No
The description focuses on the material properties, manufacturing process, and physical characteristics of a knee implant component. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a tibial insert used in total knee arthroplasty, which is a medical procedure to treat a condition (e.g., severe arthritis) and improve function, thus fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description indicates that the device is a tibial insert, which is a component of a total knee arthroplasty, and its purpose is structural (to provide joint articulation), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implant (tibial inserts made of UHMWPE) used in knee surgery, not a software-only product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "primary or revision cemented total knee arthroplasty." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body), not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) designed to be inserted into the knee joint. This is consistent with a medical device used for surgical implantation, not an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "knee," which is a part of the human body where a surgical implant would be placed.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, this device is a surgical implant used in knee replacement surgery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Duration® II Duracon® Tibial Inserts - Ethylene Oxide Sterilization

The purpose of this submission is to describe an additional style of Duracon® Condylar and A-P lipped tibial inserts which are stabilized/sterilized using a process called and A-1 "Ilpped tible incorro the Duration® II process is to crosslink all of the free radicals found in the UHMWPE rod stock by exposure to gamma radiation this froo radio lound lount in a heated oven. During this radiation/stabilization period, the UHMWPE is exposed to a very low oxygen concentration. The stabilized periou, the United to its final configuration. The tibial insert is packaged in air, and terminally sterilized by the ethylene oxide sterilization process. The Duracon® and terminally ottomized by this method conform to the requirements for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene specified in ASTM Specification F-648, for Okla Figh Molocation on UHMWPE used in Bearing Surfaces for Orthopedic Devices.

The intended use of this additional style of Duracon® Condylar and A-P lipped tibial inserts is identical to that of previously released Duracon® tibial inserts: they are intended to be used with Duracon® femoral and patellar components, and tibial baseplates in primary or revision cemented total knee arthroplasty.

These Duracon® Condylar and A-P lipped inserts are identical to those previously released. They are available in peripheral sizes extra-small through extra-large in thicknesses from 6mm to 25mm. These inserts have a three point locking in thisklesson from on on on one Duracon® inserts which have been previously released.

These inserts are substantially equivalent to the other Duracon® Condylar and A-P lipped tibial Inserts which are already in distribution by Howmedica.

Testing was performed in accordance with the draft FDA guidance on UHMWPE.

The following marketing claims will be made for the product:

  • Duration® II products meet all ASTM F 648 specified standards. 1.
  • Duration® II products have no detectable oxidation as measured by FTIR up to 2. 30 days of accelerated aging at 80° C in air.
  • Duration® II products have a higher gel content (cross-linking) than air irradiated న. UHMWPE measured in accordance with modified ASTM D2765-90 standard.

  • Duration® II has a lower tensile modulus than air irradiated UHMVE. This 4. Duranone if had a lower tonelle would increase in contact area and a decrease in contact stress.

  • No free radicals are detected in the Duration® II material when analyzed by ട്. the ESR technique of the final product.

Dear Ms. Crowe:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notifications of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined these devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosures) 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A 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 Failure to Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions.
