Intended Use
Unicompartmental knee implants are indicated for restoring either compartment of a knee that has been affected by the following: · Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis; and · Partial revisions to replace the tibial insert of the previously implanted JOURNEY II UK knee in the femoral and tibial components are well-fixed. Unicompartmental knee implants are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.
Device Description
The JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System includes femoral components, tibial inserts that restore either compartment of the knee (K190085, K230653). JOURNEY II UK provides joint replacement on a single condylar compartment, meaning that only one condyle will be replaced instead of the entire femoral component replaces the damaged condylar component of the femur. The tibial baseplate replaced the damaged part of the tibial insert is the articulating surface which allows the knee to bend and flex smoothly and is placed above the tibial baseplate. The Smith & Nephew JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System consists of OXINUM femoral components, titanium tibial baseplates, and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) tibial inserts.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

Unicompartmental knee implants are indicated for restoring either compartment of a knee that has been affected by the following:

· Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis; and · Partial revisions to replace the tibial insert of the previously implanted JOURNEY II UK knee in the femoral and tibial components are well-fixed.

Unicompartmental knee implants are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.

Indications for Use Comparison

The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) is to notify the FDA of our intent to request clearance for changes to Smith & Nephew's JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System labeling, including updated indications.

Indications were updated from the Instructions for Use (K190085, K230653) to meet EU MDR requirements. Indications that could be implied within another cleared indication were removed to consolidate indication verbiage was modified to specify only isolated polyethylene insert exchanges (poly swap), in the case the femoral and tibial components are wellfixed, based on clinical evaluation requirements under EU MDR. The updates to the indications do not change the general purpose or disease or condition that the subject devices are intended to be used for; therefore, the indications do not constitute a new intended use.

The Smith & Nephew JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System is identical in function, design features, materials, sterilization, packaging, manufacturing methods and operational principles to the commercially available predicate device Smith & Nephew JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System (K190085, K230653).

Technological Comparison

The overall technological characteristic including device devices are identical to the predicates cleared under the premarket notifications Smith & Nephew JOURNEY II Unicompartmental Knee System (K190085, K230653), As a result, all relevant testing makes references to existing information previously provided to the agency.
