Intended Use
The A3 Total Knee System indications for use is: - . Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis) or rheumatoid arthritis. - Correction of functional deformities. - Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function. - Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformity. - . Knee fractures untreatable by other methods. The A3 Total Knee System is indicated for cemented use only.
Device Story
A3 Total Knee System is a posterior-stabilized total knee replacement prosthesis; intended for cemented implantation. System comprises five components: femoral condyle, tibial tray, tibial insert, patellar component, and locking mechanism. Femoral condyle and tibial tray are cast cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy; tibial insert and patellar component are ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE); locking clip is titanium. Device provides mechanical replacement of knee joint surfaces to restore function and alleviate pain in patients with degenerative or traumatic joint disease. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Output is physical joint reconstruction; clinical decision-making relies on surgeon assessment of patient anatomy and deformity. Benefits include restoration of joint configuration and improved mobility.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing included tibial tray fatigue, wear mechanical performance, constraint testing, contact pressure testing, shear fatigue testing (tibial post and patellar component), surface roughness analysis, physiological loads testing on interlocking mechanisms, and patella constraint/contact/static shear testing.
Indicated for patients with painful, disabling knee joint disease (non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis, or rheumatoid arthritis), functional deformities, post-traumatic loss of joint configuration/function, moderate valgus/varus/flexion deformity, or knee fractures untreatable by other methods. Indicated for cemented use only.
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).

{4}------------------------------------------------
# Intended Use / Indications for Use
### Intended Use:
The A3 Total Knee System device is a total knee replacement product line. The intended use is the same as the primary predicate device.
# Indications for Use:
The A3 Total Knee System indications for use is:
- . Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis) or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Correction of functional deformities.
- Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function.
- Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformity.
- . Knee fractures untreatable by other methods. The A3 Total Knee System is indicated for cemented use only.
### Technological Characteristics
The technological features implemented in the A3 Total Knee System device are similar to the predicates and no new safety or effectiveness issues are raised. The subject device has the same material technology and is similar in design, function, and application to the predicate devices.
The subject device and both predicate devices are total knee replacement systems consisting of five components:
- 1. Femoral Condyle
- 2. Tibial Tray
- 3.
ന് Tibial Insert
- 4. Patellar Component
- ട. Locking Mechanism
The subject device and both predicates have femoral condyle and tibial tray components manufactured from cast cobalt chromium molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy. The femoral components of all devices are available in both left and right configurations.
The tibial inserts of the subject device and primary predicate device are manufactured from conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), while the reference predicate is manufactured using a combination of UHMWPE and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr). The range of available sizes of the tibial trays and inserts varies for the subject and predicate devices.
The subject device and primary predicate have a patellar component manufactured from UHMWPE, while the material of construct of the patella of the reference predicate is unknown. The subject and both predicate devices have a locking mechanism, although the configurations and method of operation are slightly different. The locking clip for the subject device is manufactured from titanium, the reference predicate locking wire is manufactured from Co-Cr
{5}------------------------------------------------
and the material of the primary predicate is unknown. The subject and primary predicate devices have the same maximum degree of flexion (145°), while the maximum flexion of the reference predicate is slightly less (110°).
All devices are of a posterior stabilized design and none are cruciate ligament retaining devices. The subject and both predicates are shipped sterile.
The features and characteristics of the subject AK Medical A3 Total Knee System device are essentially the same as for the predicate devices with only minor differences that do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy, and all devices have the same intended use.
### Performance Data
The mechanical properties of the AK Medical A3 Total Knee System device were tested in accordance with applicable international standards. The performance testing conducted on the A3 total knee system are listed below.
- 1. The Tibial Tray Fatigue Testing.
- 2. The Wear Mechanical Performance Testing.
- 3. The Constraint Testing.
- 4. The Contact Pressure Testing.
- 5. The Shear Fatigue Testing of the Tibial Post.
- 6. Surface Roughness Analysis.
- 7. Physiological Loads Testing on Interlocking Mechanisms.
- 8. The Shear Fatigue Testing on the Patellar Component.
- 9. Patella Constraint Testing
- 10. Patella Contact Testing
- 11. Static Shear Testing of the Patellar Component
#### Conclusion
The A3 Total Knee System is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed total knee replacement predicate devices. The A3 Total Knee System has the same general intended use and substantially the same indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared primary predicate Biomet Vanguard Complete Knee System (K113550) and a second, reference predicate the Stryker Triathlon Posteriorly Stabilized (PS) Total Knee System (K031729). The performance testing – mechanical/bench testing – as well as the same indications for use and materials demonstrate that the A3 Total Knee System is as safe and effective as its predicate devices.
