The Vanguard 360 Revision Knee System is a total knee replacement system intended for use in primary or revision total knee joint arthroplasty. The system is comprised of a series of femoral and tibial components (bearings and trays) designed to work in conjunction with patella components and optional auxiliary components, including stem extensions, offset adaptors, and tibial and femoral augments. This submission includes a modification to the screw hole location in the 57.5mm Vanguard 360 Posterior Femoral Augments and a subcomponent design and material change in the Vanguard 360 Bowed Stem Extension Trials.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Biomet Vanguard 360 Revision Knee System. This type of submission is for medical devices seeking clearance from the FDA by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials.
As such, the document does not describe a study that validates the device against acceptance criteria in the manner typically associated with AI/ML diagnostic or prognostic devices. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating that the modifications to the existing device (Vanguard 360 Revision Knee System) are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and do not introduce new risks.
Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/ML device studies (like sample size for test set, ground truth experts, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this document.
However, I can extract information related to the performance data presented to support substantial equivalence for the modifications to the device itself.
Here's an analysis based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
Since this is a 510(k) for a mechanical device modification, the "acceptance criteria" are generally related to demonstrating mechanical equivalency and safety, not diagnostic performance. The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in a detailed table as one would expect for an AI diagnostic. Instead, it refers to "Performance data has demonstrated that the proposed devices are at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device."
| Criterion Type | Acceptance Criteria (Implied for Substantial Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Integrity | Demonstrate that the modified components maintain equivalent mechanical properties and fit as the predicate device, ensuring safety and effectiveness. | 57.5mm Posterior Femoral Augments:- Tolerance Analysis Report: Submitted and reviewed (implies meeting design tolerances).- Fit Evaluation: Submitted and reviewed (implies proper fit with existing components).Bowed Stem Trials:- Pull Force Comparison: Data was generated and submitted (implies comparable mechanical strength, specifically pull-out resistance, to the existing trials, suggesting the 416 SST cylindrical pin does not compromise structural integrity). |
| Material Equivalence | Ensure that new materials or modified components maintain biocompatibility and structural integrity. | For augments: "There are no changes to the augment materials..."For bowed stem trials: "materials of the stem, barrel, and shaft are unchanged (Ti-6Al-4V and 17-4PH SST)." The new subcomponent is 416 SST, which is a known and accepted material in medical devices. |
| Functional Equivalence | Demonstrate the modification does not alter the intended function or clinical performance. | "The subject augments have similar technological characteristics as the predicate.""The subject bowed stem extension trials also have similar characteristics as the existing trials." The screw hole location change and pin change are considered minor and not affecting overall function in a way that would require new clinical data. |
| Safety and Effectiveness | The modified device must be at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device, with no new risks of safety or efficacy introduced. | "Performance data has demonstrated that the proposed devices are at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device.""Based on the similarities in design, function, intended use and fundamental scientific technology, the devices that are the subject of this submission are similar to the predicate devices and do not introduce any new risks of safety or efficacy." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
- Not Applicable. This document describes non-clinical testing of mechanical components (tolerance analysis, fit evaluation, pull force comparison) for demonstrating substantial equivalence. These are laboratory-based tests of physical parts, not clinical trials or AI algorithm performance tests with patient data. No "test set" of patient data is mentioned.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
- Not Applicable. As no clinical "test set" or ground truth based on expert review is used, this information is not relevant to this submission. The "ground truth" here is the engineering specifications and performance of the predicate device against which the modified components are compared.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not Applicable. No expert adjudication of clinical data occurred.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not Applicable. This is a medical device for knee arthroplasty, not an AI diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. This device is a mechanical knee replacement system, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" or reference is established through engineering specifications, material science principles, and comparison to the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device. For instance, the "pull force comparison" implies a standard mechanical test with a measurable outcome compared against a known baseline for the predicate.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This device did not involve AI/ML development, so there is no training set of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. No training set was used.

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
