Intended Use

Palamed* is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone.

Device Description

Palamed® is an acrylic bone cement for use in orthopedic surgery. It is formed from powder and liquid by exothermic polymerization. It secures the fixation of the grafted artificial joint improving the transfer of forces at the interface implant - bone.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary for a bone cement device (PALAMED®), rather than a study report describing acceptance criteria and device performance based on a study. Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from the provided text.

The document states that the PALAMED® device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device (PALAMED® 510k (Merck) K010586). This substantial equivalence is based on the comparison of technological characteristics, implying that the device's performance is expected to be similar to the predicate device, which has already met regulatory requirements.

Here's what can be extracted based on the nature of the document:

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

This information is not explicitly provided in the 510(k) summary. The summary focuses on substantiating equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing specific acceptance criteria and reporting performance against them. For bone cement, acceptance criteria would typically involve various mechanical, physical, and chemical properties (e.g., setting time, strength, porosity, biocompatibility), but these specific values are not listed here. The "reported device performance" in this context is implicitly that it performs equivalently to the predicate device.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

Not applicable to this document. The 510(k) summary does not describe a new study with a test set in the way a clinical trial or a performance study would. It relies on the equivalence to an already marketed device.

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. There's no test set in the described context for which ground truth was established by experts.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable.

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:

Not applicable. This is not a study involving human readers or AI.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This is a medical device (bone cement), not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

Not applicable in the context of establishing ground truth for a new algorithm or diagnostic test. For bone cement, the "ground truth" would be established by validated test methods for its physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, and its safe and effective clinical use as demonstrated by historical data on the predicate device.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a training set.

In summary, the provided text is a regulatory submission for device clearance based on substantial equivalence, not a detailed study report demonstrating performance against specific acceptance criteria for a new device design.

Dear Dr. Kühn:

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
