Intended Use

The Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System (KIMRS) is intended for use in the osteoarthritic knee, where substantial amounts of articular cartilage have degenerated as a result of the disease, and in patients who are candidates for total and/or uni-compartmental arthroplasty procedures. The implant is indicated for the un-cemented treatment of the medial and/or lateral tibial articulating surfaces of the following: Moderate degeneration of the medial or lateral compartment of the knee (grade II-IV chondromalacia) and minimal degeneration (grade I-II chondromalacia, no loss of joint space) in the patellofemoral compartments. The Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System is intended to be implanted in the knee as a non-fixated, intra-articular support with minimal to no movement of the device after implantation.

Device Story

KIMRS is a patient-specific, minimally invasive, bone-preserving metallic implant for osteoarthritic knee treatment. Input: patient MR scans used to design implant geometry matching natural cartilage and meniscus. Output: cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy implant placed in medial or lateral joint space above tibial plateau. Operation: non-fixated, intra-articular support; femur articulates against smooth implant surface. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Benefit: provides joint support, reduces pain, and serves as an alternative to total knee replacement for appropriate candidates.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Cadaveric study comparing KIMRS to Centerpulse Unispacer in two specimens. Measured maximum excursion (anterior, posterior, and mediolateral) under fluoroscopy from 0° to 150° flexion. Results showed KIMRS performed comparably to the predicate, with less medial-lateral excursion observed.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy. Design: Patient-specific geometry derived from MR scans. Form factor: Unicondylar interpositional spacer. Fixation: Non-fixated (un-cemented).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with osteoarthritic knees requiring total or unicompartmental arthroplasty. Treats moderate degeneration (grade II-IV chondromalacia) of medial or lateral compartments with minimal (grade I-II) patellofemoral degeneration.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A knee joint tibial (hemi-knee) metallic resurfacing uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This prosthesis is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and is intended to resurface one tibial condyle. The generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).

Knec Interpositional Mini-Repair System (KIMRS) is intended for use in the osteoarthritic knee, where substantial amounts of articular cartilage have degenerated as a result of the disease, and in patients who are candidates for total and/or uni-compartmental arthroplasty procedures. The implant is indicated for the un-cemented treatment of the medial and/or lateral tibial articulating surfaces of the following: Moderate degeneration of the medial or lateral compartment of the knee (grade II-IV chondromalacia) and minimal degeneration (grade I-II chondromalacia, no loss of joint space) in the patellofemoral compartments. The Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System is intended to be implanted in the knee as a non-fixated, intra-articular support with minimal to no movement of the device after implantation. #### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System is a minimally invasive, bone preserving, approach for the treatment of the osteoarthritic knee. Developed from patient Magnetic Resonance (MR) scans a patient specific implant is designed. The treatment allows for the placement of an un-cemented metallic device designed from the patient's natural cartilage and meniscal geometry that is implanted into the joint space either in the medial or lateral compartment above the affected tibial plateau. The femur then articulates against the smooth implant surface. The implant is manufactured from cobalt chromium molybdenum alloy. {2}------------------------------------------------ ### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 033242 page 3 of 4 ### Technological Characteristics The technological characteristics of the Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System are identical to those of the cited predicate orthopedic devices. This device is equivalent in terms of design process, materials, production process, and equipment. ### Indications for Use Substantial equivalence is also supported for the Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System by the predicate devices previously cited and cleared in the treatment of osteoarthritic knees where total knee replacement is not warranted. ### TESTING IN SUPPORT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION To compare the properties of the ImaTx Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System with that of the Centerpulse Unispacer, both implants were inserted into the same cadaveric knee and examined under fluoroscopy. The test was performed on two knec specimens. In the lateral view, anterior and posterior landmarks were chosen on the tibial plateau. The maximum motion of the anterior edge of the implant with respect to the anterior landmark and of the posterior edge of the implant with respect to the posterior landmark was recorded over the range from 0° (full extension) to 150° of flexion. Similarly, the maximum mediolateral excursion of both implants was measured in the AP views. The results are listed in the table below. {3}------------------------------------------------ 033242 page 4 of 4 | Cadaver Knee 1 | ImaTx KIMRS (in mm) | Unispacer (in mm) | |-------------------------------------------------------|---------------------|-------------------| | Implant Length | 42 | 46 | | Implant Width | 25 | 29 | | Anterior Excursion (Lateral<br>view) | 4.5 | 3.1 | | Posterior Excursion (Lateral<br>view) | 4.8 | 6.0 | | Medial-Lateral Excursion<br>(Anterior-Posterior View) | 1.2 | 2.8 | | Cadaver Knee 2 | | | | Implant Length | 42 | 50 | | Implant Width | 25 | 31 | | Anterior Excursion (Lateral<br>view) | 3.6 | 4.0 | | Posterior Excursion (Lateral<br>view) | 2.9 | 4.5 | | Medial-Lateral Excursion<br>(Anterior-Posterior View) | 0.3 | 1.9 | ### Table 1. Maximum excursion of KIMRS compared to Unispacer The ImaTx Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System performed comparably to the Unispacer implant. On the lateral view, the values for anteroposterior translation are similar for both implants. Of note, the anterior and the posterior values should be similar or the same if the implant exhibits only translational movement. Remarkably, there is a significant difference in anterior and posterior maxima seen with the Unispacer in knee #1. This appears to be the result of implant rotation in addition to translation. Thus, the data in knee #1 indicate that the Unispacer rotates in addition to anteroposterior translation. On the AP view, the ImaTx Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System demonstrated no significant translation medially. The Unispacer, demonstrated considerably more movement medially. ### SUMMARY Based on the similarities in design, matcrials, function, and intended use, the Imaging Therapeutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Repair System is substantially equivalent to the devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In addition, the Imaging Therapcutics, Inc. Knee Interpositional Mini-Renair System raises no new safety on effectiveness issues. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America.
