Intended Use

The Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are intended for use in total knee replacement surgery for patients suffering from severe pain and disability due to permanent structural damage resulting from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, collagen disorders, pseudogout, trauma or failed prior surgical intervention.

Device Description

The DePuy Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are posterior lipped, cruciate retaining or stabilized tibial inserts with the same design and intended use as the tibial inserts cleared in K033272. The subject inserts are manufactured from XLK Crossfinked Polycthylene. The Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are intended for use with the Sigma Co-Cr Tibial Trays previously cleared in K032151, and the Darwin femoral components, previously cleared in K943462.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (DePuy Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts) and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through mechanical wear testing. It does not contain information about a clinical study involving human readers or the components typically found in such a study (like acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy, expert review, training sets, etc.).

However, I can extract the information provided regarding the mechanical wear performance.

Acceptance Criteria and Study for DePuy Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts

The study described is an in-vitro knee simulator wear test, not a clinical study involving human readers or diagnostic performance. The "acceptance criteria" here relate to the wear performance of the device compared to predicate devices.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Parameter/CriteriaAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Gravimetric WearTo exhibit similar or less wear than the predicate Darwin tibial inserts. Explicit numerical acceptance for "less wear" is not stated, but the claim is for a significant reduction.The DePuy XLK Sigma Tibial Inserts exhibit 89% less gravimetric wear than previously cleared Johnson & Johnson Darwin tibial inserts.
Mechanical PerformancePerform similarly to Sigma and Darwin Inserts in mechanical testing.Mechanical testing shows similar performance.

Note: The document explicitly states: "The results of in-vitro wear tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms." This is an important disclaimer.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (Wear Test):
    • DePuy Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts: n = 3 (Size 3, 10mm cruciate retaining)
    • Johnson & Johnson Darwin (PFC Sigma) Tibial Inserts (predicate): n = 6 (Size 3, 10mm cruciate retaining)
  • Data Provenance: The data is from an in-vitro knee simulator wear study conducted by the manufacturer, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (USA). This is a laboratory-based study, not a clinical study involving human patients or data from a specific country of origin in the context of clinical outcomes.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

This information is not applicable to this document. The study described is an in-vitro mechanical wear test, not a study requiring expert consensus for a ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable to this document, as there was no expert review or adjudication in this in-vitro mechanical study.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This document focuses on the mechanical performance and substantial equivalence of a medical implant, not the diagnostic efficacy of an imaging device or AI algorithm.

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

Not applicable. This document is about a knee implant, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" in this context is the measured gravimetric wear of the tibial inserts under controlled laboratory conditions using a knee joint simulator, based on physical material loss.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This study is not an AI algorithm study and therefore has no training set.

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

Not applicable. As there is no training set mentioned, there is no ground truth to establish for it in this context.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The DePuy Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are posterior lipped, cruciate retaining or stabilized tibial inserts with the same design and intended use as the tibial inserts cleared in K033272. The subject inserts are manufactured from XLK Crossfinked Polycthylene. The Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are intended for use with the Sigma Co-Cr Tibial Trays previously cleared in K032151, and the Darwin femoral components, previously cleared in K943462.

When tested with DePuy Sigma Co-Cr Tibial Trays, the DePuy XLK Sigma Tibial Inserts exhibit 89% less gravimetric wear than previously cleared Johnson & Johnson Darwin tibial inserts tested with Johnson & Johnson PFC tibial trays. This claim is supported by 5 million cycle knee simulator wear data. The products tested were Size 3 Sigma Co-Cr Tibial Trays mated with Size 3, 10mm cruciate retaining Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts (n= 3) compared to Size 3 PFC Titanium Trays mated with Size 3, 10mm cruciate retaining Darwin (PFC Sigma) Tibial Inserts (n= 6). Both sets of inserts were articulated against Size 3 cast Co-Cr PFC Sigma cruciate retaining, non-porous coated femoral components. All tibial trays and femoral components were sterilized using ganma irradiation. The Sigma XLK inserts were sterilized using gas plasma sterilization. The Darwin Tibiah Inserts were sterilized using gamma vacuum foil (GVF) sterilization and packaging. Testing was conducted on a AMTI multi-axial displacement controlled knee joint simulator using bovine serum as a lubricant.

Koholl

The results of in-vitro wear tests have not been shown to correlate with clinical wear mechanisms.

INTENDED USE AND INDICATIONS:

The Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts are intended for use in total knee replacement surgery for patients suffering from severe pain and disability due to permanent structural damage resulting from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, collagen disorders, pseudogout, trauma or failed prior surgical intervention.

BASIS OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts have the same design and intended use as the Sigma Inserts cleared in K033272. Mechanical testing shows that the Sigma XLK Tibial Inserts perform similarly to the Sigma and Darwin Inserts but exhibit less wear in knee simulator testing. Based on similarities in design, material, manufacturing method and intended use, DePuy believes that the Sigma Tibial XLK Inserts are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Sigma and Darwin Tibial Inserts.

Over-The-Counter Use ________

§ 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.
