No
The summary describes a prosthetic knee joint and its components, focusing on materials, intended use, and mechanical performance testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is a prosthetic knee system intended to replace a damaged natural knee joint, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition (severe pain and disability due to permanent structural damage).

No
The device description clearly states it is a "prosthetic device intended to replace the natural knee joint," which is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like UHMWPE, Titanium, and Co-Cr-Mo alloy, indicating it is a hardware-based prosthetic device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a prosthetic knee system for patients suffering from severe pain and disability due to knee joint damage. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the components of a prosthetic knee joint (femoral component, tibial inserts, patellae, etc.) made of materials like UHMWPE, Titanium, and Co-Cr-Mo alloy. These are materials used for implants, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does none of that.

This device is a Class III medical device (based on the description of it being a prosthetic implant) intended for surgical implantation to replace a damaged knee joint.

§ 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.
