## Intended Use

The Genesis Unicondylar UHMWPe Articular Inserts are indicated for restoring either compartment of a knee that has been affected by the following: - Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis: - Correction of functional deformity; - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and - Treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. The implants are single use only and are designed to be used in combination with existing Genesis Unicondylar baseplates that are intended for implantation with bone cement.

## Device Story

Genesis Unicondylar UHMWPe Articular Inserts are orthopedic implants designed to replace either the medial or lateral tibial compartment of the knee. Used in conjunction with existing Genesis Unicondylar baseplates, these inserts are secured using bone cement. The device is intended for surgical implantation by a physician to restore knee function in patients suffering from degenerative joint disease, deformity, or fractures. By providing a new articular surface, the device aims to alleviate pain and restore joint mobility. The inserts are single-use components.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

UHMWPe (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) articular inserts. Designed for use with existing Genesis Unicondylar baseplates. Non-constrained, cemented knee prosthesis. Mechanical device; no software or energy source.

## 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).

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. 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.
