The Smith & Nephew Patello-Femoral Implant is indicated for replacement of the femoral side of the patello-femoral joint. It is intended to be used in patellofemoral arthroplasty in patients with degenerative arthritis in the distal femur and patients with a history of patellar dislocation or patellar fracture, and patients with failed previous surgery (arthroplasty, tibial tubercle elevation, and lateral release) where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists. The components are for single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.
The Smith & Nephew Patello-Femoral Components are intended to replace the patellofemoral articulating surface of the femur. The components will be manufactured from Oxinium and will be initially manufactured in sizes x-small, medium, and large. Each size will be provided in both left and right configurations. The trochlear groove geometry is the same geometry as found with the Smith & Nephew Genesis II Total Knee Femoral Component subject of K951987.
This is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (knee implant), which relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting new clinical studies to prove effectiveness or establish acceptance criteria based on performance metrics. Therefore, the provided text does not contain information on acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, or most of the other requested details regarding clinical performance evaluation.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and why other points cannot be addressed:
Device Information and Equivalence
- Device Name: Smith & Nephew Patello-Femoral Knee Implant
- Intended Use: Replacement of the femoral side of the patello-femoral joint in patients with:
- Degenerative arthritis in the distal femur and patella.
- A history of patellar dislocation or patellar fracture.
- Failed previous surgery (arthroplasty, tibial tubercle elevation, lateral release) where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists.
- Predicate Device: Howmedica Osteonics Avon™ Patello-Femoral Joint Prosthesis (K010100 and K041160). The Smith & Nephew Patella Type 1 (preamendment) is also mentioned as similar. The submission asserts "substantial equivalence" based on similar design features, overall indications, and materials to these predicate devices.
What cannot be extracted from the provided text:
The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence, not a clinical trial report. As such, the concept of "acceptance criteria" for performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or reader improvement is not applicable in this context. The document focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, primarily through comparison of design, materials, and intended use, rather than through new clinical performance studies that establish quantitative endpoints.
Therefore, the following points cannot be answered from the provided text because they relate to the performance evaluation of the device through studies with specific acceptance criteria and ground truth, which are not part of a 510(k) summary focused on substantial equivalence for this type of device:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not applicable for a 510(k) submission of this nature.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: No new clinical test set is described.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Ground truth establishment is not described for new clinical data.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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 device is a physical implant, not an AI-based diagnostic tool.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used: Ground truth for performance is not established and reported in this document.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" as this is not an AI/algorithm-based device and no new clinical data is presented for that purpose.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
§ 888.3540 Knee joint patellofemoral polymer/metal semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemoral polymer/metal semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint in the treatment of primary patellofemoral arthritis or chondromalacia. 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 a component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum or austenitic steel, for resurfacing the intercondylar groove (femoral sulcus) on the anterior aspect of the distal femur, and a patellar component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those devices intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). The patellar component is designed to be implanted only with its femoral component.(b)
