The MISHATM Knee System is indicated for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis that have failed to find relief in surgical and/or non-surgical treatment modalities and are still experiencing pain that interferes with activities of daily living and are also unwilling to undergo or ineligible for total knee replacement due to age or absence of advanced osteoarthritis.
The MISHATM Knee System (Figure 1) is a prescription use, extra-capsular knee implant device that is comprised of a tibial base subassembly, femoral base subassembly, absorber subassembly, piston subassembly and locking screws. The tibial base subassembly, femoral base subassembly, piston subassembly and absorber subassembly are provided pre-assembled, and the implant is fixed with locking screws to the medial cortices of the distal femur and proximal tibia to share the loads with the knee joint. The articulating ball-and-sockets allow the implant to accommodate the natural motions of the knee. The implant bases and locking screws are made of titanium alloy and the sockets are CoCrMo alloy. The compressive component of the absorber is made of polycarbonate urethane. The femoral balls, tibial balls, and the internal lining of the absorber are made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK). The implant comes in two sizes (small and large) and right or left configurations.
The provided text describes the results of a clinical study for the MISHATM Knee System (formerly Calypso Knee System) and various non-clinical (bench) studies to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness.

2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance:
-
Clinical Study (Test Set):
- Calypso Knee Group: 81 subjects (prospective).
- Control (HTO) Group: 92 subjects enrolled, 81 subjects included in PS-matched analysis (historical data from "GOAL" study - Atlas IDE study, implying retrospective for the control group).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the mention of a "multicenter clinical study" and an "Atlas IDE study" suggests data from potentially multiple locations, though specific countries are not provided. The sponsor is Moximed Inc. in Fremont, California, giving a US nexus.
-
Training Set Sample Size: The document does not provide information about a separate training set for a computational model or algorithm. The clinical data describes a test set for evaluating the device's clinical performance.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Clinical Study):
- The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish "ground truth" for the clinical endpoints (e.g., WOMAC scores, adverse events, radiographic assessment).
- However, the clinical study involved patient-reported outcomes (WOMAC/KOOS scores), and adverse events were likely adjudicated by a clinical events committee (CEC), which typically consists of medical experts. The "No Safety Endpoint Event (CEC)" in Table 7 implies expert review. Radiographic assessment would also likely involve trained medical professionals (e.g., orthopedic surgeons, radiologists).
4. Adjudication Method (Clinical Study Test Set):
- The document explicitly mentions a "Committee of Experts (CEC)" for Safety Endpoint Events. This implies a specific adjudication process, likely involving multiple experts reviewing cases to determine if events meet predefined criteria.
- For the other components of the Composite Clinical Success (WOMAC scores, implant integrity), the adjudication method is not explicitly detailed as 2+1, 3+1, etc., but rather defined by the objective scoring systems (WOMAC/KOOS) and radiographic assessment by medical professionals.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly conducted as described for AI evaluation.
- The clinical study was a prospective, multicenter clinical study comparing the device (Calypso Knee System) to a historical control group (HTO) using propensity score matching. This is a comparison between treatments, not a comparison of human readers with vs. without AI assistance.
- Therefore, there is no effect size reported for human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance.
6. Standalone Algorithm Performance:
- No, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study was not described. The performance evaluation focuses on the medical device itself (implant and its clinical outcomes) rather than an AI algorithm's diagnostic or predictive capability.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used (Clinical Study):
- For the clinical study, the "ground truth" for the primary and secondary endpoints was based on:
- Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs): WOMAC pain and function scores from the KOOS Knee questionnaire.
- Clinical Events Committee (CEC) Adjudication: For Safety Endpoint Events (e.g., deep infection, neurovascular damage).
- Radiographic Assessment: For implant integrity.
- Clinical Outcomes/Events: Such as conversion to arthroplasty or subsequent surgical interventions.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
- As mentioned in point 2, the document does not describe a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI algorithm development. The enrollment numbers (81 Calypso subjects, 92 HTO subjects originally, 81 PS-matched HTO subjects) refer to the clinical study's participant count for evaluating the device's effectiveness.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established:
- Since there's no mention of a separate training set for an AI algorithm, this information is not applicable from the provided text. The clinical study itself established the "performance data" for the device, which formed the basis for its regulatory acceptance.

| Inner and Outer Pouches | Protective Cartons | Mounting Cards |
|---|---|---|
| (b)(4) | ||
Non-clinical performance testing of the implant was used to assess the shelf-life of the device. The testing confirmed a 5-year shelf-life.
Pyrogenicity:
Bacterial endotoxins testing (BET) was performed to determine whether the MISHATM Knee System met pyrogen limit specifications. All tested devices passed with a reported value of ≤1 EU/device, meeting the recommended endotoxin limits per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011 ("Bacterial endotoxins - Test methods, routine monitoring, and alternatives to batch testing").
MAGNETIC RESONANCE (MR) COMPATIBILITY
To support MR conditional labeling for the MISHATM Knee System, the following MR testing was conducted to evaluate device safety and compatibility:
- Magnetically Induced Displacement Force per ASTM F2052-15. "Standard Test . Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment";
- Magnetically Induced Torque per ASTM F2213-11, "Standard Test Method for . Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment";
- . Radiofrequency Induced Heating per ASTM F2182-11a, "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating Near Passive Implants During Magnetic Resonance Imaging"; and
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Imaging Artifacts per ASTM F2119-07 (Reapproved 2013), "Standard Test Method . for Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts from Passive Implants"
In magnetic field interaction tests, the MISHA™ Knee System implant showed a translation deflection angle of piral the maximum spatial gradient was (D)(4) (bx) and no torque. In image artifact testing, the maximum image artifact was measured for both spin echo and gradient echo pulse sequences in a 3.0 T MR scanner, and the maximum artifact size caused by the device extends approximately 37 mm from the implant when imaged with a gradient echo pulse sequence. In MRI-related heating testing, test results and in vivo modeling show that, the maximum temperature rise after 60 minutes continuous exposure is less than 6°C under the condition of the whole-body specific absorption rate (SAR) at 2 W/kg.

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL INFORMATION
Study Design
{7}------------------------------------------------
The sponsor conducted a prospective, multicenter clinical study comparing the Calypso Knee System (rebranded for this De Novo request) to the cohort of subjects treated with High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) from a non-randomized trial ("GOAL" study-historical data from the Atlas IDE study). The Calypso Clinical Study was submitted to demonstrate the system's safety and effectiveness. Propensity Score (PS) methodology was employed to account for potential selection bias in the non-randomized comparison of the two groups and resulting in a PS Analysis set of 81 Calypso subjects and 81 Control (HTO) subjects in data through 24 months post-treatment. Clinical and radiographic follow-up visits occurred at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 18 (N/A for HTO), and 24 months post-treatment. The Control (HTO) group completed follow-up visit at 24-months and the Calypso Knee group will continue to be followed through 5 years post-treatment.
Subject Demographics
The study population included male or female subjects aged 25 to 65 years for the Calypso Knee group and 25 to 80 years for the Control (HTO) group, with a diagnosis of medial knee osteoarthritis and knee pain with an overall Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain score ≥ 40 (scale 0-100), who have failed to improve after at least six months of conservative medical treatment.
A total of eighty-one (81) Calypso subjects and ninety-two (92) Control (HTO) subjects were enrolled. After PS matching, eight-one (81) Control (HTO) subjects were included in the study analysis. Table 6 presents a summary of the baseline characteristics for the Calypso Knee group and Control (HTO) group:
| Measure | Calypso | Control(HTO) |
|---|---|---|
| N | 81 | 81 |
| Age, years | $51.2 \pm 7.71$ | $52.5 \pm 7.58$ |

Table 6: Patient Baseline Characteristics
{8}------------------------------------------------
The age and BMI of the Calypso Knee group and Control (HTO) group are similar. The percentage of male subjects for the Calypso Knee group was about 5% lower compared to the Control (HTO) group and on average the Calypso Knee group had OA symptoms for 17.5 months longer compared to the Control (HTO) group. Despite the difference of the duration of osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms, the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) Grade was similar for both groups. The baseline characteristics for the Calypso Knee and Control (HTO) group are comparable.
Primary Endpoint
The primary endpoint is a Composite Clinical Success (CCS) demonstrating noninferiority of the Calypso Knee System to HTO data from the GOAL study at 24 months post-treatment. A subject is considered a success at 24 months if all of the following components were met at 24 months:
- . Clinically significant improvement of at least 20% from baseline on the WOMAC pain questions in the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Knee questionnaire with a change of ≥ 10 points
- . Clinically significant improvement of at least 20% from baseline on the WOMAC function questions in the KOOS Knee questionnaire with a change of ≥ 10 points
- . Freedom from the following device-related serious adverse events. or "Safety Endpoint Event" (SEE):
- · Deep infection requiring surgical intervention (Both arms)
- Damage to adjacent neurovascular or ligament structures necessitating o reconstruction (Both arms)
- o Non-union (HTO only)
- Maintenance of implant integrity as evaluated by radiographic assessment .
In addition to the four components, the protocol noted that a subject would also be a failure if a conversion to arthroplasty occurs through 24-months.
The sponsor conducted analysis of the primary endpoint with multiple imputation based on average treatment effect in the treated (ATT) for Month 24 clinical composite score. Using multiple imputation to account for missing data, the success rate was 83.5% for the Calvpso Knee group and 57.2% for the Control (HTO) group. Study success is based on a priori selected non-inferiority margin (δ) of -0.10. The success rate of the Calypso Knee group led the Control (HTO) group by 26.3% and the primary endpoint at 24 months was achieved in this study. Results are presented in Table 7 for all study subjects.

| Multiple Imputation (MI) | 81 | 67.6 | 83.5% | 81 | 46.4 | 57.2% |
A tipping point analysis was conducted to analyze the sensitivity of missing data. Compared to the multiple imputation model, the tipping analysis does not require the same statistical assumptions as it analyzes every possible combination of the missing data. The results from the tipping analysis indicate that the non-inferiority study conclusion is robust and not impacted by the missing data.
Secondary Endpoints
The sponsor assessed the following five secondary endpoints to evaluate the superiority of the Calypso Knee System to the Control (HTO):
- . Time to full weight bearing
- Percent change from baseline to 3-months on the WOMAC pain in the KOOS . Knee Survey
- Percent change from baseline to 3-months on the WOMAC function in the KOOS . Knee Survey
- Percent change from baseline to 24-months on the WOMAC pain in the KOOS . Knee Survey
- Percent change from baseline to 24-months on the WOMAC function in the . KOOS Knee Survey
| Outcome | N | Calypso | N | Control | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | SD | Mean | SD | |||
| Time (days) to Full Weight Bearing | 81 | 13.4 | 10.12 | 77 | 58.0 | 39.91 |
| WOMAC Pain % Change fromBaseline at Month 3 | 81 | -55.5% | 29.3% | 72 | -33.4% | 35.8% |
| WOMAC Pain % Change fromBaseline at Month 24 | 72 | -76.0% | 28.2% | 58 | -72.5% | 33.0% |
| WOMAC Function % Change fromBaseline at Month 3 | 81 | -52.2% | 32.0% | 75 | -24.3% | 37.0% |
| WOMAC Function % Change fromBaseline at Month 24 | 72 | -73.9% | 29.6% | 64 | -67.1% | 35.8% |
The results for the secondary endpoint are outlined in Table 8 below:
{10}------------------------------------------------
The results from the study supported superiority of the Calypso Knee group compared to the Control (HTO) group in four of the five secondary endpoints. The one endpoint that the data did not support superiority for the Calypso Knee group was the WOMAC Pain % change from Baseline at Month 24.
Safety Analysis
There were no Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects as determined by the independent medical monitor for both the Calypso Knee group and Control (HTO) group. All deviceand procedure-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were considered expected complications. There were 11 removals (11/81. 13.58%) and 3 reoperations (3/81, 3.70%) for the Calypso Knee group and 61 removals (61/81, 75.31%), 1 revision (1/81, 1.23%), and 7 reoperations (7/81, 8.64%) for the Control (HTO) group. Note that the HTO plate can be electively removed after completing bone consolidation.
SAEs for the Calypso Knee group included 4 deep incisional surgical site infection (4/81, 4.94%) and 4 due to pain (4/81, 4.94%). Additional SAEs include nerve injury to a nerve resulting in motor or sensory symptoms, scar formation, discomfort, and cellulitis.
Pediatric Extrapolation
In this De Novo request, existing clinical data were not leveraged to support the use of the device in a pediatric patient population.
LABELING
The labeling consists of the following: device description, indications for use, instructions for use including surgical steps (e.g., device selection and placement), principles of device operation, identification of device materials, contraindications, warnings, precautions, a list of potential adverse effects, and summary of the clinical data. Furthermore, the sterile packaging includes a shelf-life for the device. The labeling meets the requirements of 21 CFR 801.109 for prescription devices.
TRAINING
The surgical technique program consisted of slides that walk the surgeon through each step of the procedure to implant the MISHATM Knee System. The surgical technique training also provides insight on proper patient selection, surgical procedures, selection of appropriate implant size, instrumentation for implantation, indications for use of the device, contraindications, warnings, and precautions. A trained representative may be present to support surgical procedures.

SPECIAL CONTROLS
In combination with the general controls of the FD&C Act, the medial knee implanted shock absorber is subject to the following special controls:
- Clinical data must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated (1) conditions of use and include the following:
- Evaluation of improvement of knee function and reduction of osteoarthritis (i) symptoms, including pain and function; and
- (ii) Evaluation of relevant adverse events.
- (2) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use and include the following:
- (i) Evaluation of the mechanical function and durability of the implant (including evaluation of absorber unloading capacity, fretting and corrosion, static strength, wear analysis, and fatigue testing); and
- (ii) Evaluation of worst-case device range of motion.
{12}------------------------------------------------
- (3) The patient-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
- Performance data must support the sterility and pyrogenicity of the device components (4) intended to be sterile.
- (5) Performance data must validate the reprocessing instructions for the reusable components of the device.
- (6) Performance data must support the shelf life of the device by demonstrating continued sterility, package integrity, and device functionality over the identified shelf-life.
- (7) A training program must be included so that upon completion of the training program, the user can safely and successfully implant the device.
- (8) Labeling must include the following:
- Validated methods and instructions for reprocessing of any reusable components; (i) and
- (ii) A shelf-life.
BENEFIT-RISK DETERMINATION
BENEFITS:
-
- The clinical study demonstrates the MISHATM Knee System leads to clinically meaningful improvements in knee function and symptoms (e.g., reduction in pain) that are maintained over time to at least 24 months;
-
- Performance has been demonstrated to be non-inferior to High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO);
-
- The MISHATM Knee System secondary endpoint results (Return to Full Wait Bearing, Improved WOMAC Pain and Function Scores from baseline at 3 months, Improved WOMAC Function Scores from baseline at 24 months) support clinically meaningful, patient-valued benefits at a magnitude similar to, or numerically greater than, those observed with the Control HTO:
-
- The MISHATM Knee System does not require any bone cutting and maintains the natural joint surface compared to the Control HTO;
-
- Preserves the knee joint for future surgeries compared to the Control HTO.
RISKS:
-
- Adverse events of the index knee including pain, discomfort, unanticipated adverse device effects, subsequent surgical interventions, loosening and migration, and revision, including revision due to device wear, screw back out, or device failure;
-
- Adverse tissue reactions due to device materials, fretting and corrosion, and wear particulates:
-
- Infection:
-
- Loss of implant integrity;
-
- Ligament or nerve injury.
Based on the totality of the evidence, the MISHATM Knee System demonstrated a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the device for its intended use/indications for use. While there is a low degree of uncertainty in this finding due to the missing data from the control group in the clinical study and removal rate for the MISHA™ Knee System, the risks are not greater than HTO. To address the concerns of the longer-term safety and benefits of the MISHATM Knee System, the sponsor will be conducting a five (5) year 522 Postmarket
{13}------------------------------------------------
Surveillance Study. In addition, the MISHA™ Knee System demonstrated improvement on the WOMAC pain and function scores over the course of the clinical study. In conclusion, the benefits of using the MISHATM Knee System for its intended use/indications for use outweigh the probable risks to health.
Patient Perspectives
Patient perspectives considered for the Misha Knee System during the review include:
- WOMAC Pain and Function Scores .
- KSS Satisfaction Scores .
Benefit/Risk Conclusion
In conclusion, given the available information above, for the following indication statement:
"The MISHA™ Knee System is indicated for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis that have failed to find relief in surgical and/or non-surgical treatment modalities and are still experiencing pain that interferes with activities of daily living and are also unwilling to undergo or ineligible for total knee replacement due to age or absence of advanced osteoarthritis."
The probable benefits outweigh the probable risks for the MISHATM Knee System. The device provides benefits, and the risks can be mitigated by the general controls and the identified special controls.
