Intended Use

The ConforMIS Unicondylar Knee Replacement System (iUni) is intended for use in one compartment of the osteoarthritic knee to replace the damaged area of the articular surface in patients with evidence of adequate healthy bone sufficient for support of the implanted components.

Candidates for unicondylar knee replacement include those with:

  • joint impairment due to osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis of the knee,
  • previous femoral condyle or tibial plateau fracture, creating loss of function,
  • valgus or varus deformity of the knee,
  • revision procedures provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans.

This implant is intended for cemented use only.

Device Description

ConforMIS iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System ("iUni KRS") is a patient-specific unicompartmental knee replacement system. The iUni is comprised of a set of implants designed from patient images. The implant system consist of:

  • 1 Femoral Implant
  • 1 Tibial Component (all-polyethylene or metal backed)

The implants of the iUni KRS will be composed of individually packaged femoral and tibial components and will be provided with ancillary instrumentation to assist in the implantation procedure.

The patient-specific femoral implant will be made of Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo) and will be personalized to match a patient's anatomy.

The all poly tibial component is made from UHMWPE. The metal backed tibial component will consist of a CoCrMo tibial tray and with an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial insert. Multiple inserts of varying thicknesses may be provided to accommodate surgeon preferences.

The outline bone contacting and articular surfaces of the femoral component as well as the outline of both tibial components are personalized to match the patient's femoral and tibial anatomy. The design of the implant is derived from an analysis, using proprietary software, of images obtained by MRI or CT scan.

Disposable, patient-specific instrumentation is provided to assist in the implantation of the iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the ConforMIS iUni Unicondylar Knee Replacement System. This submission is for clarifying the indications for use statement and does not involve any changes to the device itself. Therefore, a study to prove device performance relative to acceptance criteria as if it were a new AI/software device is not relevant in this context.

The document explicitly states:

  • "Non-clinical laboratory testing was not performed as there is no change to the device."
  • "Clinical data is not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence."
  • "The determination of substantial equivalence for this device was based on the indications for use statements and the device design. The design of the iUni KRS was previously determined to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. A comparison of the designs and the indications for use statements confirmed that the modification to the indications for use does not affect device performance and is, therefore, also substantially equivalent."

This 510(k) is essentially an administrative update to align the indications for use with previous clearances and FDA guidance. There are no performance metrics or detailed studies presented for this particular submission. The "device performance" in question here is the device's substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on its design and intended use, not on specific quantitative performance metrics tested in a study for this submission.

Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and performance studies cannot be extracted from this document, as such studies were not part of this specific 510(k) submission.

However, I can provide information based on the premise of the submission, which is about substantial equivalence, not new performance data.
