The summary describes a mechanical implant (tibial component) and its intended use and performance based on mechanical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No.
The device is a knee implant intended for total knee arthroplasty, which is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged knee joint, not a device used for therapeutic purposes like rehabilitation or pain management.
No
The device description clearly states it is a Porous Tibial Component, intended for use in total knee replacement surgery for conditions like severe degeneration, trauma, or pathology. Its purpose is to physically replace a part of the knee joint, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly states that the components are machined from forged titanium, indicating a physical hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant (a porous tibial component for a total knee replacement) that is intended to be surgically implanted into the knee joint to treat various conditions.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is mechanical support and replacement within the body.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Continum Knee System (CKS): Porous Tibial Component is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Continum Knee System (CKS):Porous Tibial Component is intended for use in the total kee joint where severe degenration, trauma, or pathology of the knee indicates cemented total knee arthroplasty. The CKS is indicated for:
- Total Knee Replacement in severely disabled joints as a result of degenerative a) arthritis;
- Secondary revision of a previously unsuccessful tibial component; b)
- Other knee problems where clinical experience has shown that alternative c) modes of treatment are less likely to achieve satisfactory results;
- d) Trauma, or other fractures in which adequate bony fixation cannot be obtained;
- Non-union of the proximal tibia; and e)
- f) Salvage of a failed primary or secondary total knee or uni-knee arthroplasty.

§ 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. Schalago:
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:
-
- This device may not be labeled or promoted for noncemented use... ... ..
-
- 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.
-
- Any non-cemented fixation of this device is considered investigational and may only be investigated as a significant risk device in accordance with the investigational device exemption (IDE) requlation under 21 CFR, Part 812. 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 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. ਚੋ 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. 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.
