The indications for the PAR 5 Acetabular component are as follows:
- Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Correction of functional deformity
- Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck fractures, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques
- Revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed
The PAR 5 Acetabular Component is a hemispherical metallic acetabular cup, which can accept a modular hook, ilium flange, and/or a modular ischial blade. The shell accepts a standard Ringloc® liner. The outer surface of the shells has porous coating. The shells are also available with or without hydroxyapatite (HA) coating.
The provided documentation is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the PAR 5 Acetabular Component, and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It explicitly states:
"Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence."
"Non-Clinical Testing: Substrate testing with an Engineering Justification determined that the modified PAR 5 Acetabular Components presented no new risks and were, therefore, substantially equivalent to the predicated device."
Therefore, the information typically required to describe acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria (especially related to AI/software performance) is not present in this document. This submission relies on an engineering justification and comparison to a predicate device rather than extensive clinical or statistical performance studies in humans.
Here's a breakdown of why each requested point cannot be answered:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not applicable. There are no performance metrics or acceptance criteria for a clinical or AI study described. The "performance" being evaluated is substantial equivalence based on material properties and design similarity to a predicate device.
- Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective): Not applicable. No test set for performance comparison is described.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience): Not applicable. There is no test set requiring ground truth establishment by experts.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable. No test set is described.
- 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 is a medical device (hip implant component), not an AI diagnostic tool.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable. No ground truth is established for device performance in this context. The "ground truth" for this 510(k) is the existing predicate device and its established safety and effectiveness.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No machine learning model or training set is involved.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable. No machine learning model or training set is involved.
In summary, this 510(k) submission for the PAR 5 Acetabular Component does not contain information about clinical performance studies or AI/software validation. The basis for its substantial equivalence is an engineering justification and comparison to a previously approved predicate device.
§ 888.3350 Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip 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 have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing 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.
