No
The summary describes physical knee implant components and wear testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML technologies.
Yes
The device is described as "tibial inserts, all plastic tibial components and patellar components" which are used in "total knee arthroplasty," indicating its use in replacing or repairing a part of the body to improve function or health.
No
The device is described as an implantable component for total knee arthroplasty (e.g., tibial inserts, patellar components). Its intended use is for primary or revision cemented total knee arthroplasty, and the performance studies relate to wear testing of the materials, not diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly states it includes physical components (Tibial Inserts, All Plastic Tibial Components, and Patellar Components) used in knee arthroplasty, and the performance studies involve wear testing of these physical materials.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "primary or revision cemented total knee arthroplasty." This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details components used in knee replacement surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing. The performance studies focus on wear characteristics, which are relevant to the mechanical function of an implant, not diagnostic testing.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes. This device is an implantable medical device used inside the body for structural support and function.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A block of Howmedica's Duration™ Stabilized UHMWPE showed a 30% reduction in volumetric wear versus the same block of Howmedica's conventionally gamma sterilized UHMWPE. Testing was performed in a reciprocating ring-on-block wear test for over 5 million cycles, using a circular disk, 2.83" in diameter, 1" wide, CoCr articulating counterface and bovine calf serum as a lubricant. The results of in vitro tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms.
In an independent laboratory test, a 9mm thick circular disk of Howmedica's Duration™ Stabilized UHMWPE showed a 68% reduction in volumetric wear versus the same circular disk of Howmedica's conventionally gamma sterilized UHMWPE. Testing was performed in a reciprocating pin-on-disk wear evaluation over 4 million cvcles, using a CoCr cylindrical pin with a 1" spherical end as the articulating counterface and boyine calf serum as a lubricant. The results of in vitro tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms.
In an independent laboratory test, a 9 mm thick circular disk of Howmedica's Duration™ Stabilized UHMWPE, having undergone 23 days of heating in air to simulate 7-9 years of "aging", showed a 91% reduction in volumetric wear versus the same circular disk of Howmedica's conventionally gamma sterilized UHMWPE, having undergone 23 days of heating in air to simulate 7-9 years of "aging". Testing was performed in a reciprocating pin-on-disk wear evaluations over 2.5 million cycles, using a CoCr cylindrical pin with a 1" spherical end as the articulating counterface and bovine calf serum as a lubricant. The results of in vitro tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Dichiara:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic
