Intended Use
The P.F.C.® Σ Uni-compartmental Knee System is indicated for use as a uni-compartmental knee replacement for patients suffering from severe pain and disability due to structural damage caused by advanced femoral-tibial uni-compartmental degenerative arthritis resulting from primary osteoarthritis or trauma. The device is also indicated for use in patients with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral or tibial condyle. The system is indicated for use only with bone cement.
Device Description
The P.F.C. ® T Uni-compartmental Knee System is a uni-compartmental knee replacement consisting of a femoral component of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, and either an allplastic tibial component of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or an alternative modular tibial component comprised of a titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium alloy tray with a modular UHMWPE insert.

No
The summary describes a mechanical knee implant and its materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties.

Yes.
The device is a knee replacement system intended to alleviate severe pain and disability caused by degenerative arthritis or osteochondritis dissecans, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device described is a uni-compartmental knee replacement system, which is a prosthetic implant used for treatment (replacement of a damaged knee joint), not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a knee replacement system consisting of physical components made of metal alloys and polyethylene, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "uni-compartmental knee replacement" for treating pain and disability due to arthritis and osteochondritis dissecans. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and components of a knee implant (femoral component, tibial component). This is consistent with a medical device implanted in the body, not an IVD.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a core characteristic of IVDs.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Knee joint," indicating it's used directly on or within the body.

Therefore, the P.F.C.® Σ Uni-compartmental Knee System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3530 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
