No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical knee replacement system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is a prosthetic knee system intended to replace the natural knee joint to alleviate severe pain and disability caused by various forms of arthritis, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a "prosthetic device intended to replace the natural knee joint," indicating it is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly lists physical components (Femoral components, Tibial inserts, Femoral augmentation pieces, Tibial Wedges) made of materials like UHMWPE, Titanium, and Co-Cr-Mo alloy, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a prosthetic device to replace a damaged knee joint. This is a surgical implant, not a test performed on biological samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a knee implant (femoral components, tibial inserts, etc.) made of materials like UHMWPE, Titanium, and Co-Cr-Mo alloy. These are materials used for implants, not for diagnostic reagents or instruments.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a physical implant for surgical replacement.

§ 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. Ferros:

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). This decision is based on this device being equivalent only to similar devices labeled and intended to be fixed within bone with acrylic "bone cement." You may, therefore, market your device subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the following limitations:

    1. This device may not be labeled or promoted for non-cemented use.
    1. All labeling for this device, including package label and labeling included within the package, must prominently state that the device is intended for cemented use only.

Page 2 - Mr. John D. Ferros

  • Any non-cemented fixation of this device is 3. considered investigational and may only be investigated as a significant risk device in accordance with the investigational device exemption (IDE) regulation under 21 CFR, Part 812. All users of the device for non-cemented fixation must receive approval from their respective institutional review boards (IRBs) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct the investigation.
    The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, 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. ਸ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification immediately. An FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market.
