G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is intended for use in arthroplasty procedures of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone.
G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement that provides two separate, premeasured sterilized components which, when mixed, form a radiopaque rapidly setting bone cement. The packaging configuration (powder pouches, amber glass ampoule) for the subject device is identical to the predicate device.
The provided text describes the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement, a medical device intended for use in arthroplasty procedures. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study. Therefore,
No information is available regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets those criteria in the context of device performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy.
Instead, the document details performance testing conducted to show that the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement has comparable characteristics and performs similarly to its predicate devices. This type of testing is common for demonstrating substantial equivalence for Class II devices.
Here's a breakdown of the available information regarding the performance comparison, addressing the relevant parts of your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Note: The document does not provide specific quantitative "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance (e.g., a certain percentage of successful fixation). Instead, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by compliance with established international and ASTM standards for bone cement properties. The "reported device performance" is framed as "comparable" to predicate devices and "in compliance" with these standards.
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Standards) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Material/Mechanical Properties | ||
| Compressive Strength | Compliance with ASTM F451-08, ISO 5833:2002 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Bending Modulus | Compliance with ASTM F451-08, ISO 5833:2002 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Cyclic Fatigue | Compliance with ASTM F2118-14 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Tensile Properties | Compliance with ASTM D638-14 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Creep | Compliance with ASTM D2990-09 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Fracture Toughness | Compliance with ASTM E399-12 | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Shrinkage | Compliance with relevant standards (not explicitly listed but implied) | Comparable to predicate devices, in compliance with standards |
| Biocompatibility | Compliance with ISO 10993 parts -3, -5, -6, -10, -11 | Complies with ISO 10993 at parts -3, -5, -6, -10, -11 |
| Sterilization | Compliance with ISO 11135:2014, ISO 11138-1:2006, ISO 10993-7:2009, ISO 14161:2009, ISO 14937:2009, ISO 11737-1:2006, ISO 11737-2:2009, ISO 13408-1:2008, and ISO 13408-2:2003 | Sterility verified according to listed ISO standards |
| Shelf Life | Not explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion for comparison, but evaluated. | 3 years (not compared to predicate, but stated as a characteristic) |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of samples or patients. The testing involved material samples for mechanical and material characterization, and biological samples for biocompatibility. The standards listed (e.g., ASTM F451-08, ISO 5833:2002) would dictate appropriate sample sizes for each specific test, but these are not enumerated in the document.
- Data Provenance: Not specified. Given the nature of material and biological testing, it would be laboratory-generated data, likely from the manufacturer or a contracted testing facility. No information on country of origin or whether it's retrospective/prospective is provided, as these terms are more relevant to clinical studies.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not Applicable. This document describes laboratory and material testing, not human-read clinical data where expert ground truth would be established. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on objective measurements against established international and industry standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. See point 3.
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. This device is a bone cement, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device. The "standalone" performance refers to the device's material properties and biological effects, which were indeed tested directly.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The "ground truth" for these material and biological performance tests is objective physical and chemical measurement against established international and industry standards. For example, compressive strength is objectively measured and compared to the acceptable range defined in ASTM F451. Biocompatibility is assessed through standardized in-vitro and in-vivo tests according to ISO 10993.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. See point 8.

V. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Technological Comparison
The subject device has similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Both predicates and subject device provide two separate, premeasured sterilized components which, when mixed, form a radiopaque rapidly setting bone cement. The subject device and the predicate devices are all polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements.
The packaging configuration (powder pouches, amber glass ampoule) for the subject device is identical to the predicate device.
The sterilization method for the powder of the subject device is identical to the predicate device. The sterilization method for the liquid component of the subject device is identical to predicate device.
Therefore, the subject device has the same design, intended use and mode of operation as the predicate.
Performance Comparison
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
. Biocompatibility
According to its categorization and ISO 10993-1 recommendations, biological effects that have been considered as per categorization of the predicate and then suitable for G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement include cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity, pyrogen, AMES, LAL, and bone implantation toxicity and effects.
{5}------------------------------------------------
As recommended by the FDA's Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing', the subject devices and predicates comply with ISO 10993 at parts -3, -5, -6, -10, -11.
● Sterilization
The sterilization process, including both the ethylene oxide method (powder component and aseptically processed, filled glass vials) as well as the membrane filter-sterilization (liguid component), has been validated and the sterility of the subject devices has been verified according to ISO 11135:2014, ISO 11138-1:2006, ISO 10993-7:2009, ISO 14161:2009, ISO 14937:2009, ISO 11737-1:2006, ISO 11737-2:2009, ISO 13408-1:2008, and ISO 13408-2:2003.
The shelf life of the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is three years.
● Material, Mechanical and Performance Characterization
Performance testing of compressive strength, bending modulus, cyclic fatigue, tensile properties, creep, fracture toughness, and shrinkage was conducted to characterize G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement as compared to the predicate, according to the FDA's Guide "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement; Guidance for Industry and FDA". Results show comparable performances to the predicate devices, and are in compliance with ASTM F451-08, ISO 5833:2002, ASTM F2118-14, ASTM D2990-09, ASTM D638-14, and ASTM E399-12.
In all instances the device functioned as intended and all results were satisfactory and met all performance specifications.
VI. CONCLUSION
The G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is as safe and effective as the primary predicate Heraeus Kulzer Palacos R (K030902) and the additional predicate G21 OrthoSteady G (K173494). The G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is as safe and effective as Heraeus Kulzer Palacos R (K030902) and G21 OrthoSteady G (K173494). Thus, the G1 40 Radiopaque Bone Cement is substantially equivalent.
