Intended Use

The GMK® Total Knee System is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty, if there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.

This knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases:

  • · Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis.
  • · Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle.
  • · Post traumatic loss of joint configuration.
  • · Primary implantation failure.

The tibial augments are to be attached to the tibial baseplate with both the fixing cylinders and bone cement.

In case a semi-constrained liner is used, an extension stem must be implanted both on the tibial and on the femoral components.

Device Description

This modification to the original Medacta GMK® (Global Medacta Knee) Total Knee System is a line extension to include the GMK® Revision SC (Semiconstrained) liners. The GMK® Revision SC liners work with components from the GMK® Total Knee System and from the GMK® Revision, a previously cleared Special 510(k) to the GMK® Total Knee System.

The GMK® Revision SC Liners, the subject of this 510(k), are a set of tibial inserts which work with the GMK® Revision femoral PS components and the GMK® tibial baseplates. These liners provide the surgeon with an additional option. The GMK® Revision SC Liners are offered in six sizes with seven thicknesses from 10 mm to 26 mm. The GMK® Revision SC Liners are attached to the GMK® tibial baseplates of the same size from the GMK® Total Knee System using a support peg made of CoCrMo. The device is used to replace the articular surface of the tibial plateau in the knee joint by limiting the movement of the prosthetic femoral component in translation and rotation. The GMK® Revision SC Liners attached to the GMK® tibial baseplates can also be combined with an extension stem, an offset connector and tibial wedges.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device (GMK® Total Knee System- Revision Semi-Constrained Liners), focusing on proving substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than a standalone performance study with a defined acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, several of the requested sections (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, MRMC study) are not applicable or cannot be extracted from this document, as they relate to studies typically conducted for devices that perform a measurement or diagnostic function.

However, I can provide information based on the performance testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Performance TestAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Static & Dynamic Testing (A/P Direction)Based on standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to predicate device system. (Details not specified, assumed to be within acceptable ranges for knee implants)Met all acceptance criteria.
Static Testing (M/L Direction)Based on standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to predicate device system. (Details not specified)Met all acceptance criteria.
Pullout Testing (SC liner to tibial baseplate)Based on standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to predicate device system. (Details not specified)Met all acceptance criteria.
Rotary/Laxity TestingBased on standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to predicate device system. (Details not specified)Met all acceptance criteria.
Varus/Valgus TestingBased on standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to predicate device system. (Details not specified)Met all acceptance criteria.
Range of MotionComparable to predicate device.Evaluated in comparison to predicate; testing met acceptance criteria.
Contact AreaComparable to predicate device.Evaluated in comparison to predicate; testing met acceptance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: The document states "The testing was conducted on the worst case component size and option/design based on engineering analysis." This implies a limited physical sample size, likely representative units for specific configurations, rather than a large statistical sample of clinical data.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by the manufacturer (Medacta International SA), likely in their own or contracted testing facilities. This is a retrospective analysis of the device's mechanical and functional properties against established engineering and regulatory benchmarks, not clinical data provenance.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This document describes mechanical performance testing of a knee implant component, not a diagnostic device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. This is not a study requiring adjudication of expert opinions. The "ground truth" for these tests would be the established engineering standards and design specifications.

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 a medical device (implantable knee component), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

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

Not applicable. This is a medical device (implantable knee component), not an algorithm. The "standalone" performance here refers to the device's mechanical integrity and function.

7. The type of ground truth used

The ground truth used for this type of submission is based on:

  • Established standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM for medical devices, though not explicitly stated which ones).
  • FDA guidance documents for knee prostheses.
  • Comparison to the predicate device system (GMK® Total Knee System, K090988), meaning the performance of the new device should be within the established parameters or comparable to the predicate.
  • Design specifications and risk analysis outcomes defined by the manufacturer.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.

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

Not applicable.

{1}------------------------------------------------

from the GMK® Total Knee System and from the GMK® Revision, a previously cleared Special 510(k) to the GMK® Total Knee System.

The GMK® Revision SC Liners, the subject of this 510(k), are a set of tibial inserts which work with the GMK® Revision femoral PS components and the GMK® tibial baseplates. These liners provide the surgeon with an additional option. The GMK® Revision SC Liners are offered in six sizes with seven thicknesses from 10 mm to 26 mm. The GMK® Revision SC Liners are attached to the GMK® tibial baseplates of the same size from the GMK® Total Knee System using a support peg made of CoCrMo. The device is used to replace the articular surface of the tibial plateau in the knee joint by limiting the movement of the prosthetic femoral component in translation and rotation. The GMK® Revision SC Liners attached to the GMK® tibial baseplates can also be combined with an extension stem, an offset connector and tibial wedges.

Indications for Use:

The GMK® Total Knee System is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty, if there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.

This knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases:

  • · Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis.
  • · Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle.
  • · Post traumatic loss of joint configuration.
  • · Primary implantation failure.

The tibial augments are to be attached to the tibial baseplate with both the fixing cylinders and bone cement.

In case a semi-constrined liner is used, an extension stem must be implanted both on the tibial and on the femoral components.

Comparison to Predicate Devices

The GMK® Total Knee System was cleared under K090988. GMK® Revision components, as a line extension, was cleared under a Special 510(k), K102437. The subject of this submission is the GMK® Revision SC liners, an additional line extension of this system.

The indications for use for the modified system remain the same as the original 510(k), K090988.

The GMK® Revision SC Liners are made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polvethylene (UHMWPE), the same material and processing, as is used in the GMK® Total Knee System's standard, ultracongruent, and posteriorstabilized (PS) tibial inserts and patellas. Like the GMK® Total Knee System's PS tibial inserts, the GMK® Revision SC liners are attached to the GMK® fixed bearing tibial baseplates, cleared in the original GMK® Total

Knee System. They are attached with a support peg, similar to the fixing screw used with the GMK® PS tibial inserts.

The GMK® Revision SC liners are offered in sizes 1 – 6, the same as all of the GMK® Total Knee System components. The GMK® Revision SC liners only work with the same size GMK® Tibial baseplate, similar to how the previously cleared tibial inserts work. The same tibial insert may be used with either a left or right hand GMK® Tibial baseplate in the same manner as the previously cleared tibial inserts. The GMK® Revision SC liners when attached to the GMK® Tibial baseplates allow the use of extension stems, offset connectors, and tibial wedges, identical to the other previously cleared tibial inserts.

The GMK® Revision SC liners differ from the tibial inserts in the GMK® Total Knee System in that they are offered in thicknesses from 10 mm to 26 mm instead of 10 mm to 20 mm. These additional thicknesses are provided as additional options to support the situations that the surgeon may encounter.

Performance Testing

No performance standards applicable to this device have been adopted under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

The modification to the GMK® Total Knee system to include the addition of the GMK® Revision SC liners was evaluated by risk analysis to identify any new risks associated with the change. Based on the risk analysis, design verification was conducted to written protocols with pre-defined acceptance criteria. The protocols and pre-defined acceptance criteria were based on the standards. FDA quidance, and comparison to the predicate device system. The testing was conducted on the worst case component size and option/design based on engineering analysis. The performance testing conducted on the GMK® Revision SC Liners was very similar to the protocols conducted for the predicate device, the GMK® Total Knee System. The testing included static and dynamic testing in the A/P direction, static testing in the M/L direction, and pullout testing of the SC liner to the tibial baseplate. Rotary/laxity and varus/valgus testing was also conducted. Range of motion and contact area were both evaluated in comparison to the predicate device. The testing met all acceptance criteria and verifies that performance of the GMK® Revision SC Liners are substantially equivalent to the predicate device system, GMK® Total Knee System.

Conclusion:

The results from design controls and the information provided in this submission support the conclusion that the GMK® Total Knee System-Revision SC Liners is substantially equivalent to its predicate device with respect to indications for use and technological characteristics.

§ 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.
