The U2 Total Knee system is indicated in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts if the knee can be satisfactorily balanced and stabilized at the time of surgery. This device is a single use implant and intended for cemented use only.
Device Story
The U2 Total Knee System is a size extension of a previously cleared knee prosthesis. It consists of femoral components and tibial inserts (including XPE and ultracongruent options) used in total knee arthroplasty. The device is implanted by an orthopedic surgeon in a clinical setting to replace damaged joint surfaces. It functions as a semi-constrained cemented prosthesis to restore joint mechanics, reduce pain, and improve function. The device is a single-use implant. Clinical benefit is derived from the restoration of knee joint configuration and stability in patients with severe arthritis or joint deformity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical bench testing, including range of motion, contact area/pressure (femorotibial and femoropatellar), joint constraint, fatigue compression of the femoral component, locking strength of the tibial insert, fatigue performance of the tibial insert spine, and material properties of the XPE tibial insert.
Technological Characteristics
Semi-constrained cemented knee prosthesis. Materials are identical to predicate U2 system (metal/polymer). Components include femoral component, tibial insert, XPE tibial insert, and ultracongruent insert. Design is a size extension of existing cleared system. Sterilization and manufacturing methods remain unchanged.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring knee arthroplasty for pain relief or improved function due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis, pseudogout, posttraumatic joint loss, or deformities (valgus, varus, flexion). Also indicated for salvage of failed surgical attempts if knee can be balanced/stabilized. Contraindications: not specified beyond requirement for skeletal maturity and cemented use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace 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 have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Dear Fang-Yuan Ho:
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. 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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
{1}------------------------------------------------
device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
