Intended Use
The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is indicated for use in: - 1. Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or degenerative arthritis. - 2. Failed osteotomy or unicompartmental replacements - 3. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press-fit knee components when sufficient bone stock exists.
Device Description
The Consensus® Knee PCL Substituting Tibial Insert component is manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (ASTM F648). It is an asymmetric cruciate-retaining tibial component and is designed to articulate with the Consensus® Knee primary femoral component. Therefore, it has articulating surface geometry similar to the Consensus® Knee congruent tibial insert component. The inferior surface of each component employs dovetail grooves for positive interlocking with the tibial baseplate. The design is available in three sizes and each size is available in five thicknesses. The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert will be provided sterile.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device (tibial insert) made of polyethylene with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing, which are typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes
The device is a PCL substituting tibial insert, used for primary intervention of various forms of arthritis and replacement of unsatisfactory knee components. It is a medical implant designed to treat a medical condition.

No
The device described is a Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert, which is a medical implant used in knee replacement surgery. Its purpose is to substitute a part of the knee joint, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical component manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, designed to be implanted in the knee. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed within the knee joint. It does not analyze or test any biological samples.
  • The intended use is for surgical intervention and replacement of knee components. This is a therapeutic and structural device, not a diagnostic one.
  • The device description focuses on materials and design for articulation within the knee. This is consistent with a surgical implant.

The information provided clearly describes a medical device intended for surgical implantation to treat knee conditions, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
