## Intended Use

The Consensus® CoCr/Ti Femoral Component is intended for use with the Consensus® Knee System and is not intended for substitution of components from other systems. This device is intended for cemented use only. The indications for use are as follows: - Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic 1. arthritis, or degenerative arthritis; - Intervention of failed osteotomies and unicompartmental replacements; 2. - 3. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press fit knee components if sufficient bone stock exists.

## Device Story

Consensus® Femoral Component is a porous, CoCr/Ti knee prosthesis designed to replicate natural femoral anatomy. Device features a swept-back radius on outer condyle surfaces for smooth articulation and a deepened trochlear groove for anatomic patellar tracking. Inner box geometry allows specific bone resection (10mm distal, 9mm posterior, 6.5mm anterior); anterior flange angled 4° outward to prevent notching. Smooth tapered pegs on distal condyles provide medial-lateral stability. Device is intended for cemented use only; porous coating of sintered CoCr beads with Titanium alloy coating enhances cement fixation. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for total knee arthroplasty to restore joint function and alleviate pain associated with degenerative or inflammatory joint disease.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and performance testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Cast CoCrMo alloy (ASTM F75-92) with sintered porous coating of CoCr beads (ASTM F75-92) and Titanium alloy (ASTM F67-95) coating. Configuration: Left/right femoral components with swept-back condyle radius, deepened trochlear groove, and tapered distal pegs. Fixation: Cemented only. Connectivity: None.

## 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).

#### Intended Use

The Consensus® CoCr/Ti Femoral Component is intended for use with the Consensus® Knee System and is not intended for substitution of components from other systems. This device is intended for cemented use only. The indications for use are as follows:

- Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic 1. arthritis, or degenerative arthritis;
- Intervention of failed osteotomies and unicompartmental replacements; 2.
- 3. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press fit knee components if sufficient bone stock exists.

#### Device Description

The porous femoral knee component will be available in a left and right configuration and is designed to replicate the natural anatomy of the femur. The design of the femoral component incorporates a swept-back radius on the outer condyle surfaces to allow for smooth articulation throughout the range of motion 2. The outer articular surface of the femoral component will also have a deepened trochlear groove to allow for more anatomic tracking of the patellar component and improved range of motion. The material will be cast CoCrMo alloy (ASTM F75-92). The inner box geometry of the femoral component is designed to allow a minimum bone resection of 10mm distal, 9mm posterior, and 6.5mm anterior. The anterior flange of the femoral component is angled 4°outward, posterior to anterior, to reduce the potential for notching the anterior femur. The anterior flange will also

incorporate a stepped chamfer which allows for positioning the trochlear groove in a more anatomic position. A smooth tapered peg will be located on each distal condyle to provide medial-lateral stability and enhanced fixation. The surfaces of the inner box geometry of the porous femoral component will incorporate a sintered porous coating of CoCr beads (ASTM F75-92), which will subsequently be coated with Titanium alloy (ASTM F67-95). The porous coating is designed to enhance cement fixation.

## Summary Basis for Finding of Substantial Equivalence

The Consensus® CoCr/Ti Femoral Component has substantially the same intended use and indications for use as the predicates as well as similar performance and principles of operation. The technological differences between the Consensus® CoCr/Ti Femoral Component and the predicate devices have been thoroughly documented and tested in order to verify that no new issues of safety and effectiveness are raised by the design.

Dear Mr. Stassi:

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 siqnificant 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.

The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
