## Intended Use

The Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Universal Dome and Recessed Patellar Components are intended to articulate with any commercially available Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Femoral Component, any commercially available Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Femoral Component, and any commercially available Osteonics® Omnifit® Total Knee Fernoral Component. The subject patellar components are single use devices, intended for cemented application onto the surgically prepared posterior patella. These components replace the patellar articulating surface of the knee joint and simulate the natural function of the knee.

## Device Story

Patellar prosthetic components fabricated from UHMWPE; circular dome or recessed button configuration with three fixation pegs on anterior surface; features circular grooves/pockets for cement interdigitation. Used in total knee arthroplasty; implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Device replaces patellar articulating surface; articulates with specific Osteonics femoral components. Cemented fixation required. Benefits include restoration of knee joint function and pain relief for patients with degenerative or post-traumatic joint disease.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Design: Circular dome or recessed button with three fixation pegs; circular grooves/pockets for cement interdigitation. Thickness: 8mm and 10mm. Fixation: Cemented only. Connectivity: None (mechanical implant).

## Regulatory 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).

## Predicate Devices

- Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee All-Polyethylene Patellar Components
- Johnson and Johnson® P.F.C.® Cruciate Sacrificing Patellar Component

#### Predicate Device Identification

The Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Universal Dome and Recessed Patellar Components are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed, Class II, patellar components, including the Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee All-Polyethylene Patellar Components - concentric dome design, and the Johnson and Johnson® P.F.C.® Cruciate Sacrificing Patellar Component.

## Device Description

The Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Universal Dome and Recessed Patellar Components are fabricated from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The articular geometry is designed with a round dome topography. The overall geometry essentially consists of a circular

patellar button configuration with three fixation pegs on the anterior surface of the component. The anterior surface of the components also features circular grooves and pockets for cement interdigitation. Each patellar component is available in 8mm and 10mm dome thicknesses.

### Intended Use

:

The Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Universal Dome and Recessed Patellar Components are intended to articulate with any commercially available Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Femoral Component, any commercially available Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Femoral Component, and any commercially available Osteonics® Omnifit® Total Knee Fernoral Component. The subject patellar components are single use devices, intended for cemented application onto the surgically prepared posterior patella. These components replace the patellar articulating surface of the knee joint and simulate the natural function of the knee.

# Statement of Technological Comparison

The Osteonics® Scorpio™ Total Knee Universal Dome and Recessed Patellar Components share the same materials, intended use, basic surgical techniques, and basic design features of their predicate devices. Applicable performance testing demonstrates that the subject devices perform at least as well as, if not better than, commercially available designs.

Dear Mr. Koch:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). This decision is based on this device being equivalent only to similar devices labeled and intended to be fixed within bone with acrylic "bone cement." You may, therefore, market your device subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the following limitations:

- This device may not be labeled or promoted for non-1. cemented use.
- All labeling for this device, including package label 2. and labeling included within the package, must- -----------prominently state that the device is intended for cemented use only.
- Any non-cemented fixation of this device is considered 3. investigational and may only be investigated as a significant risk device in accordance with the investigational device exemption (IDE) regulation under 21 CFR, Part 812. All users of the device for noncemented fixation must receive approval from their respective institutional review boards (IRBs) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct the investigation.
