Intended Use
For E-XPE Insert (CR, PS and UC type) and Patella: The device is indicated in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectorny, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts if the knee can be satisfactorily balanced and stabilized at the time of surgery. This device is a single use implant and intended for cemented use only. For E-XPE Insert (PSA type) This device is indicated in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion contraction. This device is intended for use in patients who require augmentation and/or stem extensions due to inadequate bone stock and/or require constrained stabilization for tibiofemoral joint due to soft tissue imbalance. This device is a single use implant and intended use only.
Device Story
U2 Total Knee System E-XPE Products are orthopedic implants consisting of tibial inserts (CR, PS, UC, PSA types) and patella components. Designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty; intended to replace damaged joint surfaces to reduce pain and restore function. Implants are manufactured from E-XPE material. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Output is a physical joint replacement; clinical decision-making relies on surgeon assessment of patient bone stock, joint stability, and soft tissue balance. Benefits include improved mobility and pain relief for patients with severe knee pathology.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on non-clinical bench testing, including tibiofemoral range of motion analysis, contact area/pressure testing, joint constraint, locking strength, wear simulation, fatigue testing of tibial insert spine, and mechanical property testing of E-XPE material. Bacterial endotoxin testing met USP <161> limits.
Technological Characteristics
Total knee prosthesis components (tibial inserts and patella) made of E-XPE material. Semi-constrained cemented design. Evaluated for mechanical properties, wear, and fatigue. Complies with Class II Special Controls Guidance for Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring knee arthroplasty for pain relief or improved function due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis, or posttraumatic joint loss. PSA type indicated for patients requiring augmentation/stem extensions for inadequate bone stock or constrained stabilization for soft tissue imbalance.
Regulatory Classification
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).

Dear Ms. Ho:
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.

### 510(k) Summary
inadequate bone stock and/or require constrained stabilization for tibiofemoral joint due to soft tissue imbalance. This device is a single use implant and intended for cemented use only.
### Comparison to Predicate Device:
The design rationale and indication for use are identical to the previously cleared "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System (K082424, K103733, K131864, K132752 and K150829). The E-XPE material is substantially equivalent to "Renovis Surgical Technologies" A200 Knee System (K120038). The using instruments are also identical to the predicate devices.
The differences between the subject and the predicate devices are size distribution, device dimension and material. The performance evaluation of the subject device was conducted and would not post issues about safety and effectiveness. Thus, we believe that the subjected device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
### Performance Data:
## ● Non-clinical Performance
This 510(k) submission was prepared in accordance with the Agency's, " Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA".
