Device Facts

• Record ID: K022437
• Device Name: UNI KNEE
• Applicant: Encore Medical L.P.
• Product Code: HRY · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Aug 23, 2002
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3530
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

Intended for partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. The device is a single use implant intended for implantation with bone cement.

Device Story

Uni Knee system components (tibial inserts and baseplates) designed for partial knee replacement; used with previously cleared femoral components (K020741). Tibial inserts feature snap-fit mechanism for baseplate attachment; baseplates provide structural support. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Device replaces articulating surfaces of knee joint affected by degenerative disease or trauma; restores joint function; reduces pain. Single-use implant; requires bone cement for fixation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material similarity to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Tibial inserts: UHMWPE (ASTM F648); 5 sizes (35-45 mm), 3 thicknesses (6-8 mm). Tibial baseplates: CoCr alloy (ASTM F75); 5 sizes (35-45 mm), 2 configurations. Features snap-fit mechanism for insert-to-baseplate attachment. Cemented fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring partial knee replacement due to compartmental primary or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity, or revision of previous arthroplasty. Intended for single use with bone cement.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Predicate Devices

• Encore Uni Knee (K020741)
• Biomet Repicci II (K971938, K980665)
• DePuy Preservation (K010810)
• Wright Advance (K012591)

#### (4) Subject device description:

The additional components that are the subject of this Special 510(k) submission are the tibial inserts and baseplates. These components are to be used with the femoral components of the Uni Knee cleared in K020741.

The tibial inserts of this submission are the similar the tibial components in K020741 with the addition of a snap feature on the non-articulating side. This snap feature is meant to be used with the tibial baseplate. The tibial inserts are manufactured from UHMWPE that conforms to ASTM F648 and are available in 5 sizes (35-45 mm) and 3 thicknesses (6-8 mm).

The tibial baseplates are manufactured from CoCr alloy that conforms to ASTM F75 and are available in 5 sizes (35-45 mm) and 2 configurations (left medial/right lateral and right medial/left lateral).

#### (5) Subject device intended use:

Intended for partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. The device is a single use implant intended for implantation with bone cement.

#### Basis for Substantial Equivalence: (6)

The Uni Knee additional components are similar in design, materials and indications to the Encore Uni Knee cleared in K020741.
