Summary of Technologies/Substantial Equivalence:
The implants and associated instruments within the ACHIEVE™ Partial Knee System are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device in terms of its intended use and indications, material, design, sizes, and mechanical properties. Differences between the subject device system and the predicate device system do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Non-Clinical Testing:
The ACHIEVE™ Partial Knee System underwent non-clinical testing and analyses to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. A review of the worst-case assessment in the protocol and/or the test results, indicate that the subject ACHIEVE Partial Knee implants are equivalent to the existing, legally marketed predicate devices with regards to mechanical performance and that there are no new issues related to the safety and effectiveness of the subject device. The following were completed:
Predicate Comparison Evaluation
A detailed comparison of key technologies and feature dimensions was made between the subject device and predicate devices. The comparison concluded the subject device key technologies and feature dimensions are substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices.
Range of Motion (RoM) Evaluation
An evaluation was conducted to ensure the RoM of the worst-case subject device components meet established specifications per ASTM F2083. The RoM targets were met.
Femoral Fatigue Testing
Femoral fatigue testing was performed to 10 Mc per modified ASTM F3210. The acceptance criteria were met.
Tibial Tray Fatigue Testing
Tibial Tray fatigue testing was performed to 10 Mc per modified ASTM F3140. The acceptance criteria were met.
Component Interlock Strength Testing
To characterize the strength of attachment between the Tibial Tray and Tibial Bearing, static AP and ML shear testing and static tensile pull-off testing were performed. The acceptance criteria were met.
Page 8
Evaluation of Wear Resistance
Wear testing was performed per ISO 14243-3. The wear rate of the subject device does not represent a new worst-case when compared directly to a predicate device.
Tibial-Femoral Contact Area/Contact Stress Testing
The contact surface areas and contact stresses were determined experimentally and an engineering justification demonstrated that the subject device does not represent a new worst-case for tibial-femoral contact area/contact stress when compared to the predicate devices.
Characterization of Titanium Articular Surface Coatings
The wear properties of the Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating of the articular surface were characterized and found to be substantially equivalent to an uncoated cobalt-chrome alloy (CoCrMo) when articulating with a UHMWPE bearing couple. An engineering justification demonstrated that the subject device does not represent a new worst-case for wear resistance, abrasion-resistance and surface hardness of the articulating surfaces when compared to the predicate device, which is made from CoCrMo.
Biocompatibility Assessments
The contact classification for the subject devices is Implant, Bone/Tissue with permanent contact (>30 days). A Biocompatibility Assessment was completed and provided per ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance Document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process. The devices were found to be biocompatible.
Porous Structure Characterization
The porous structure used for the subject device was evaluated per ASTM F1044 (Static Shear Strength), ASTM F1147 (Static Tensile Strength), ASTM F1160 (Shear Fatigue), ASTM F1978 (Abrasion Resistance), and ASTM F1854 (Stereological Evaluation). The engineered porous structure meets the recommendations of the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellfemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.
Shelf-Life Evaluation
A shelf-life evaluation per ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 was completed on the packaging materials that make up the sterile barrier. A five-year shelf life was established based on the resultant data.
Sterilization Validation
Sterilization validation was completed using the VDmax method specified in ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) was found to be 10⁻⁶.
Page 9
Clinical Testing:
Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the ACHIEVE™ Partial Knee System – Porous Coated CoCrMo Femoral Component to the predicate device.
Conclusion:
A comparison of the subject and predicate devices, including comparison of the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical testing results has demonstrated that the subject device has a safety and effectiveness profile equivalent to that of the predicate device. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
§ 888.3535 Knee joint femorotibial (uni-compartmental) metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial (uni-compartmental) metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surface. 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 baseplate.(b)
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.
