Intended Use

The Hybrid Knee Femoral Components are intended to be used for those patients whereby conditions exist that can not be solely addressed by a device that treats a single compartment (i.e. unicondylar or patellofemoral prosthesis) of the knee.

Indications include:

  • post-traumatic arthritis; .
  • degenerative arthritis; and ●
  • failed osteotomies, hemiarthroplasties; and unicompartmental replacement .

These indications will be used for the Hybrid Knee Femoral Components, whereby the medial condyle and patellofemoral regions have been affected by one or more of these conditions.

The Hybrid Knee Femoral Components are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.

Device Description

The Smith & Nephew Hybrid Knee Femoral Components are designed for use with tibial components of the Genesis I Unicondylar Knee System and patellar components of the Genesis II Total Knee System. The components are used to replace the medial condyle and patellofemoral regions of a femoral knee joint.

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for Smith & Nephew Hybrid Knee Femoral Components

Based on the provided document, the Smith & Nephew Hybrid Knee Femoral Components were cleared through a 510(k) premarket notification process, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than establishing specific performance acceptance criteria against a defined clinical outcome. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" here refers to the demonstration of equivalence through mechanical testing and comparison of design, indications, and materials.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific CriteriaReported Device Performance

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

The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical data for evaluating device performance. The assessment relies on mechanical test data and a comparison to existing devices. Therefore:

  • Sample size for test set: Not explicitly stated for mechanical testing, but general practice for such devices would involve multiple samples for various mechanical tests (e.g., fatigue, static strength).
  • Data provenance: Mechanical test data would typically be generated in a laboratory setting. Clinical "data provenance" (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not applicable here as a clinical study was not conducted to establish performance for this 510(k) submission.

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

This information is not applicable as the document describes a 510(k) submission relying on substantial equivalence, not a clinical study requiring expert ground truth establishment for a test set. The "ground truth" for mechanical performance is based on established engineering principles and benchmarks from predicate devices.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication is described.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not conducted or mentioned in the provided document. The submission relies on mechanical equivalence and comparison to predicate devices, not on a study demonstrating improved human reader performance with AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

This concept is not applicable as the device is a physical knee femoral component, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

For the mechanical performance, the "ground truth" can be considered as:

  • Established engineering standards and biomechanical principles: For evaluating the ability to withstand expected in vivo loading.
  • Performance of predicate legally marketed devices: The document states the mechanical data indicated equivalence to "devices currently used clinically," implying comparison to the established performance of existing predicate devices.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical implant, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

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

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical implant, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

Dear Ms. Kelly:

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.

§ 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.
