Intended Use

The EIUS® Unicompartmental Knee System is intended for use in unicompartmental kncc arthroplasty. It is intended to be used for patients with moderately disabling joint discase of the knee resulting from painful osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis; revision of previous unsuccessful unicompartmental knec replacement or other procedure, or as an alternative to tibial osteotomy in patients with unicompartmental ostcoarthritis.

Device Story

Line extension to EIUS® Unicompartmental Knee System; adds tibial components (8mm, 10mm, 12mm without keel; 6mm with/without keel). Components used for resurfacing medial or lateral proximal tibia in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Device consists of metal/polymer components implanted with bone cement. Modification includes updated cement recess design and transition to polyethylene material used in Scorpio Knee System. Intended for orthopedic surgical use by physicians to treat joint disease; provides mechanical stability and joint surface replacement. Benefits include pain relief and restoration of joint function.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis. Materials: Polyethylene (same as Scorpio Knee System). Design: Tibial components with/without keel, varying thicknesses (6mm-12mm). Sensing/Energy: None (mechanical implant).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with moderately disabling joint disease of the knee due to painful osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis, patients requiring revision of unsuccessful unicompartmental knee replacement/procedure, or as an alternative to tibial osteotomy for unicompartmental osteoarthritis. Single-use, cemented implantation.

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).

Predicate Devices

• EIUS Unicompartmental Knee System (K992287)
• UNIX Unicompartmental Knee (K923011)
• Biomet Repicci Unicompartmental All Polyethylene Tibia (K980665)
• Scorpio Total Knee Tibial Insert components (K962152)

#### Predicate Device Identification

The EIUS® Unicompartmental Knee System consists of femoral components and tibial components and the Scorpio Total Knee System consists of various femoral, tibial and patcllar components. The EIUS Unicompartmental Knec System additional tibial components are equivalcul to the currently marketed EIUS tibial components with the exception of the thickness, cement recess and material. The material is equivalent to the currently marketed Scorpio Knee System tibial inscrts; whereas the coment recess without a keel is equivalent to the UNIX Unicompartmental Knee and the Biomet Repicci Unicompartmental All Polycthylene Tibia component (also available without a keel). The EIUS Unicompartmental Knee System was determined substantially equivalent under K992287, the UNIX Unicompartmental Kncc was determined substantially equivalcnt under K923011, the Biomet component was cleared under K980665, and the Scorpio Total Kncc Tibial Insert components were determined substantially equivalent under K962152.

#### Description of Device Modification

This submission is intended to address a line extension to the EUS® Unicompartmental Knee System. The linc cxtension includes additional tibial components, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm components without a keel and 6mm components with and without a keel. Also, some changes werc made to the cement recess of the tibial component to ensure adequate thickness under the femoral condyle. Finally, the material will change from the current polycthylene material to the polyethylene material used in the Scorpio Knee System. The new components will be used for resurfacing of either the medial or lateral proximal tibia.

## Intended Use:

The EIUS® Unicompartmental Knee System is intended for use in unicompartmental kncc arthroplasty. It is intended to be used for patients with moderately disabling joint discase of the knee resulting from painful osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis; revision of previous unsuccessful unicompartmental knec replacement or other procedure, or as an alternative to tibial osteotomy in patients with unicompartmental ostcoarthritis.

## Statement of Technological Comparison:

The subject components share the same intended use and basic design concept as that of the predicate devices. Mechanical testing demonstrated comparable mechanical properties to the predicate devices.
