You may, 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 aware 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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part {1}------------------------------------------------ 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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE Substantial Equivalence is demonstrated to the Stryker Triathlon Tritanium Metal-Backed Patella (K132624). Both subject and predicate device share a common intended use, and have similar technological characteristics. Technological differences were supported through the use of Reference Devices. Comparable Features to Predicate Device: - The Porous Patella e+™ is constructed with a similar manufacturing process to the o predicate. Both devices consists of a metal backing produced by additive manufacturing. - . The anterior side of both devices is compression overmolded with UHMWPE then machined to final form. - The Porous Patella e+™ has a similar bone ingrowth surface to the predicate constructed ● of an additive manufacturing porous lattice integrated into the metal backing. - o The Porous Patella e+™ has a similar articulating surface geometry to the predicate consisting of a symmetric spherical surface. - The Porous Patella e+™ has the same number of bone fixation pegs (3) as the predicate. o Key Differences in Subject Device to Predicate: - The material specification of the metal backing used in the Porous Patella e+™ is ● different from the predicate. The Porous Patella e+™ uses Ti-6A1-4V per ASTM F2924 while the predicate uses commercially pure titanium per ASTM F1580. - 0 The specific geometry of the porous bone ingrowth surface on the Porous Patella e+™ is different from the predicate. The Porous Patella e+™ uses a proprietary randomized {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for DJO Surgical.

The exact geometry of the predicate lattice structure is unknown but is visually different from the Porous Patella e+™. - The material specification of the articulating surface on the Porous Patella e+TM is ● different from the predicate. The Porous Patella e+™ uses a moderately crosslinked GUR® 1020-E UHMWPE with Vitamin E per ASTM F648 and ASTM F2695 while the predicate uses conventional, non-crosslinked UHMWPE per ASTM F648. - . The UHMWPE used in the Porous Patella e+™ is crosslinked in two sequential doses. - The Porous Patella e+™ is offered in five sizes ranging from 29–41mm in diameter and o 8-11mm in thickness while the predicate is offered in four sizes ranging from 31-39mm in diameter and 9-11mm in thickness. - o The exact dimensions of the bone fixation pegs and their spacing on the Porous Patella e+TM differ from the predicate. #### Biocompatibility Testing Biocompatibility evaluation for the Porous Patella e+™ was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", September 4, 2020, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process, as recognized by FDA. The Porous Patella e+TM is intended for permanent implantation, contacting tissue/bone. Biocompatibility was ensured through the use of qualified materials and contact agents. #### Non-clinical Testing - 0 Chemical Composition & Microstructure of the Bone-apposing Materials (ASTM F2924) - Stereological Evaluation of the Porous Surface (ASTM F1854) - o Mechanical Properties of the Porous Surface (ASTM F1147, ASTM F1044, ASTM F1160, ISO 13314) - Abrasion of the Porous Surface - Initial Implant Stability - o Static tensile, static shear, and shear fatigue strength of UHMWPE/metal interface - Durability performance of the patellofemoral joint (ISO 14243-5)UHMWPE Material o Characterization #### Animal Studies No animal data submitted. #### Clinical Studies Clinical testing was not required. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for DJO Surgical. The logo consists of a red circle on the left, followed by the letters "DJO" in black. To the right of "DJO" is the word "SURGICAL" in a smaller, sans-serif font.
