This is a duplicate 510k and line extension in Link Bio Corp.'s name for the accessory instrument system previously cleared in K151008 by Waldemar Link GmbH & Co KG for use with/as accessories to the LINK® MEGASYSTEM-C® and in conjunction with components of LINK® Endo-Model® SL® Rotating and Non- Rotating Hinge Knee, LINK® Endo-Model® Knee System (#K143179) and LINK® MP® Reconstruction Prosthesis (#K142187). It includes the same instruments as in K151008, and additional accessory instruments (line extension).
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for surgical instruments used in knee and hip replacement (Trade/Device Name: Instruments for LINK® MEGASYSTEM-C® Family). This submission is a duplicate 510(k) and line extension for accessory instruments previously cleared under K151008.
Based on the provided document, the device in question is a set of manual reusable surgical instruments, not an AI/ML-driven device or a device that generates diagnostic data that would typically have acceptance criteria related to sensitivity, specificity, or similar performance metrics. The document explicitly states:
"Extensive performance testing was provided in K151008 for the implant system, but is not required for the accessory instruments."
And regarding technological characteristics:
"The accessory instruments presented in K151008 are exactly replicated in this duplicate 510k. Additional reusable manual surgical instruments included as a line extension are for the same purpose (to support implantation of the same Waldemar Link GmbH implant systems) as the existing instrument system, with no significant differences in technological features, materials, or intended use."
Therefore, the following information cannot be extracted from this document as it pertains to AI/ML or data-driven diagnostic devices, which this product is not:
- Acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in terms of diagnostic accuracy or similar metrics)
- Sample size for the test set and data provenance
- Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth establishment
- Adjudication method
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study results
- Standalone performance
- Type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Sample size for the training set
- How ground truth for the training set was established
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K151008) based on the instruments being identical or having minor design modifications that do not change their intended use or function. No "study" in the sense of a clinical trial or performance evaluation against specific diagnostic metrics is mentioned for these instruments.

§ 888.3510 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
