Intended Use
When used with the AGC and Maxim Knee Systems, the indications for use of the Titanium Femoral Component include 1)painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatiod arthritis, or traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved, 2)failure of a previous joint replacement procedure. 3)correction of varus, valgus or post traumatic deformity, and 4)correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy or arthrodesis. Device designed for use in patients with metal sensitivity. Standard surgical and rehabilitative procedures are indicated with this device. This device is a single use implant for use with bone cement
Device Description
The femoral components of the AGC and Maxim Knee Systems are identical to their Co-Cr-Mo predecessors with the exception of the material used in manufacturing and a limited component availability. The AGC titanium component is available in primary universal components of five different sizes. The Maxim titanium component is available in five sizes of the primary universal component and five sizes of the revision universal component. The titanium components are all N ion implanted, to Biomet engineering specification 1.4, in order to reduce the wear of both the titanium femoral component and the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).

No
The summary describes a knee implant made of titanium with ion implantation for wear reduction. 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 titanium femoral component for knee replacement, indicated for treating painful and disabled knee joints resulting from various arthritic conditions and for correcting deformities, which directly addresses a health problem through intervention.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes an implantable medical device (femoral component for knee replacement), not a device used to diagnose medical conditions. Its intended use is for treatment of knee joint issues.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical implant (femoral component) made of titanium, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states this device is a "single use implant for use with bone cement." It is a physical component (a femoral component) designed to be surgically implanted into the knee joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the conditions for which the implant is used (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) and its function in replacing or correcting a damaged knee joint. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.

The device is an implantable medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

§ 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.
