Intended Use

This device is indicated in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patello femoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts if the knee can be satisfactorily balanced and stabilized at the time of surgery.

This device system is designed for cemented use only.

Device Description

The design of the UKNEE Total Knee System covers both of the cruciate retaining and posterior stabilized types. It is a patellofemorotibia, polymer/metal/polymer, semi-constrained, cemented knee prosthesis, which has a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy femoral component and tibial component composed of a insert, machined from compressed molded UHMWPE flat, mechanical locked with metallic tibial baseplate. There are two types of tibial baseplate component, one is one piece with grooved but without beaded porous coating and the other is modular, with and/or without beaded porous coating, locked with a keeled or round stem by means of Morse Taper. The cruciate retaining type of femoral component has w/ and w/o beaded porous coating design, and the posterior stabilized type has only w/o. The porous coating with two layers of beads has an about 55% of porosity, a 440 um of average pore size, and its thickness is 1.2 +0/+0.3 mm. The patellar components are machined from extruded UHMWPE bar and designed for cemented use only.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the UKNEE Total Knee System, based on the provided document:

UKNEE Total Knee System

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document describes various tests performed on the UKNEE Total Knee System and compares its performance to predicate devices. It does not explicitly state pre-defined "acceptance criteria" with numerical targets for each test, but rather presents the results and concludes that the device performs "as well or better than the predicate device in all areas tested" and is "substantial equivalent" to the predicate devices.

Here's a table summarizing the reported performance, with the understanding that "acceptance" is implicitly defined by being comparable or superior to the predicate devices:

Test / Performance MetricStated Acceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported UKNEE Total Knee System PerformanceComparison to Predicate Devices
Range of Motion0° to 115°0° to 115°Satisfies "necessary needs of daily life and general activities."

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each of the physical tests (e.g., number of components tested for Morse taper strength, number of baseplates for cyclic fatigue). It refers to "test data," but specific N values are not provided.

The data provenance is not explicitly stated. These are in vitro mechanical engineering tests performed on the physical device components, not clinical data from patients. Therefore, terms like "country of origin of the data," "retrospective," or "prospective" are not applicable in the human clinical sense. The tests were likely conducted by the manufacturer, United Orthopedic Corporation, based in Taiwan.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth for Test Set

This section is not applicable as the document describes in vitro mechanical testing of physical implants, not diagnostic or clinical performance requiring expert ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This section is not applicable as the document describes in vitro mechanical testing of physical implants, not diagnostic or clinical performance requiring adjudication.

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

This section is not applicable. The UKNEE Total Knee System is a physical joint replacement implant (a medical device), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is irrelevant.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

This section is not applicable. The UKNEE Total Knee System is a physical joint replacement implant, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance claims are the results of standardized mechanical and physical tests performed on the device components, often compared against established ASTM standards and data from predicate devices. For material properties, the ground truth is the measured property values meeting ASTM standards. For mechanical performance, the ground truth is the measured force, torque, motion, or fatigue response under specified test conditions.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This section is not applicable. The UKNEE Total Knee System is a physical medical device. It does not involve machine learning or AI models, and therefore does not have a "training set" in that context. The design and manufacturing process would involve engineering principles and material science, not data training.

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

This section is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of medical device.

The data that United Orthopedic Corporation included in this submission show the UKNEE Total Knee System (Cruciate retaining type and posterior stabilized type) is safe and effective. The UKNEE Total Knee System comprises a femoral component, which articulates with a fully polyethylene insert component. The underside of the insert component is flat and is snapped into the metal tibial component. The modular (snap-fit) locking mechanism of the insert components has proven to be safe and effective in the clinical area. The design and sizing of the femoral component correspond to the natural femoral anatomy, enhancing stress distribution and contributing to restore original femoral dimensions and normal rotation, extension and flexion. Each size of femur has the same intercondylar distance and radius of curvature; this feature is replicated on the insert component, thus allowing any size of femur to be matched with any size of tibial component. The dome shape all UHMWPE patellar design provides excellent contact and even distribution of stresses, simplifies implantation by eliminating need for rotational orientation. Test data indicate the UKNEE Total Knee System performs as well or better than the predicate device in all areas tested. Materials used in the manufacture of the UKNEE Total Knee System meet the property requirements of the ASTM standards associated with each material.
