Intended Use
The ConforMIS Unicondylar Knee Replacement System (iUni) is intended for use in one compartment of the osteoarthritic knee to replace the damaged area of the articular surface in patients with evidence of adequate healthy bone sufficient for support of the implanted components. Candidates for unicondylar knee replacement include those with: - joint impairment due to osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis of the knee, - previous femoral condyle or tibial plateau fracture, creating loss of function, - valgus or varus deformity of the knee, - revision procedures provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans. This implant is intended for cemented use only.
Device Story
Patient-specific unicompartmental knee replacement system; inputs include patient MRI or CT scans; proprietary software analyzes images to design personalized femoral and tibial implants; femoral component made of CoCrMo; tibial component all-polyethylene (UHMWPE) or metal-backed (CoCrMo tray with UHMWPE insert); system includes disposable, patient-specific instrumentation for implantation; used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons; personalized design matches patient anatomy to restore function; intended for cemented fixation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing not performed as there were no changes to the device design.
Technological Characteristics
Patient-specific design; materials: Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo) and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE); cemented fixation; includes patient-specific disposable instrumentation; design derived from proprietary software analysis of MRI/CT imaging.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with knee joint impairment due to osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, previous femoral condyle or tibial plateau fracture, or valgus/varus deformity requiring unicondylar knee replacement. Suitable for revision procedures if anatomic landmarks are identifiable on imaging. Requires adequate healthy bone for component support. Cemented use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral condylar resurfacing component or components made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and are intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

#### 510(K) SUMMARY (page 3 of 4)
Device Description
Substantial Equivalence: ConforMIS iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System ("iUni KRS") is a patient-specific unicompartmental knee replacement system. The iUni is comprised of a set of implants designed from patient images. The implant system consist of:
- 1 Femoral Implant .
- 1 Tibial Component (all-polyethylene or metal backed)
The implants of the iUni KRS will be composed of individually packaged femoral and tibial components and will be provided with ancillary instrumentation to assist in the implantation procedure.
The patient-specific femoral implant will be made of Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo) and will be personalized to match a patient's anatomy.
The all poly tibial component is made from UHMWPE. The metal backed tibial component will consist of a CoCrMo tibial tray and with an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial insert. Multiple inserts of varying thicknesses may be provided to accommodate surgeon preferences.
The outline bone contacting and articular surfaces of the femoral component as well as the outline of both tibial components are personalized to match the patient's femoral and tibial anatomy. The design of the implant is derived from an analysis, using proprietary software, of images obtained by MRI or CT scan.
Disposable, patient-specific instrumentation is provided to assist in the implantation of the iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System.
The product subject of this premarket notification is substantially equivalent to the iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System (K111916 cleared September 29, 2011, K092441 cleared September 09, 2009, K072586 cleared November 08, 2007, K072368 cleared September 20, 2007, K063432 cleared March 16, 2007, and K043570 cleared March 14, 2005); Smith & Nephew Journey Unicondylar (K102069 cleared October 05, 2010); and Zimmer Unicompartmental Knee System (K033363 cleared January 16, 2004).
The purpose of this submission is to clarify the indications for use statement and make it consistent with predicate devices and FDA guidance.

### 510(K) SUMMARY (page 4 of 4)
Description and Conclusion of Testing The determination of substantial equivalence for this device was based on the indications for use statements and the device design. The design of the iUni KRS was previously determined to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. A comparison of the designs and the indications for use statements confirmed that the modification to the indications for use does not affect device performance and is, therefore, also substantially equivalent.
#### Safety and Performance
Conclusion
The determination of substantial equivalence for this device was based on detailed device description and indications for use statement comparisons. Non-clinical laboratory testing was not performed as there is no change to the device. Clinical data is not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Based on device description and indications for use statement comparisons, it is concluded that the ConforMIS iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System with the updated indications for use statement is substantially . equivalent to the iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System (K111916 cleared September 29, 2011, K092441 cleared September 09, 2009, K072586 cleared November 08, 2007, K072368 cleared September 20, 2007, K063432 cleared March 16, 2007, and K043570 cleared March 14, 2005); Smith & Nephew Journey Unicondylar (K102069 cleared October 05, 2010); and Zimmer Unicompartmental Knee System (K033363 cleared January 16, 2004)
