Device Description

TGS® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Modular Tibia System (Modular Tibia) is designed to be used with the TGS® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty System (K090024). The Modular Tibia is designed as a two piece construction including a tibial baseplate and a (poly) tibial insert. The tibial baseplate is composed of titanium alloy and is provided in six sizes. The tibial baseplate is indicated for cemented use only. The tibial insert is composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is provided in six sizes corresponding to each metal baseplate size. Each tibial insert size is provided in four thicknesses. The tibial insert assembles to a corresponding tibial baseplate with a snap-fit lock mechanism. The Modular Tibia is provided in right and left configurations for use in the medial or lateral tibiofemoral compartment of the knee. The Modular Tibia is packaged sterile with each tibial baseplate and each tibial insert packaged individually.

AI/ML Overview

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner for performance metrics. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on various characteristics, implying that if the device is substantially equivalent, it meets the necessary performance for market clearance. The comparison table below highlights the key characteristics reviewed.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical or large-scale performance testing with human data. The assessment for this device appears to rely on non-clinical bench testing and engineering analysis comparing it to predicate devices. Therefore, the concept of a "test set" with a specific sample size for device performance against ground truth (as might be seen in diagnostic AI) is not applicable here.
  • Data Provenance: The data provenance is from non-clinical bench testing and engineering analysis conducted by Alexandria Research Technologies, LLC as part of its premarket notification to the FDA. The country of origin for the data generation would be the USA (Plymouth, Minnesota), where the company is located. The nature of the data is prospective in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically for this submission.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • This submission does not involve human expert adjudication for establishing ground truth as it is a medical device for knee arthroplasty, not a diagnostic or AI algorithm. The "ground truth" equivalent would be established engineering principles, material science standards, and performance characteristics of legally marketed predicate devices.

4. Adjudication Method

  • Not applicable as there is no human adjudication process described for establishing "ground truth" to evaluate a diagnostic device.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned as this device is a physical implant, not a diagnostic tool where human readers interact with AI.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)

  • Not applicable as this device is a physical implant, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this submission is based on engineering and materials standards, mechanical testing results, and the established safety and effectiveness of legally marketed predicate devices. The goal was to demonstrate substantial equivalence to these predicates, meaning the device performs as intended and presents no new risks.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. There is no AI or algorithm involved that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The indications for use, principles of operation, materials, sizes, type of interface, fixation, packaging, and sterilization of the Modular Tibia are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices previously cleared for market. The safety and effectiveness of the Modular Tibia is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials data, and testing results provided within this premarket notification.

Non-Clinical Testing

The following bench testing and analysis has been performed to demonstrate that the TGS UKA Modular Tibia presented no new risks and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices:

  • Bench testing of the modular component interlock of subject and predicate devices. .
  • Engineering analysis of strength and fatigue properties of subject and predicate devices. .
  • . Engineering analysis of range of motion and contact area/stress of subject and predicate devices

Clinical Testing

Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device, the Modular Tibia, to the indicated predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Larson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA), You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical

§ 888.3520 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral condylar resurfacing component or components made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and are intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
