Intended Use
Partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to compartmental primary degenerative or posttraumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. The devices covered by this 510(k) are intended to be used with a Repicci Femoral component. The device is a single use implant intended for implantation with bone cement.
Device Description
The Repicci II Unicondylar Knee system consists of a femoral and tibial component. The femoral components have been cleared through a previous 510(k) as have thicker sizes of the all poly tibial component. The all polvethylene tibial component is universal in geometry so separate components are not necessary for left and right knees. A waffle pattern and recessed holes on the under surface assists in fixation with bone cement. Due to the radiolucency of polyethylene, a wire is molded within the component.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a knee implant and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as an implant used for partial replacement of knee articulating surfaces due to degenerative or posttraumatic disease, which addresses and treats a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device described is an implantable knee component intended for surgical replacement of articulating surfaces, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components (femoral and tibial components made of polyethylene) intended for surgical implantation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for the surgical replacement of knee joint surfaces. This is an in vivo procedure (performed within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an implant intended for implantation with bone cement. This further confirms its use within the body.
  • 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 treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is an orthopedic implant used inside the body.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Beres:

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:

  • The thinnest tibial component available is the nominal 1. "6.5mm" sized component, which has a minimum polyethylene thickness of 6.5mm
    1. This device may not be labeled or promoted for noncemented 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.

All users of the device for noncemented fixation must receive approval from their respective institutional review boards (IRBs) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct the investiqation.
    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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ದ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register.
