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 available 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. U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K251241 - Morgan Paronish Page 2 Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181). 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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

PREDICATE / REFERENCE DEVICES Predicate (primary): EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric Cones (K240324) Predicate (secondary): EMPOWR Revision VVC+, e+ Tibial Insert (K230169) Reference: AMF TT Cones (K200653) ## IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT (Trabecular Titanium) Cones are an optional accessory in primary or revision Total Knee Arthroplasty. The EMPOWR Symmetric TT Cones are sterile, single-use devices that are compatible for use with the EMPOWR Revision Knee™ components. The EMPOWR Symmetric TT Cones are composed of Ti6Al4V alloy (per ASTM F1472 and ISO 5832-3) and feature a porous Trabecular Titanium (TT) structure on the external surface of the implant. The EMPOWR Symmetric TT Cones are additively manufactured via Electron Beam Melting in the same manner as the reference AMF TT Cones device. ## V. INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE ### Intended Use: The EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones are intended for use in skeletally mature patients with bone defect or poor bone quality (osteoporotic bone) or in case of sclerotic bone that requires {5} K251241 Page 2 of 3 # enovis supplemental fixation in the clinical judgment of the surgeon. The EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones are intended for uncemented fixation to the bone and are fixed to the femoral and tibial implants using bone cement. Indications for Use: The EMPOWR Revision Knee™: Total joint replacement is indicated for patients suffering from disability due to: - degenerative, post-traumatic or rheumatoid arthritis; - avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle; - post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy; - moderate valgus, varus or flexion deformities; - treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts where bone loss may require the use of augments, sleeves cones or extensions. The EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones are indicated for the following conditions: - EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones are indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with bone defect or poor bone quality (osteoporotic bone) or in case of sclerotic bone that requires supplemental fixation in the clinical judgment of the surgeon. - EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones are indicated for uncemented fixation to the bone and are fixed to the femoral and tibial implants using bone cement. # VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE The subject EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric TT Cones have similar technological characteristics as the primary predicate EMPOWR Revision Knee™ Symmetric Cones. The subject and primary predicate have the same substrate material, size offerings, sterility, method of fixation, and cones specific indications for use. The subject and secondary predicate have identical indications for use for joint replacement. The subject and primary predicate differ in manufacturing process, coating, and packaging. The manufacturing process and coating are identical to the AMF TT Cones reference device. Packaging testing provided evidence that the new configuration is able to protect the product and maintain sterility. Performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate device. # Performance Testing The following testing was performed to FDA recognized standards and internal protocols: - Dynamic Fatigue Testing: ASTM F1800-19e1 (modified) - MR Conditional Labeling: ASTM F2052 -21, ASTM F2213-17, ASTM F2119-07(2013), ASTM F2182-10e2 {6} K251241 Page 3 of 3 enovis. Animal Studies No animal data submitted. Clinical Studies No clinical data submitted. VIII. CONCLUSIONS All testing and evaluations demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate.
