AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Latitud™ Hip Replacement System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on design, materials, and mechanical performance testing, rather than presenting a clinical study with acceptance criteria and device performance as one might find for a novel diagnostic or therapeutic device.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to clinical study design (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of submission.

However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical performance data and the conclusion on substantial equivalence.

Here's the relevant information that can be extracted:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are generally established by the referenced ASTM and ISO standards for mechanical testing of orthopedic implants. The document states that the system "was subjected to following nonclinical performance testing to evaluate device function/mechanical performance." The implication is that the device met the requirements of these standards. Specific numerical acceptance criteria and precise performance values are not detailed in this summary; rather, the successful completion of these tests serves as the proof of meeting criteria for substantial equivalence.

§ 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)
