## Intended Use

The ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System is indicated for partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. This device is single-use implant intended for implantation with bone cement.

## Device Story

ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System is a unicondylar knee replacement implant. Components include femoral component, tibial component, and polyethylene (PE) insert. Device is single-use and requires bone cement for fixation. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis and intact ligaments. Device replaces articulating surfaces of knee joint to restore function and reduce pain associated with degenerative disease or trauma.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance characterized via constraint testing (ASTM F1223), contact area/stress analysis (ASTM F2083), fatigue testing (ASTM F3140-17), and interlocking strength testing (ASTM F2083, ASTM F1814).

## Technological Characteristics

Unicondylar knee prosthesis consisting of femoral, tibial, and PE-insert components. Materials include metal and polymer. Testing conducted per ASTM F1223 (constraint), ASTM F2083 (contact area/stress, interlocking), ASTM F1814 (interlocking), and ASTM F3140-17 (fatigue). Cemented fixation.

## 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 Dave McGurl:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. 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. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

This device is single-use implant intended for implantation with bone cement.

# Device Description:

The ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System is a unicondylar knee replacement system. It is intended for patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis and intact cruciate and collateral ligaments.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System consists of the following components:

- ACS® Uni LD Femoral Component .
- Uni FB Tibial Component ●
- Uni FB PE-Insert ●

# Substantial Equivalence:

The ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cited with respect to intended use, design, and materials.

# Performance Testing:

All recommended testing has been performed for the worst-case configuration of the ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System to assure substantial equivalence to its predicates and to demonstrate the subject devices perform as intended. All testing was performed on test units representative of finished devices. The performance of the ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System was characterized through the following tests:

- Constraint Testing (ASTM F1223)
	- o Medial-lateral and anterior-posterior displacement, rotary-laxity rotation
- Contact Area / Stress (ASTM F2083)
- Fatigue Testing Tibia (ASTM F3140-17) ●
- o Interlocking Strength (ASTM F2083, ASTM F1814)
	- O Anterior-posterior, posterior-anterior, medial-lateral-medial
- o Range of motion evaluation

## Conclusion:

The ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System possesses the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Therefore, the ACS® LD Uni FB Knee System is substantially equivalent for its intended use.
