## Intended Use

The Competitor Unicondylar Tibial Baseplate Components are indicated for restoring either compartment of a knee that has been affected by the following: - Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or . avascular necrosis; - . correction of functional deformity; - 트 revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and - treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques The baseplate components are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.

## Device Story

Metal-backed tibial baseplate components for unicondylar knee arthroplasty; designed for use with specific articular inserts. Implantation performed by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting. Device functions as a mechanical prosthesis to restore knee joint function in patients with degenerative joint disease or fractures. Intended for cemented fixation only. Benefits include restoration of joint mobility and reduction of pain associated with knee pathology.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and material similarities to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Metal-backed tibial baseplate components. Materials and design are based on the predicate Genesis Unicompartmental Knee System (K912735). Intended for cemented fixation. Single-use device.

## Regulatory 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

- Smith & Nephew Genesis Unicompartmental Knee System ([K912735](/device/K912735.md))

## Reference Devices

- Smith & Nephew Unicondylar Femoral Component ([K030301](/device/K030301.md))

Dear Mr. Rouss:

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, Dr u 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, incl. Ast. A 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.
