The device is a knee system intended to be implanted to address conditions like destruction of joint surfaces, instability, or failed prostheses, all of which aim to treat a medical condition.
No
This document describes a joint replacement system (knee system components), not a device used to provide a medical diagnosis. The "Intended Use" section clearly lists conditions for which the device is intended to be implanted, such as "destruction of the joint surfaces" or "revision is required of a failed prosthesis," which indicate treatment rather than diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like a stemmed femoral component, stemmed tibial bearing component, bushings, axle, bumper, tibial insert, tibial baseplate, augments, stabilizer pin, and filler bushing. The testing performed also focuses on physical properties and performance of these hardware 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 the device as a knee implant system used for surgical procedures to replace or revise knee joints due to various conditions like joint destruction, ligament instability, or failed prostheses. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details the components of a knee prosthesis (femoral component, tibial bearing component, inserts, bushings, axle, etc.) designed to be implanted in the body.
- No Mention of In Vitro Testing: The text does not mention any use of the device for testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
- Non-Clinical Testing: The non-clinical testing described focuses on the mechanical properties, wear, fatigue, biocompatibility, and MR compatibility of the implant components, which are relevant to an implantable device, not an IVD.
In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is a surgical implant used to treat a condition directly within the body.

Device Description
The previously cleared Triathlon® Hinge Knee (THK) System (K223528) is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component connected by a set of Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) bushings and MRH axle (K222056, K002552, K994207). A bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushing combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between bearing surfaces on the underside of a tibial bearing component and a hinge tibial insert provide motion in the rotating plane. A hinge tibial insert is assembled to a revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a Triathlon® tibial sleeve or an MRH tibial sleeve. Optional distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defect. The Instructions for Use and package labels for the THK components are being updated to bear the MR Conditional symbol and MR Conditional parameters.
The subject Triathlon® Bushing and Axle (Standard Assembly Pack) contains sterile, singleuse devices that are being added to the previously cleared THK System (K223528) as an alternate option to MRH bushings and MRH axle to connect a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component and provide motion through the flexion/extension plane.

§ 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.

Device Description:
The previously cleared Triathlon® Hinge Knee (THK) System (K223528) is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component connected by a set of Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) bushings and MRH axle (K222056, K002552, K994207). A bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushing combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between bearing surfaces on the underside of a tibial bearing component and a hinge tibial insert provide motion in the rotating plane. A hinge tibial insert is assembled to a revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a Triathlon® tibial sleeve or an MRH tibial sleeve. Optional distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defect. The Instructions for Use and package labels for the THK components are being updated to bear the MR Conditional symbol and MR Conditional parameters.
The subject Triathlon® Bushing and Axle (Standard Assembly Pack) contains sterile, singleuse devices that are being added to the previously cleared THK System (K223528) as an alternate option to MRH bushings and MRH axle to connect a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component and provide motion through the flexion/extension plane.
6
This premarket notification also introduces the subject Triathlon® Revision Insert X3®, which is a sterile, single-use device that is intended for use in a total knee arthroplasty with the previously cleared Triathlon® Revision Tibial Baseplate (K223528) and Triathlon® TS Femoral Component (K172326, K141056, K070095) as part of the Triathlon® Total Knee System. The subject insert is available in seven sizes, and each size is available in seven different thicknesses. The subject insert is packaged together with Cobalt-Chrome (CoCr) stabilizer pin and filler bushing subcomponents that are assembled intraoperatively. The subject insert is assembled to the previously cleared Triathlon® Revision Baseplate (K223528), which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept the filler bushing subcomponent. The stabilizer pin is inserted through the subject Triathlon® Revision Insert X3® and extends into filler bushing assembled within the Triathlon® Revision Tibial Baseplate to provide additional stability in the insert post.
Intended Use:
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.
The Triathlon® Revision Insert X3® component is a sterile, single use device intended for use in total knee arthroplasty with the Triathlon® TS Femoral component (K172326, K141056, K070095) and the Triathlon® Revision Tibial Baseplate (K223528) as part of the Triathlon® Total Knee System.
