Intended Use

The Symmetric Unicompanimental Knee System is for Cemented Use Only and is indicated for restroing efther compartment of a knee that has been damaged by rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, failed osteotomies or hemiarthroplasties.

Device Description

The Symmetric Unicompartmental Knee System is intended for the resurfacing of one side of the knee joint. The system consists of metallic femoral and tibial components and a polyethylene tibial insert. The FEMORAL COMPONENT is symmetrically designed eliminating the need for left/right orientations. The femoral component is manufactured from cast cobalt chromium/molybdenum (CoCrMo) and features a central peg, which aids in stabilization. A central strut is provided for rotational stability and added strength. The femoral component will be available in five sizes (1-5) and will be porous coated with Commercial Pure Titanium (CPTi). The TIBIAL COMPONENT is a symmetrically designed component, eliminating the need for left/right orientations. The tibial component is manufactured from wrought titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The tibial tray features a central fin and four pegs on the underside aiding in rotational stabilization. A screw hole is in the center of the tibial tray for optional screw fixation. The tibial tray is designed with locking features permitting the UHMWPE tibial insert to be snapped into place. The tibial tray has 5 sizes (1 - 5) and is porous coated with Commercial Pure Titanium (CPT)). The TIBIAL INSERT is also a symmetrically designed component manufactured from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (ASTM F648). The inserts' articulating geometry is semi-constrained and is captured in the tibial tray by the mating capture features. The insert is available in 5 thicknesses (6, 8, 10, 12, and 14mm) and 5 sizes (1 - 5).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the "Symmetric Unicompartmental Knee System" and its 510(k) summary for FDA clearance. However, it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria related to AI or diagnostic accuracy.

The document is a regulatory submission for a medical device (a knee implant) and focuses on describing the device, its components, and its substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices based on design and materials, rather than a diagnostic performance study.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information in the format of the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth, expert opinions, or MRMC studies because this type of data is not present in the provided text.

The closest relevant information, though not directly addressing your prompt, is:

  • "Push-out strength test results on the tibial tray insert are comparable to other legally marketed devices." This implies a mechanical performance test was conducted, and its results were deemed equivalent to competitor devices, but no specifics on acceptance criteria or the study itself are detailed.

tray for optional screw fixation. The tibial tray is designed with locking features permitting the UHMWPE tibial insert to be snapped into place. The tibial tray has 5 sizes (1 - 5) and is porous coated with Commercial Pure Titanium (CPT)).

The TIBIAL INSERT is also a symmetrically designed component manufactured from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (ASTM F648). The inserts' articulating geometry is semi-constrained and is captured in the tibial tray by the mating capture features. The insert is available in 5 thicknesses (6, 8, 10, 12, and 14mm) and 5 sizes (1 - 5).

Push-out strength test results on the tibial tray insert are comparable to other legally marketed devices.

The Symmetric Unicompartmental Knee System is also similar to the Howmedica PCA Unicompartmental Knee System, the Johnson & Johnson PFC Unicompartmental Knee System, and the Smith & Nephew Genesis Unicompartmental Knee.

Dear Mr. Palfi:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

§ 888.3530 Knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
