Dear Ms. Johnson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

contains a computer and all peripheral equipment required to display the measured data by providing a graphical and numerical presentation of the loads in both the medial and lateral compartments of the knee. VERASENSE™ Knee System devices are implant system specific due to variations in implant design.
### Performance Data: N/A
### Clinical Data: N/A
### Substantial Equivalence:
The VERASENSE™ Knee System is substantially equivalent to the devices previously cleared by FDA in K131767, K130380 and K090474. This equivalency is determined because the VERASENSE™ Knee System has equivalent manufacturing materials, operating principles, and physical, operational specifications as compared to the predicate devices. The similarities and differences between the proposed and predicate devices have been identified and determined that they have no impact on safety or effectiveness.
#### Summary of Testing: N/A
Conclusion: Based on the predicate comparison, and equivalency assessment, the VERASENSE™ Knee System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
