Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical testing and analysis for the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert includes dynamic disassociation test in line with ASTM F2723-13a, constraint test in line with ASTM F1223-14, Range of motion in line with ASTM 2083-12 and contact pressure test.

The tibial insert & fixed tibial tray assembling test, micromotion assessment & wear testing were not undertaken as the design of latching mechanism between the tibial insert is identical to that of the to that of the Unity Total Knee System (CR/PS tibial insert). Therefore, equivalency claim for the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert.

The results of this testing show that the Corin Unity Knee™ CS Tibial is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) has been conducted on finished, sterilized product, using Limulus Amebocyte Lystate (LAL) kinetic chromogenic methodology.

Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence between the additional components of the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert and the predicate devices.

The Unity Total Knee system was originally cleared in K113060. This submission is for the inclusion of an additional range of Unity Knee™ CS Tibial Inserts. The additional range of Tibial Insert has the same intended purpose as those cleared in the original 510(k) submission (K113060).

10. Intended Use / Indications:

General total knee arthroplasty indications include:

  • Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis
  • Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function
  • Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function
  • Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other soft tissue stability is adequate
  • Fracture of the distal femur and/or proximal tibia that cannot be stabilized by standard fracture management techniques
  • The posterior stabilized variant is also indicated for PCL instability requiring implant bearing surface geometries with increased anterior-posterior constraint and absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament

The Unity Knee™ is intended for cemented use, single use only.

11. Summary of Technologies / Substantial Equivalence:

The Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert, subject to this submission is similar to the Stryker Triathlon® CS (Condylar Stabilizing) Lipped Insert (K063423) in terms of design, material, type of bearing, intended use and indication of use. The predicate is supplied in different variants, where the tibial insert can be made from either ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or highly cross linked polyethylene (HXLPE). The focus of the variant selected is the fixed tibial insert made from "UHMWPE", where the Unity Knee™ CS Tibial Insert is similar to the predicate devices above.

The Unity Total Knee System (CR Tibial Insert) (K113060) is also added as a predicate device because the tibial insert material, indication of use and fixture design between the tibial tray are identical. The sizes are also similar, where both tibial inserts comes in nine (9) sizes. The difference in the sizing is the range of thickness provided with Unity Knee™ CS Tibial Insert.

Based on these similarities, the Unity Knee™ CS Tibial insert is believed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

12. Non-Clinical Testing:

Non-clinical testing and analysis for the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert includes dynamic disassociation test in line with ASTM F2723-13a, constraint test in line with ASTM F1223-14, Range of motion in line with ASTM 2083-12 and contact pressure test.

The tibial insert & fixed tibial tray assembling test, micromotion assessment & wear testing were not undertaken as the design of latching mechanism between the tibial insert is identical to that of the to that of the Unity Total Knee System (CR/PS tibial insert). Therefore, equivalency claim for the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert.

The results of this testing show that the Corin Unity Knee™ CS Tibial is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) has been conducted on finished, sterilized product, using Limulus Amebocyte Lystate (LAL) kinetic chromogenic methodology.

13. Clinical Testing:

Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence between the additional components of the Unity Knee™ CS tibial insert and the predicate devices.
