K212746 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the ATTUNE Revision Cones. Classified as Prosthesis, Knee, Patello/femorotibial, Semi-constrained, Uncemented, Porous, Coated, Polymer/metal/polymer (product code MBH), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Depuy Ireland UC (Ringaskiddy, IE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 17, 2022 after a review of 413 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3565 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Orthopedic submissions.
