The profile and sizing (Sizes 1, 2, 3 & 4) of the ADVANCE® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial components are identical to the ADVANCE® Unicondylar all-poly tibial components (510(k): K012591). The cement interface for the ADVANCE® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial components consist of a peripheral dovetail and two pegs and is substantially equivalent to the cement interface of the ADVANCE® Unicondylar all-poly tibial components (510(k): K012591). The articulating surface is identical for both the ADVANCE® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial insert and the all-poly tibial component (510(k): K012591). The locking mechanism for the ADVANCE® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial components is substantially equivalent to the ADVANTIM® Unicondylar modular metalbacked tibial components (510(k): K881779).

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the ADVANCE® Unicondylar Knee System, specifically for an enhancement to the system by adding a modular titanium metal-backed UHMWPE tibial component. It is a premarket notification to the FDA, demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than a study proving performance against specific acceptance criteria in the traditional sense of a clinical trial for a novel device.

Therefore, many of the requested elements (like sample size for test sets, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and sample size/ground truth for training sets) are not applicable or available in this type of regulatory submission.

The document demonstrates compliance through "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared devices. This means the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device (the predicate device) that is already on the market.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the applicable points:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (in the context of Substantial Equivalence)

Acceptance Criteria (Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (as demonstrated by comparison)
Intended Use (Must be the same as or very similar to predicate devices)The ADVANCE® Unicondylar Knee System has an identical intended use to previously cleared devices (K012591 and K881779) for knee arthroplasty to reduce pain/improve function in skeletally mature patients with specified conditions (degenerative joint disease, inflammatory disease, functional deformity, revision procedures, unmanageable fractures) and unicompartmental joint disease with intact ligaments.
Material (Must be the same as or bioequivalent to predicate devices)Tibial Insert Material: UHMWPE, identical to the material used for the ADVANCE® Unicondylar All-Poly Tibial Component (K012591) and the ADVANTIM® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial base (K881779). Tibial Base Material: Titanium, identical to the material used for the ADVANTIM® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial base (K881779).
Cement Interface (Must be substantially equivalent to predicate devices)Design: 2 pegs with a peripheral dovetail. Performance: Substantially equivalent to the ADVANCE® Unicondylar All-Poly Tibial Component (K012591).
Articulating Surface (Must be identical or substantially equivalent)Design: Identical to the articulating surface used on the ADVANCE® Unicondylar All-Poly Tibial Component (K012591).
Profile/Sizing (Must be identical or substantially equivalent)Design: Identical profile and sizing scheme (Sizes 1, 2, 3 & 4) as the ADVANCE® Unicondylar All-Poly Tibial Component (K012591).
Locking Mechanism (For modular components, compared to similar predicate designs)Design: Peripheral lock. Performance: Substantially equivalent to the ADVANTIM® Unicondylar modular metal-backed tibial components (K881779). This feature is not applicable to the all-poly component as it is one piece.
Overall Safety and Effectiveness (Supported by substantial equivalence information, materials data, and testing results)The safety and effectiveness of the ADVANCE® Unicondylar Knee System are adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials data, and testing results provided within this Premarket Notification, concluding it is substantially equivalent to the ADVANTIM® Unicondylar Femoral component (K881779) and other previously cleared predicate devices.

Important Note: The "device performance" in this context refers to the demonstration of equivalence to existing devices, not clinical outcomes from a new study against specific performance metrics for a novel technology.

Study Details (as inferable from a 510(k) submission)

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. A 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence generally does not involve a "test set" or clinical study with patient data in the way a novel device might. The "test set" here would be the design features and materials compared against predicate devices. The data provenance is regulatory history of predicate devices (K012591, K881779) and material performance data which would be referenced but not detailed in this summary.

  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. "Ground truth" in this context is established by the design specifications and regulatory clearances of the predicate devices themselves, as well as established industry standards for materials and mechanical testing (though specific experts for this are not mentioned in this summary).

  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.

  4. 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 device is a knee implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic device.

  6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence is the safety and effectiveness profile of the legally marketed predicate devices, as established by their prior FDA clearances and accepted manufacturing standards. This includes material specifications (ASTM F136 for titanium, UHMWPE), design parameters, and functional characteristics.

  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning/AI device.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

INDICATIONS STATEMENT

§ 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.
