The GCK is indicated for single or multi-compartmental knee replacement in skeletally mature individuals with osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis of the tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral articular surfaces or a history of gout or pseudogout. All GCK components are intended for CEMENTED USE ONLY. ## Device Story DePuy GCK is a modular knee prosthesis system comprising unicompartmental femoral, patellofemoral trochlear, unicompartmental tibial, and patellar components. Components are combined to perform single or multi-compartmental femorotibial or patellofemoral replacements. Designed for patients requiring high flexion (up to 155°). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace damaged knee joint articulation. Provides increased mobility and pain reduction. Subject device represents design modifications to previously cleared GCK femoral and all-polyethylene tibial components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence determined via design comparison and Finite Element Analysis. ## Technological Characteristics Modular knee prosthesis system. Materials: metal and polymer. Components: unicompartmental femoral, patellofemoral, tibial, and patellar. Cemented fixation only. Designed for high flexion (up to 155°). ## 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 - DePuy GCK ([K061648](/device/K061648.md)) - DePuy Sigma Unicompartmental Knee, submitted as the J&J PFC Unicondylar Knee System ([K910968](/device/K910968.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

J&J PFC Unicondylar Knee System (K910968) | Device Description: The DePuy GCK is composed of unicompartmental femoral components, patellofemoral trochlear components, unicompartmental tibial components and patellar components. These components may be used in various combinations to create: a single unicompartmental femorotibial replacement for either the medial or latcral side of the knee; two unicompartmental femorotibial replacements for both the medial and lateral sides of the knee; a patellofemoral replacement; a bicompartmental patcllofemorotibial replacement for the medial or lateral side of the knee; or a tricompartmental patellofemorotibial replacement for the medial and lateral sides of the knee. The GCK unicompartmental femoral components are designed for individuals who require a higher than normal degree of flexion (up to 155°). This submission describes design modifications to the previously cleared GCK unicompartmental femoral components and all polyethylene unicompartmental tibial components. {1}------------------------------------------------ Intended Use / Indications: The DePuy Graduated Compartmental Knee (GCK) is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduced pain by replacing the damaged knee joint articulation in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components. The GCK is indicated for single or multi-compartmental knee replacement in skeletally mature individuals with osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis of the tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral articular surfaces or a history of gout or pseudogout. All GCK components are intended for CEMENTED USF ONLY. Summary of Technologies/Substantial Equivalence: The modified GCK unicompartmental femoral and all polyethylene unicompartmental tibial components have the same indications and intended use, the same articulating geometry, the same sizes and are manufactured from the same materials as the previously cleared GCK unicompartmental femoral and all polyethylene unicompartmental tibial components. Non-Clinical Testing: Finite Element Analysis was performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the modified GCK unicompartmental femoral components to the predicate Sigma Unicompartmental femoral components and other clinically successful designs. Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence between the subject modified GCK components and the predicate GCK components. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

You may, therefore, market the devices, 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. If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices 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 devices comply 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Nancy Friddle 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. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
