Intended Use

The Columbus Total Knee System (PS) is indicated for use in reconstruction of the diseased knee joint caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, the need to revise failed arthroplasties or osteotomies where pain, deformity or dysfunction persist, and for patients suffering from correctable valgus or varus deformity and moderate flexion contracture.

Posterior Stabilized (PS) components are also for absent or non-functioning posterior cruciate ligament and severe anteroposterior instability of the knee joint.

The Columbus Knee (PS) is designed for use with bone cement.

Device Description

The cemented Columbus Knee System (PS) is available with one femoral design, the Posterior Stabilizing (PS) which offers stabilization if the ligament (PCL) is absent, weakened or sacrificed during implantation. The design of the femoral component, and tibial plateau (tray) are manufactured from CoCrMo. The tibial "gliding surfaces" (inserts) and patellas are manufactured from UHMWPE.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Columbus Total Knee System and its 510(k) summary. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria for a study, nor does it detail a study proving device performance against such criteria.

The document is a submission to the FDA for market clearance (510(k)). This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to already legally marketed devices, rather than conducting new clinical trials to prove performance against specific acceptance criteria.

The "PERFORMANCE DATA" section (page 1 of 2 in {1}) states:

"All required testing per 'Draft Guidance for the Preparation of Premarket Notifications (510(k)s) for Cemented, Semi-constrained Total Knee Prostheses' were completed. Biomechanical testing results demonstrate the Columbus Knee System is substantially equivalent to other knee systems currently on the market."

This indicates that standard biomechanical tests relevant to knee prostheses were performed to show that the new device behaves similarly to existing, approved devices. It does not provide specific acceptance criteria or detailed study results in the format requested.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as this information is not present in the provided text.

To directly answer your numbered points based on the provided text, while acknowledging the absence of the requested data:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as pass/fail thresholds for clinical performance. The "acceptance criteria" here implicitly refer to meeting the requirements for demonstrating substantial equivalence based on biomechanical testing as outlined in the relevant FDA guidance document.
    • Reported Device Performance: "Biomechanical testing results demonstrate the Columbus Knee System is substantially equivalent to other knee systems currently on the market." No specific performance metrics (e.g., range of motion, wear rates, failure rates) are provided.
  2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • No information on sample size for any test set or data provenance is provided. The testing described is biomechanical testing, which typically involves laboratory testing of device components or constructs, not human subjects, and thus does not have "data provenance" in the clinical sense.
  3. 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. The document describes biomechanical testing, not studies that require expert-established ground truth for a test set (e.g., image interpretation, disease diagnosis).
  4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable. This refers to clinical study design for establishing ground truth, which is not present here.
  5. 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:

    • No MRMC or human reader study was conducted or mentioned. This device is a mechanical implant, not an AI diagnostic tool.
  6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant, not an algorithm. However, the biomechanical testing mentioned could be considered a "standalone" evaluation of the device's physical properties.
  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The "ground truth" for biomechanical testing typically relies on engineering standards, material properties, and comparison to the performance of predicate devices under standardized loading conditions. No clinical ground truth (expert consensus, pathology) is relevant here.
  8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. No training set for an AI algorithm is involved.

Dear Ms. Kilroy:

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.

(per 21 CFR 801.109)

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

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