Intended Use

The Profix Total Knee System is indicated for: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity levels are compatible with an adequate long-term result. 3. Failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement. 4. The posterior stabilized knee system is designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact. The Profix Total knee system includes porous coated devices which are indicated for use without bone cement, and are single use devices.

Device Story

Profix Total Knee System is a metal/polymer knee prosthesis for total knee arthroplasty. Device components replace damaged joint surfaces in patients with degenerative or inflammatory knee conditions. System includes porous-coated variants allowing for cementless fixation. Used by orthopedic surgeons in hospital operating rooms during primary or revision knee replacement procedures. Provides mechanical stability and joint articulation to restore function and reduce pain. Clinical benefit derived from restoring joint mobility and structural integrity in patients with severe arthritis or failed previous joint interventions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Metal/polymer knee joint prosthesis; porous-coated for cementless fixation; single-use; mechanical articulation; materials consistent with previously cleared Profix components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis requiring total knee replacement, including failed prior surgeries (osteotomies, unicompartmental, or total knee). Posterior stabilized version indicated for primary/revision surgery with incompetent cruciate ligaments and intact collateral ligaments.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.

### DEVICE INFORMATION:

#### INTENDED USE: A.

The Profix Total Knee System is indicated for:

- 1. Rheumatoid arthritis.
- 2. Post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity levels are compatible with an adequate long-term result.
- 3. Failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement.
- The posterior stabilized knee system is designed for use in patients in primary and 4. revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact.

The Profix Total knee system includes porous coated devices which are indicated for use without bone cement, and are single use devices.

#### B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The overall design, components, and materials of the Profix Total Knee System are substantially equivalent to the existing components of the Profix Total Knee System cleared under previous premarket notifications. The main difference between the subject components of the Profix Total Knee System, and the currently marketed components is the intended use of the system without bone cement.

#### C. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE INFORMATION:

Smith & Nephew, Inc. concludes that the Profix Total Knee System is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed knee prosthesis filed with the following premarket notifications: Profix Total Knee System (K933958), Profix Posterior-Stabilized Knee System (K954909), Profix Knee Posterior-Stabilized Plus Tibial Insert (K963255). Tricon Knee System (K884824), and Freeman-Samuelson Mark II Press-Fit Total Knee Replacement (K853730)

#### D. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON:

The intended use, designs, and materials of the Profix Total Knee System are substantially equivalent to the predicate components found in the original Profix System submissions previously cleared by FDA.
