AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Study for PROFEMUR® Gladiator Hip Stems

This section details the acceptance criteria and the study conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the PROFEMUR® Gladiator Hip Stems.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Mechanical StrengthAbility to withstand expected in vivo loading without failure, as evaluated through fatigue, fretting, and distraction testing."A review of these results indicates that the Gladiator Hip Stems are equivalent to predicate devices and are capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.""The GLADIATOR® Hip Stems have been tested in distal and proximal fatigue evaluation per the loading regimen prescribed by ISO 7206-4, -6 and -8."

Material CompatibilityUse of materials identical to those used in predicate devices with established safety and performance records."The materials used for the GLADIATOR® Hip Stems are identical to the materials used for the predicate devices."
Technological EquivalenceThe fundamental scientific technology and design features (e.g., modular design, cross-section, tapered profile) are substantially equivalent to predicate devices."The GLADIATOR® Hip Stems have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. GLADIATOR® Hip Stems are straight cemented and uncemented hip stems with a modular design. They feature a proximal trapezoidal cross-section and a distal rectangular cross-section. For fixation stability in three planes, the stem has a vertically tapered profile in the frontal and lateral planes." "The fundamental scientific technology of the modified devices has not changed relative to the predicate devices."
Intended Use & IndicationsThe intended use and indications for use are identical to previously cleared predicate devices."The indications for use of the Gladiator Hip Stems are identical to the previously cleared predicate devices."

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This submission relies on non-clinical (mechanical) testing and comparison to predicate devices, not a clinical test set with human subjects.
  • Data Provenance: The mechanical testing data would be generated from laboratory experiments. The country of origin for this testing is not specified, but it would presumably be conducted by or for Wright Medical Technology, Inc., located in Arlington, TN, USA. The data is prospective in the sense that the tests were conducted specifically for this device submission.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth Establishment (Test Set)

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable. The ground truth for mechanical testing is established by adherence to international standards (e.g., ISO 7206 series) and engineering principles, not expert consensus on clinical cases.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable in the context of clinical ground truth. However, the testing would be overseen by qualified engineers and scientists specialized in biomechanical testing of orthopedic implants.

4. Adjudication Method (Test Set)

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. No clinical test set requiring adjudication of findings was used.

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

  • Was an MRMC study done? No.
  • Effect size of human reader improvement: Not applicable, as no MRMC study was conducted. This device is an implantable orthopedic device, and its approval relies on mechanical performance and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on the interpretation of medical images or data by human readers.

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

  • Was a standalone study done? Yes, in the context of mechanical testing. The device's performance was evaluated in isolation through fatigue, fretting, and distraction tests as per ISO standards. This is a "standalone" evaluation of the physical device's mechanical integrity.
  • Details of the study: The GLADIATOR® Hip Stems underwent "distal and proximal fatigue evaluation per the loading regimen prescribed by ISO 7206-4, -6 and -8," in addition to fretting and distraction evaluation. The results demonstrated equivalence to predicate devices and the capability to withstand in vivo loading.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used (Test Set)

  • Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth for this submission is based on adherence to international mechanical testing standards (ISO 7206-4, -6, and -8) and the established safety and effectiveness profile of predicate devices through direct comparison of design features, materials, and mechanical performance. There is no clinical or pathology-based ground truth from a test set of human cases.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This device approval is based on a 510(k) submission demonstrating substantial equivalence, primarily through mechanical testing and comparison to existing predicate devices. It does not involve machine learning algorithms or a "training set" in the computational sense.

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

  • How Ground Truth Was Established: Not applicable. As there is no training set for a computational model, there is no ground truth to establish for it. The "ground truth" in the broader sense for this submission is derived from the established performance and safety of the predicate devices and the robust mechanical testing standards it adheres to.

§ 888.3330 Hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace a hip 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 consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The femoral component is intended to be fixed with bone cement. The acetabular component is intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class III.(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or a notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before May 18, 2016, for any hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before May 18, 2016, been found to be substantially equivalent to a hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained prosthesis with an uncemented acetabular component shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
