Device Description
The Natural-Knee® Tibial Baseplates involve modifications to the original Natural-Knee® Tibial Baseplates. The modifications to the tibial resurfacing and stemmed baseplates involve the addition of a centrally located screw hole for optional enhanced insert/baseplate fixation. Furthermore, changes to the configuration of the porous coating pockets and increase in overall baseplate thickness were made to the resurfacing baseplate. The Natural-Knee® Baseplates are semi-constrained in design and both the medial and lateral ligaments must be intact. The tibial baseplates are part of the present Natural-Knee® System and mate with the same Natural-Knee® tibial inserts as the existing Natural-Knee® tibial baseplates. The inferior surface of the porous-coated baseplate is coated with Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTi™). The Natural-Knee All Poly Patella is designed to articulate with the Natural-Knee® Primary and Revision femoral components. It has a circular shape and is provided in 4 sizes and thicknesses of 7 and 10mm.

No
The description focuses on mechanical modifications and materials of a knee implant, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a knee implant designed to replace part of the knee joint, which falls under the category of a medical device used for surgery.

No

The device description indicates it is a surgical implant (tibial baseplates, patella) used in total knee replacement, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details physical components (tibial baseplates, patella) made of materials like titanium, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The provided text describes a surgical implant used in knee replacement surgery. It is a physical component (tibial baseplates and patella) designed to be implanted into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of biomarkers, or diagnostic purposes.

The device described is a medical device, specifically a prosthetic implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Results of an analysis indicated that the baseplate would withstand acceptable cantilever fatigue loading conditions.
Patello-femoral contact area and lateral subluxation tests were performed. The results of these tests are comparable to competitive all poly patellas.

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION/SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

Tibial Components

The Natural-Knee® Tibial Baseplates involve modifications to the original Natural-Knee® Tibial Baseplates. The modifications to the tibial resurfacing and stemmed baseplates involve the addition of a centrally located screw hole for optional enhanced insert/baseplate fixation. Furthermore, changes to the configuration of the porous coating pockets and increase in overall baseplate thickness were made to the resurfacing baseplate. The Natural-Knee® Baseplates are semi-constrained in design and both the medial and lateral ligaments must be intact. The tibial baseplates are part of the present Natural-Knee® System and mate with the same Natural-Knee® tibial inserts as the existing Natural-Knee® tibial baseplates. The inferior surface of the porous-coated baseplate is coated with Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTi™).

The design is substantially equivalent to the tibial baseplates used in the Kirschner™ Performance™ Knee and the Biomet AGC Knee in that both of the baseplates have centrally located screw holes for tibial tray fixation. The tibial plateau is cruciate retaining as is the Howmedica P.C.A. and the Zimmer Miller-Galante Knee System.

Results of an analysis indicated that the baseplate would withstand acceptable cantilever fatigue loading conditions.

Patella

The Natural-Knee All Poly Patella is designed to articulate with the Natural-Knee® Primary and Revision femoral components. It has a circular shape and is provided in 4 sizes and thicknesses of 7 and 10mm. The design is similar to the Richards® Genesis Knee All-Poly Patellae.

Patello-femoral contact area and lateral subluxation tests were performed. The results of these tests are comparable to competitive all poly patellas.
