Intended Use
The specific intended use of the St. Leger total knee implant is for patients suffering from pain and/or deformity of the knee joint. The pathological conditions include, but are not parted to severe degenerative arthritis, traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The symptomatic problems include pain, decreased ambulation, inability to work, perform activities of daily living. The resulting physical deformities include loss of knee extension, knee flexion, genu valgum and genu varus. The implant may be used in revision knee surgery due to loosening, infection, or prior implant failure if the proper accompanying conditions are present and the surgeon is able to make the necessary anatomical conditions for acceptable alignment and fixation.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a total knee implant and its intended use for treating various forms of arthritis and deformities. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses solely on the physical implant and its application in surgical procedures.

Yes
The device is a total knee implant, which is used to alleviate pain and deformity, and improve ambulation and daily activities in patients with various forms of arthritis affecting the knee joint. These are therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is a total knee implant, which is used to treat existing conditions rather than to diagnose them. Its intended use focuses on alleviating symptoms and correcting deformities.

No

The intended use clearly describes a physical implant (total knee implant) used in surgery, which is a hardware device. There is no mention of software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical implant for treating pain and deformity of the knee joint caused by various forms of arthritis and for revision surgery. This is a therapeutic device implanted directly into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any testing of samples or diagnostic procedures.
  • Device Type: The description clearly identifies it as a "total knee implant," which is a type of prosthetic device.

Therefore, the St. Leger total knee implant is a surgical implant, 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.

Dear Dr. Johnson:

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 You may, therefore, market your device subject to cement . " the general controls provisions of the Act and the following limitations:

  • The thinnest tibial insert available is the nominal "7mm" 1. sized insert, which has a minimum polyethylene thickness under the condyles of 7.00mm.
  • This device may not be labeled or promoted for non-2. cemented use.
  • All labeling for this device, including package label 3. and labeling included within the package, must prominently state that the device is intended for cemented use only.
  • Any non-cemented fixation of this device is considered 4 . 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 noncemented fixation must receive approval from their
