1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria/Standard | Reported Device Performance | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| GMK Femur Size 7 | The GMK Femur Size 7 was compared to the predicate GMK Femur Size 1 (identified as "worst case" by engineering analysis). | ||
| Volume for Cement Insertion | Adequacy to prevent loosening | Larger than worst case (Size 1) | Reduces risk of loosening of cement fixation. |
| Contact Surface Area | Adequacy to reduce contact stress | Larger than worst case (Size 1) | Reduces contact stress between tibial insert and femoral component. |
| Risk of Dislocation | Adequate level of constraint | Adequate, due to larger thickness and contact area | Adequate level of constraint to prevent dislocation. |
| Mechanical Strength | N/A (implied robustness) | Greater than worst case (Size 1) | Greater mechanical strength. |
| GMK Revision Extension Stems | Tested against applied standards and FDA guidance. | ||
| Endurance Property Testing | Applied standards per FDA guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prosthesis; Guidance for Industry and FDA", issued on Jan. 16, 2003. | Met all requirements | Demonstrated capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state a numerical sample size for individual tests. It refers to "testing on the worst case component size and option/design" for both the GMK Femur Size 7 and the GMK Revision extension stems. This suggests a limited sample size, focusing on representative "worst-case" scenarios rather than large statistical cohorts. For example, for the Femur Size 7, only Size 1 (worst case) was used for comparison.
- Data Provenance: The data is generated from mechanical performance testing conducted by the manufacturer, Medacta International, as part of their design verification process. It does not involve human patient data or clinical trials in the traditional sense. Therefore, the concepts of "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" do not apply in the context of this mechanical performance testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. This submission relies on engineering analysis and adherence to established mechanical testing standards and FDA guidance documents to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not expert clinical consensus on a test set. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is determined by meeting the specified mechanical and performance standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. There is no human test set or need for adjudication in this mechanical performance study.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. An MRMC study is relevant for imaging or diagnostic devices where human readers interpret results. This submission is for a knee prosthesis, and the evaluation is based on mechanical performance and design equivalence, not human interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's safety and effectiveness (in the context of this 510(k)) is established through:
- Comparison to predicate devices with a history of safe and effective use.
- Adherence to recognized consensus standards and FDA guidance documents for mechanical testing of knee prostheses.
- Engineering analysis to identify "worst-case" scenarios and ensure the new components meet or exceed the performance of the predicate.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no training set in the context of mechanical performance testing of a physical device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.

The GMK - Line Extension is comprised of the GMK Femur Size 7 and the GMK Revision extension stems.
Indications for Use
Product Description
The GMK knee prosthesis 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.
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.
Comparison to Predicate Devices
The GMK - Line Extension has the same intended use, material, and performance characteristics as the predicate devices.
Performance Testing
A review of the mechanical data indicates that the GMK - Line Extension is equivalent to devices currently cleared for use and is capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
The modification to the GMK system to include the addition of the GMK Femur Size 7 and the GMK Revision extension stems 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 guidance, and comparison to the predicate device system. The testing was conducted on the worst case component size and option/design based on engineering analysis.

Page 3/3
The GMK Femur Size 7 was compared to the GMK Femur Size 1 (worst case) in terms of volume for cement insertion, contact surface area, risk of dislocation, and mechanical strength. The GMK Femur Size 7 has a larger volume for cement insertion which reduces the risk of loosening of cement fixation. The GMK Femur Size 7 also has a larger contact surface area which reduces the contact stress between the tibial insert and the femoral component. The GMK Femur Size 7 has an adequate level of constraint to prevent dislocation because of the larger thickness and contact area as compared to the worst case. The GMK Femur Size 7 also has greater mechanical strength than the worst case.
The GMK Revision extension stems were tested and an analysis was performed to identify the worst cases compared to the modified devices. Endurance property testing was conducted to applied standards per FDA guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prosthesis; Guidance for Industry and FDA", issued on Jan. 16, 2003. The GMK Revision extension stems met all of the requirements according to the FDA Guidance document.
Conclusion:
Based on the above information, the GMK - Line Extension can be considered as substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
