearing surface radius on the tibial bearing component, and an extensive range of size, modularity, and resection options. The subject THK System consists of:
- Hinge Femoral Components in six sizes and in left and right configurations o
- Revision Tibial Baseplates in seven sizes O
- Hinge Inserts in seven sizes and five thicknesses each hinge insert is packaged with a O standard sleeve subcomponent
- Tibial Bearing Components in three sizes O
- Bumper inserts in neutral and three degree flexion options O
- Revision Tibial Augments in eight sizes, two thicknesses and in right medial/left lateral and O right lateral/left medial options
- o Femoral Distal Augments in six sizes and two thicknesses.
The components of the subject THK System are sterile, single-use devices intended for cemented use only. They can be used with previously cleared Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee components (K994207, K002552), the Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS) (K023087), and Triathlon® Knee System components (K172634, K172326, K190991, K143396, K141056.

§ 888.3510 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.

Reason for 510(k) Submission:
The purpose of this submission is to introduce a line extension to the Triathlon® Total Knee System, specifically a new Triathlon® Hinge Knee (THK) System.
Device Description:
The subject THK System is a line extension to the existing Triathlon® Knee System and will be a modified version of the predicate Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee System and Triathlon® Total Knee System. The THK System is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a new hinge femoral component and a new tibial bearing component connected by a set of previously cleared MRH bushings and an MRH axle (K994207, K002552). A new bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushings combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between the bearing surfaces on the underside of the new tibial bearing component and a new hinge tibial insert provides motion in the rotating plane. The hinge tibial insert is assembled to a new revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a new tibial sleeve or previously cleared MRH tibial sleeve (K994207, K002552). Optional new distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defects.
The THK System is designed to provide varus/valgus stability throughout the range of motion, internal/external rotation about the tibial axis, constraint by the bearing surface radius on the tibial bearing component, and an extensive range of size, modularity, and resection options. The subject THK System consists of:
- Hinge Femoral Components in six sizes and in left and right configurations o
- Revision Tibial Baseplates in seven sizes O
- Hinge Inserts in seven sizes and five thicknesses each hinge insert is packaged with a O standard sleeve subcomponent
5
- Tibial Bearing Components in three sizes O
- Bumper inserts in neutral and three degree flexion options O
- Revision Tibial Augments in eight sizes, two thicknesses and in right medial/left lateral and O right lateral/left medial options
- o Femoral Distal Augments in six sizes and two thicknesses.
The components of the subject THK System are sterile, single-use devices intended for cemented use only. They can be used with previously cleared Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee components (K994207, K002552), the Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS) (K023087), and Triathlon® Knee System components (K172634, K172326, K190991, K143396, K141056. K132624. K070095. K061521. K053514. K052917. K051948. K051146. K040267).
Intended Use:
The component of the subject THK System have the same intended use as those specified in the 510(k) submissions for the components of the predicate devices listed. The THK System components are sterile, single-use devices intended for cemented use in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty. The THK System is intended to be used for the treatment of a severely unstable knee, particularly with the loss of collateral support in both primary and revision cases. The THK System can also be incorporated into implants for distal femoral and total femoral replacements performed for the treatment of bone tumors. It is a partially constrained prosthesis with limited rotational capability, which allows more natural motion and reduces torque on the fixation.
Indications:
This Rotating Hinge Knee System is intended to be implanted with bone cement for the following condition(s):
- There is destruction of the joint surfaces, with or without significant bone deformity. ●
- The cruciate and/or collateral ligaments do not stabilize the knee joint. ●
- The ligaments are inadequate and/or the musculature is weak. And/or
- Revision is required of a failed prosthesis where there has been gross instability, with or ● without bone loss or inadequate soft tissue.
- And/or where segmental resection and replacement of the distal femur is required. ●
Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The device comparisons and performance testing show that the components of the subject THK System are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate MRH Knee and Triathlon® Total Knee System based on intended use, indications for use, design, materials and sterilization method, performance characteristics, and operational principles.
