The TRULIANT Femoral Components, Tibial Inserts, and Tibial Trays are indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary surgery for total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and/or post-traumatic degenerative problems. They are also indicated for revision of failed previous reconstructions where sufficient bone stock and soft tissue integrity are present. The TRULIANT Cemented Femoral Components, Tibial Inserts, and Tibial Trays are indicated for cemented use only. The TRULIANT Porous Femoral Components are indicated for cemented or cementless use.
Device Story
Truliant Porous Femoral Components are orthopedic implants used in tricompartmental total knee arthroplasty. These components resurface femoral bone and are designed for either cemented or cementless implantation. The device is used in a surgical setting by orthopedic surgeons. The porous structure facilitates bone ingrowth for cementless fixation. The components are modular and compatible with existing Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, and Truliant patellar and tibial components. By providing a stable, porous-coated interface, the device aims to restore joint function and alleviate pain associated with degenerative knee conditions, benefiting patients requiring primary or revision total knee replacement.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes engineering analysis of device press-fit, surgeon expert evaluation, and simulated use activities. Pyrogen testing was conducted in accordance with USP <161>, USP <85>, and ANSI/AAMI ST72.
Technological Characteristics
Porous-coated metal femoral components for total knee arthroplasty. Designed for cemented or cementless use. Features a porous structure for bone ingrowth. Compatible with modular Optetrak/Optetrak Logic/Truliant tibial and patellar components. Sterilization per FDA guidance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic degenerative problems; also indicated for revision of failed previous reconstructions with sufficient bone stock and soft tissue integrity.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Patrick Hughes:
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 mav, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be avare that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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 comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (http://www.fda.gov/DICE) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).

# Exactech® Truliant® Porous Femoral Components Special 510(k) - 510(k) Summary
## Indications for Use:
The TRULIANT Femoral Components, Tibial Inserts, and Tibial Trays are indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary surgery for total knee replacement due to osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and/or posttraumatic degenerative problems. They are also indicated for revision of failed previous reconstructions where sufficient bone stock and soft tissue integrity are present.
The TRULIANT Cemented Femoral Components, Tibial Inserts, and Tibial Trays are indicated for cemented use only. The TRULIANT Porous Femoral Components are indicated for cemented or cementless use.
## Device Description:
Truliant femoral components are for use in resurfacing femoral bone as part of tricompartmental total knee arthroplasty employing modular components from the Optetrak / Optetrak Logic and Truliant device families.
Proposed Truliant porous femoral components represent modifications to Optetrak Logic porous femoral components cleared per 510(k) K140302. The proposed Truliant porous femoral components are identical to other Truliant femoral components but employ a porous structure identical to that used for the cited predicate femoral components and can be implanted as part of an uncemented surgical approach.
Proposed and predicate devices operate using the same fundamental scientific technology, have the same intended use and design features, employ the same materials of construction, are offered in similar product size scopes, are implanted using similar surgical techniques and the same or similar instrumentation, have equivalent Indications for Use statements, and, size for size, are compatible with the same Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, and Truliant patellar and tibial components.
