Non-active surgical implants - Joint replacement implants - Specific requirements for knee-joint replacement implants (ISO 21536:2023)
This document specifies requirements for knee-joint replacement implants. Regarding safety, this document specifies requirements for intended performance, design attributes, materials, design evaluation, manufacture, sterilization, packaging, information supplied by the manufacturer and methods of test.
This document applies to both total and partial knee joint replacement implants. It applies to these replacements both with and without the replacement of the patella-femoral joint. It applies to components made of metallic and non-metallic materials.
This document applies to a wide variety of knee replacement implants, but for some specific knee replacement implant types, some considerations, not specifically covered in this document, can be applicable. Further details are given in 7.2.1.2.
The requirements which are specified in this document are not intended to require the re-design or re-testing of implants which have been legally marketed and for which there is a history of sufficient and safe clinical use. For such implants, compliance with this document can be demonstrated by providing evidence of the implant’s sufficient and safe clinical use.
Nichtaktive chirurgische Implantate - Implantate zum Gelenkersatz - Spezielle Anforderungen an Implantate für den Kniegelenkersatz (ISO 21536:2023)
Dieses Dokument legt besondere Anforderungen an Implantate für den Kniegelenksersatz fest. Unter Berück-sichtigung der Sicherheit legt dieses Dokument Anforderungen an vorgesehene Funktion, Konstruktions-merkmale, Werkstoffe, Designprüfung, Herstellung, Sterilisierung, Verpackung, Bereitstellung von Informa-tionen durch den Hersteller und für Prüfverfahren fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt sowohl für totale als auch für partielle Kniegelenkersatzimplantate. Es gilt für diese Prothesen sowohl mit als auch ohne Ersatz des patellafemoralen Gelenks. Es gilt für Komponenten aus metallischen und nichtmetallischen Werkstoffen.
Dieses Dokument gilt für eine Vielzahl von Kniegelenkersatzimplantaten. Auf einige spezifische Typen von Kniegelenkersatzimplantaten können jedoch bestimmte Überlegungen zutreffen, die in diesem Dokument nicht spezifisch abgedeckt sind. Weitere Einzelheiten sind in 7.2.1.1 angegeben.
Hinter den in diesem Dokument festgelegten Anforderungen steht nicht die Absicht, eine Neukonstruktion oder erneute Prüfung von Produkten zu verlangen, die rechtmäßig in Verkehr gebracht wurden und die über eine Vorgeschichte der ausreichenden und sicheren klinischen Anwendung verfügen. Die Übereinstimmung solcher Produkte mit diesem Dokument muss durch den Nachweis ihrer ausreichenden und sicheren klini-schen Anwendung belegt werden.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European standard and the General Safety
and Performance Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 aimed to
be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request
“M/575” to provide one voluntary means of conforming to the General Safety and Performance
Requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of 5 April 2017 concerning medical devices [OJ L 117].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Regulation,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 and application of the
edition of the normatively referenced standards as given in Table ZA.2 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding General Safety and
Performance Requirements of that Regulation, and associated EFTA regulations.
Where a definition in this standard differs from a definition of the same term set out in Regulation
(EU) 2017/745, the differences shall be indicated in this Annex Z. For the purpose of using this
standard in support of the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/745, the definitions set
out in this Regulation prevail.
Where the European standard is an adoption of an International Standard, the scope of this
standard can differ from the scope of the European Regulation that it supports. As the scope of the
applicable regulatory requirements differ from nation to nation and region to region, the standard
can only support European regulatory requirements to the extent of the scope of the European
regulation for medical devices (EU) 2017/745).
For application of this European standard under Regulation (EU) 2017/745,
1 it is clarified that the third paragraph of the scope and the related subclause 7.2.1.2 are solely intended
to point out that additional testing not specified in this document can be required to ensure the safety
and efficacy of implants for which failure modes exist which were unknown at the time of drafting of
this document;
2 it is clarified that the fourth paragraph of the scope and related language in the first paragraphs of
Clauses 4, 5, 6 and 7 are intended to avoid unnecessary re-design or re-testing of implants which are
currently legally marketed in the European Union;
3 it is recognized that the normatively referenced ISO 7207-2:2011+Amd 1:2016+Amd 2:2020 itself
includes a reference to the withdrawn ISO 4288:1996 which has been replaced by ISO 21920-3:2021
and for application of this European standard under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 ISO 21920-3:2021 shall
be used instead of ISO 4288:1996;
4 it is recognized that the normatively referenced ISO 10993-1 includes a dated reference to ISO
14971:2007 which is outdated and for application of this European standard under Regulation (EU)
2017/745 the most recent European version EN ISO 14971:2019 + A11:2021 shall be used;
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the risk
management process needs to be in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745. This means that risks have to be
‘reduced as far as possible’, ‘reduced to the lowest possible level’, ‘reduced as far as possible and appropriate’,
‘removed or reduced as far as possible’, ‘eliminated or reduced as far as possible’, ’removed or minimized as far as
possible’, or ‘minimized’, according to the wording of the corresponding General Safety and Performance
Requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk must be in compliance with General Safety
and Performance Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 of the Regulation.
NOTE 3 When a General Safety and Performance Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is
not addressed by this European Standard.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European standard and Annex I of Regulation (EU)
2017/745 [OJ L 117] and to system or process requirements including those relating to quality
management systems, risk management, post-market surveillance systems, clinical investigations,
