Device Description

A highly cross linked polyethylene acetabular liner infused with pure liquid phamnaceutical grade alpha-tocopheral. The liners are the same dimensions and size offerings as the currently cleared Highly Cross Linked Poly liners (K072154) (28mm, 32mm, 36mm, 40mm, and 44mm 1D, with neutral, 10° and 20° hooded configurations available in each ID).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the X-alt™ Highly Cross Linked Acetabular Liner with Vitamin E, a medical device. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study in the way an AI algorithm might.

Therefore, many of the requested categories related to clinical study design (sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable or not provided in this regulatory document.

However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the device's performance based on non-clinical testing.

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for X-alt™ Highly Cross Linked Acetabular Liner with Vitamin E

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document states that the device's ability to perform under expected conditions was demonstrated through various mechanical tests, and that "All testing has determined that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices." This implies that the acceptance criteria were met by demonstrating equivalence to the predicate devices' performance in these tests. Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly detailed in the summary.

Test CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance
Mechanical CharacterizationPerformance equivalent to predicate devices regarding mechanical properties.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Push Out StrengthPerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to dislodgement.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Lever Out StrengthPerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to lever-out forces.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Torsion StrengthPerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to rotational forces.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Rim Impingement ResistancePerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to damage from impingement.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Fatigue Crack Propagation ResistancePerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to crack growth under cyclic loading.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Izod Impact StrengthPerformance equivalent to predicate devices for resistance to impact.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.
Small Punch StrengthPerformance equivalent to predicate devices for localized resistance to puncture/deformation.Demonstrated ability to perform under expected conditions.

Animal Implant for Toxicological ResponseNon-toxicological response equivalent to predicate devices.(Implied to be acceptable)
CytotoxicityNon-cytotoxic response equivalent to predicate devices.(Implied to be acceptable)

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

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated. The non-clinical testing refers to various mechanical and material characterization tests. These typically involve testing multiple samples per test, but a cumulative "sample size" is not provided in the context of a typical clinical test set with human subjects.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified, but the testing was likely conducted in a controlled laboratory environment by the manufacturer or a contracted testing facility.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

Not applicable. This was a non-clinical, mechanical testing study, not a study requiring expert readers or ground truth establishment in the diagnostic sense.

4. Adjudication Method:

Not applicable. This was a non-clinical, mechanical testing study.

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

No. This was a non-clinical, mechanical testing study.

6. Standalone Performance Study:

Yes, in the sense that the device's performance was evaluated independently through a battery of non-clinical tests. However, it's not "standalone" in the context of an AI algorithm performing without human intervention. The performance refers to the physical and material properties of the device itself.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by:

  • Standardized test methods: Adherence to established mechanical testing standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM).
  • Material specifications: Conformance to the physical and chemical properties expected for the materials used.
  • Predicate device performance: The performance of the legally marketed predicate devices served as a benchmark for comparison to establish "substantial equivalence."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm being trained in this context. The manufacturing and design process of the physical device serves as its "development" or "training."

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

Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm and thus no training set in the conventional sense. The "ground truth" for the device's design and manufacturing would be based on engineering principles, material science, and the performance characteristics of successful predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Hutto:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

§ 888.3358 Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a 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 has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.(b)
Classification. Class II.
