Intended Use

The RT-PLUS™ Knee System is a tri-compartmental rotating hinged prosthesis of the total condylar type. The system consists of femoral, tibial and patellar components. It is indicated for use as a replacement of the knee joint in which significant bone loss and/or ligamentous deficiencies have occurred due to tumors, trauma, infection, revision or connective tissue disorders. The RT-PLUS™ Modular Cemented Knee provides joint stability when any or all of the following structures are non-functional: MCL, LCL, PCL, ACL and the iliotibial band.

Device Description

The RT-PLUS™ Knee System is a tri-compartmental rotating hinged prosthesis of the total condylar type. The system consists of femoral, tibial and patellar components. The snapping mechanism of the PE tibial inserts for the RT-PLUS™ Device Knee System (S/E May 11, 2001 - K003504) has been modified by adding a clamp to secure the PE insert to the tibial component. All PE tibial inserts of the predicate device have been modified, and they are available in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and each size in 8 mm, 11 mm, 14 mm and 17 mm height.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the format requested.

The document describes a 510(k) submission for a modified medical device, the "RT-PLUS™ Knee System" (specifically, a modification to the PE tibial inserts). The core of the submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K003504).

Here's what the document does state regarding performance:

Performance Data:

  • Type of Study: Biomechanical tests were performed.
  • Results: "The test results of the modified components were superior to the predicate device and are sufficient for in vivo loading."

However, the document lacks the following information that you requested:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: While it states the modified device was "superior" and "sufficient," it doesn't provide specific numerical criteria or performance metrics.
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: No details on the number of samples tested or where the biomechanical test data originated.
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, as this was a biomechanical test, not an expert-driven diagnostic study.
  • Adjudication method: Not applicable for biomechanical testing.
  • Multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not mentioned. No information on human readers or AI assistance.
  • Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not mentioned, as this is a physical prosthetic device, not an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used: Not explicitly stated beyond "biomechanical tests."
  • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set or an AI algorithm.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided text is a 510(k) summary for a physical medical device modification and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through biomechanical testing, rather than presenting a clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way one might expect for a diagnostic or AI-driven device.

Predicate Device: RT-PLUS™ Knee System, K003504 - S/E 5/11/01

The snapping mechanism of the PE tibial inserts for the RT-PLUS™ Device Knee System (S/E May 11, 2001 - K003504) has been modified by Modification Description: adding a clamp to secure the PE insert to the tibial component. All PE tibial inserts of the predicate device have been modified, and they are available in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and each size in 8 mm, 11 mm, 14 mm and 17 mm height.

It is indicated for use as a replacement of the knee joint in which significant bone loss and/or ligamentous deficiencies have occurred due to tumors, trauma, infection, revision or connective tissue disorders. The RT-PLUS™ Modular Cemented Knee provides joint stability when any or all of the following structures are nonfunctional: MCL, LCL, PCL, ACL and the iliotibial band.
  • Contraindications: Contraindications include acute or chronic infections (local or systemic), serious lesions of muscles, nerves or blood vessels, which put the affected limb at risk, bony defects or poor bone quality, which might endanger the stability of the prosthesis, and any concurrent disease. which might interfere with the function of the implant.

Performance Biomechanical tests have been performed. The test results of the data: modified components were superior to the predicate device and are sufficient for in vivo loading.

Dear Mr. Loch;

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.

{2}------------------------------------------------

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.
