## Intended Use
Indicated for use in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: 1) noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis; 2) inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis; 3) correction of functional deformity; 4) revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and 5) treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. Unicondylar knee system is indicated for patients with unicompartmental joint disease secondary to the above indications with or without valgus, varus, or flexion deformities where all ligaments are intact. The ADVANCE® Unicondylar Knee System components are for single use only. The ADVANCE® Unicondylar Knee System components are for cemented use only.
## Device Story
ADVANCE® Less Conforming Tibial Component is a prosthetic implant for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Device consists of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Intended for cemented use in patients with intact ligaments. Surgeon selects component based on patient-specific requirements for less conforming tibial geometry. Implant replaces damaged joint surfaces to reduce pain and restore function. Device is single-use only.
## Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and material characteristics.
## Technological Characteristics
Material: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Form factor: Tibial component for unicompartmental knee system. Energy source: None (mechanical implant). Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None.
## Regulatory 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).

Dear Mr. Crabtree:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
