More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a total knee arthroplasty system intended to replace a knee joint to address painful and disabled joints, correct deformities, and revise previous unsuccessful procedures. These actions are therapeutic as they treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

The device is a knee replacement system used in total knee arthroplasty, which is a treatment for painful and disabled knee joints. It does not diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "patellofemorotibial polymer/ metal/polymer semi-constrained prosthesis" consisting of "femoral, tibial and patella components," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace a knee joint in total knee arthroplasty for specific conditions like osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, and deformities. This is a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a prosthesis consisting of physical components (femoral, tibial, and patella) intended to be implanted in the knee joint. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Initia Knee System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The Initia Knee System Indications for Use are identical to the predicate device's. The technological characteristics are the same or similar to those of the predicate device.

The same:

  • Materials: Co-Cr-Mo (Femoral); Ti-6Al-4V (Baseplate); Highly cross-linked UHMWPE with and without vitamin E, UHMWPE GUR1020 (Inserts and Patellae)
  • Cruciate-retaining and Posterior-stabilized designs

6

  • Patellar locking mechanism
  • Cemented fixation only
  • Side-specific femoral configurations
  • . Sterilization: Gamma irradiation and Ethylene oxide
  • Performance: Baseplate fatigue; Tibial Post static fracture and fatigue; Tibial baseplate locking mechanism; Femoral/Tibial constraint; Femoral/Tibial contact area / stress; Patello/Femoral contact area / stress and subluxation; Femoral fatigue (Initia Knee only)

Similar:

  • Sizes:
    • Initia Knee has 11 femoral sizes compared to 9 for the A200 Knee predicate, and is not о offered in a narrow size.
    • Initia Knee has 10 baseplate sizes compared to 9 for the A200 Knee predicate, and is not O designed with separate left/right configurations.
    • O Initia Knee has 7 tibial insert sizes compared to 3 for the A200 Knee predicate, and does not include a PS+ insert.
    • Initia Knee has 7 patella sizes compared to 5 for the A200 Knee predicate, and has domed 3- O leg patella design only, whereas the predicate includes domed 3-leg and sombero designs.
  • Dimensions: Initia Knee components have slightly different dimensions than the predicate's, but results of testing raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Based on verification and validation test results, the minor design differences between the subject device and predicate device do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
