Intended Use
The Total Knee Femoral Components are indicated for rheumatoid arthritis; posttraumatic arthritis; degenerative arthritis; failed osteotomies; hemiarthroplasties, unicompartmental replacement; or total knee arthroplasties. The Total Knee Femoral Components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.
Device Story
Total Knee Femoral Components are metal alloy orthopedic implants processed via proprietary oxidation; designed for use with Genesis II or Profix Total Knee System tibial and patellar components. Intended for cemented implantation in patients requiring knee arthroplasty. Device provides structural replacement for damaged knee joint surfaces. Marketing claims include 85% reduction in aggregate wear rate compared to cobalt chrome components, based on multi-axial knee joint simulator testing. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for total knee replacement procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Multi-axial knee joint simulator testing performed for a minimum of 6 million cycles using size 5 Genesis II femoral components and UHMWPE tibial inserts. Results demonstrated an 85% reduction in aggregate wear rate compared to cobalt chrome femoral components (0.69 ± 0.52 mm³/million cycles vs. 4.68 ± 2.30 mm³/million cycles). Note: In vitro test results have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms.
Technological Characteristics
Metal alloy femoral components processed via proprietary oxidation. Designed for cemented fixation. Compatible with Genesis II and Profix system components. Single-use device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic arthritis, degenerative arthritis, failed osteotomies, hemiarthroplasties, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee arthroplasties requiring cemented knee joint replacement.
Regulatory Classification
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).

#### Contact Person and Address
Kim Kelly Project Manager, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs Smith & Nephew, Inc. Orthopaedic Division 1450 East Brooks Road Memphis, TN 38116 (901) 399-6566
#### Device Description
The Total Knee Femoral Components are designed for use with tibial and patellar components of the Genesis II or Profix Total Knee Systems. The Total Knee Femoral Components are metal alloy devices processed via a proprietary oxidation process.
#### Device Classification Name
21 CFR 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained cemented prosthesis - Class II
#### Indications for Use
The Total Knee Femoral Components are indicated for rheumatoid arthritis; posttraumatic arthritis; degenerative arthritis; failed osteotomies; hemiarthroplasties, unicompartmental replacement; or total knee arthroplasties. The Total Knee Femoral Components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.
#### Mechanical and Clinical Data
A review of the mechanical test data indicated that the Total Knee Femoral Components are equivalent to devices currently used clinically and are capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
#### Wear Claims
The following marketing claim will be made for the Total Knee Femoral Components:
- " {Total Knee Femoral Components} offer an 85% reduction in aggregate wear rate as compared to cobalt chrome (CoCr) femoral components (0.69 + 0.52 mm3/million cycles vs. 4.68 ± 2.30 mm /million cycles). Testing was performed in a multi-axial knee joint simulator for a minimum of 6 million cycles per individual test using size 5 Genesis II femoral components as an articulating counterface, size 5 Genesis II UHMWPE tibial inserts, and Hyclone bovine calf serum as a lubricant. UHMWPE tibial inserts were sterilized via ethylene oxide. For each test condition the aggregate wear rates were computed as the slope of the line fit through the averaged data (n=3) after the initial

wear-in period of 1.94 million cycles (1.e., 1.94 -- 6.13 million cycles). The results of invitro tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms."
## Substantial Equivalence Information
The substantial equivalence of the Total Knee Femoral Components is substantiated by its similarities in design features, overall indications, and material composition as existing components of the Genesis II and Profix Total Knee Systems distributed by Smith & Nephew, Inc.
