## Intended Use

Total knee components are indicated for: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis 2. Post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity levels are compatible with an adequate long-term result. 3. Failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement. 4. The posterior-stabilized knee system is designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact. The Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates are indicated for use without bone cement, and are single use devices.

## Device Story

Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplate is an uncemented orthopedic implant for total knee arthroplasty. Device serves as a tibial component in primary or revision knee replacement. Manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy; features porous coating of CP Ti beads and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating for bone integration. Modified from Profix Porous Tibial Baseplates (K030623) by incorporating Genesis II style periphery, profile, and locking detail, plus increased baseplate thickness. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical stability for knee joint reconstruction; intended to restore joint function and alleviate pain in patients with degenerative or inflammatory joint disease. Single-use device.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data required or provided to support safety and effectiveness. Verification testing performed per FDA Class 2 Special Controls Guidance Document for Knee Joint Patellofemoratibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Surface: Porous coating of CP Ti beads with HA coating. Configuration: Left and right, sizes 2-8. Design: Genesis II style periphery, profile, and locking detail. Uncemented fixation. Single-use. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.

Name of Device: Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplate Common Name: Total Knee Prosthesis Device Classification Name and Reference: 21 CFR 888.3565 Knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous coated uncemented prosthesis Device Class: Class II Panel Code: Orthopaedics/87 MBH

#### Device Description

Subject of this premarket notification is a review of changes to the Profix Porous Tibial Baseplates (previously cleared for market via premarket notification K030623) to result in the Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates. The subject devices are uncemented tibial baseplates manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V material and feature a porous coating of CP Ti beads and an HA coating. The devices will be available in left and right configurations in sizes 2 through 8.

When compared to the predicate Profix Porous Tibial Baseplates, the Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates have been modified as follows:

- 0 Utilization of the Genesis II style periphery, profile, and locking detail
- . Addition of HA coating
- 트 Increase in thickness of baseplate

#### Intended Use

Total knee components are indicated for:

- 1. Rheumatoid arthritis
- 2. Post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity levels are compatible with an adequate long-term result.
- 3. Failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement.
- এ. The posterior-stabilized knee system is designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact.

The Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates are indicated for use without bone cement, and are single use devices.

# Summary of Safety and Effectiveness LEGION Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates Smith & Nephew, Inc.

## Performance Data

Design verification testing has been performed based on requirements outlined in FDA's Class 2 Special Controls Guidance Document Knee Joint Patellofemoratibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and Staff, dated January 16, 2003 and Draft Guidance Document for Testing Non-Articulating, "Mechanically Locked", Modular Implant Components dated May 1, 1995. A review of the testing has demonstrated that there are no new issues related to the safety or effectiveness of the subject devices.

Clinical data was not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

# Substantial Equivalence Information

The Legion Porous + HA Tibial Baseplates are substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices listed below. Giving consideration to the device modifications described in the Device Description section, no changes have been made to the overall design philosophy, intended use, and material choices when compared to the predicate knee systems.

| Description                        | 510(k)  | Clearance Date |

Dear Ms. Bevill:

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
