Components of the Signature Orthopaedics hip replacement range are intended to replace a hip joint where bone stock is sufficient to support the implant. When a surgeon has selected prosthetic replacement as the preferred treatment, the devices are indicated for:
- Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis
- Inflammatory joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis
- Correction of functional deformity including congenital hip dysplasia
- Traumatic injury involving the hip joint including traumatic arthritis or femoral head or neck fracture
- Failed previous hip surgery including internal fixation or joint fusion, reconstruction, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement, or total replacement
Signature Orthopaedics' Origin, Aria, Remedy, TSI and Pegasus femoral stems, and Logical acetabular cups are intended for cementless fixation only. Signature Orthopaedics' Evolve and Cemented TSI femoral stems are intended for cemented fixation only.
Signature Orthopaedics' constrained liner components are indicated particularly for patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocation, bone loss, joint or soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease or intraoperative instability.
Signature Orthopaedics' Evolve UniPolar Head and BiPolar Head are intended for hemihip arthroplasty only, where the natural acetabulum does not require replacement. The Evolve UniPolar Head and BiPolar Head are indicated for bone fractures or pathologies involving only the femoral head/neck and/or proximal femur, such as: - Acute femoral head or neck fracture
- Fracture dislocation of the hip
- Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- Non-union of femoral neck fractures
- Certain high subcapital and femoral neck fractures in the elderly
- Degenerative arthritis involving only the femoral head
The Signature Orthopaedics' Cemented TSI Hip Stems are manufactured from Forged CoCr per ASTM-F799. The Cemented TSI stem is a highly polished anatomically curved stem with a round cross-section intended for cemented use in total hip arthroplasty.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device (Cemented TSI Hip Stem). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than robust clinical performance testing for a new type of device.
Therefore, the prompt's request for "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in terms of AI/algorithm performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC), sample sizes for test and training sets, expert ground truth establishment, or multi-reader studies is not applicable to this type of regulatory filing.
This document describes a conventional medical device (a hip stem), not an AI or algorithm-driven device. The "acceptance criteria" here relate to manufacturing, material properties, and mechanical performance, not diagnostic accuracy or AI model performance.
Here's how to address the prompt given the nature of the document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The "acceptance criteria" for this device are established through performance testing and engineering evaluations to show that the device is suitable for its intended use and substantially equivalent to predicate devices. These are not performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity, but rather material and mechanical properties.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from Document) |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility: Non-pyrogenic | "The subject device has been validated as non-pyrogenic." |
| Mechanical Strength/Durability (Stem Fatigue): Withstand cyclic loading without failure | "Stem fatigue testing" was carried out on worst-case sizes, implying satisfactory results to deem it safe for in-vivo use. |
| Mechanical Strength/Durability (Head Disassembly/Burst/Pull-Off): Secure attachment and integrity of head components. | "CoCr Head Disassembly Test," "Ceramic Head Static Burst Test," and "Ceramic Head Pull-Off Test" were carried out. Implies satisfactory results to ensure secure and functional head attachment. |
| Range of Motion: Allow adequate physiological movement of the hip joint. | "Range of motion testing" was carried out, implying satisfactory results for functional use. |
| Material Composition (CoCr per ASTM-F799): Conform to specified material standard. | "The Signature Orthopaedics' Cemented TSI Hip Stems are manufactured from Forged CoCr per ASTM-F799." |
| Fixation Method (Cemented): Suitable for specified implantation method. | "The Cemented TSI stem... intended for cemented use in total hip arthroplasty." |
| Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrate similar technological features and safety/effectiveness as predicate devices. | Extensive comparison of technological characteristics provided, stating same intended use, indications, materials (for cemented use), similar design, taper connection, and surface finish to predicates. Non-clinical testing results support the claim. |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: The document mentions "worst case sizes of the stems" were tested for performance (fatigue, head tests). It does not specify a numerical sample size (e.g., N=x units tested) for these mechanical tests.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated as "retrospective" or "prospective" as these terms usually apply to clinical or algorithm studies. The testing is non-clinical (benchtop) and conducted by the manufacturer, Signature Orthopaedics Pty Ltd, located in Lane Cove, NSW, Australia.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI diagnostic algorithm. "Ground truth" in this context refers to established material properties and mechanical performance standards, verified through engineering tests, not human expert interpretation of images or clinical data.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. This concept applies to expert consensus in clinical data labeling for AI training/testing, which is not relevant for this mechanical device.
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. No MRMC study was done, as this is not an AI/imaging device designed to assist human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. No standalone algorithm performance was assessed as there is no algorithm under review.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Implicit Ground Truth: For this device, the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering standards, material specifications (e.g., ASTM-F799), and biomechanical principles that dictate the functional requirements and safety of a hip implant. Performance is evaluated against these predefined, objective engineering benchmarks, not subjective human interpretation or clinical outcomes data in a study context (though long-term clinical performance is a general goal of such devices once marketed).
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device, so there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI model, this question is irrelevant to the device described.

§ 888.3350 Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
