Device Description

iTotal Identity® Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System (KRS) and iTotal Identity® Posterior Stabilized (PS) Knee Replacement System (KRS) are patient specific tri-compartmental faceted knee replacements systems. The iTotal Identity CR KRS is a faceted posterior cruciate ligament retaining knee replacement system. It is a semi-constrained, cemented knee implant which consists of femoral, tibial, and patellar components. iTotal Identity® PS KRS is a semi-constrained, cemented knee implant consisting of femoral, tibial, patellar and articular tibial insert components.

Using patient imaging and a combination of proprietary and off-the-shelf software, a patient-specific implant is designed that best meets the geometric and anatomic requirements of the specific patient. The femoral component is manufactured from cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy. The tibial component includes a metal tray and tray keel stem extension manufactured from titanium (Ti6AL4V-ELI) alloy, a tibial tray keel (stem) cap manufactured from polyethylene (UHMWPE) and either one or two polyethylene inserts (Two piece is available with the CR KRS only). The polyethylene inserts may be manufactured from either UHMWPE (iPoly®) or iPoly® XE (a highly cross-linked vitamin E stabilized UHMWPE). The patellar component is provided in either a round or oval dome shape and may be manufactured from either UHMWPE or iPoly® XE.

For user convenience, single-use, patient-specific ancillary orthopedic manual surgical instruments designed for use with the proposed iTotal Identity® CR KRS or iTotal Identity® PS KRS are provided to assist in the positioning of the total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding the cutting of bone. In addition, reusable orthopedic manual surgical instruments are provided separately.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the 510(k) clearance for the iTotal Identity® Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System and iTotal Identity® Posterior Stabilized (PS) Knee Replacement System. This clearance specifically focuses on adding an additional sterilization process (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Low-Temperature Sterilant-Vacuum (VHP LTS-V)) to the existing approved methods. No device modifications were made.

Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets these criteria relate to the sterilization process and its impact on the safety and effectiveness of the device, rather than the device's functional performance as a knee replacement system itself.

Here's the breakdown of the information requested, based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Sterilization Validation (Sterility Assurance Level)Established a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 1x10⁻⁶ using VHP LTS-V.
VHP Residual TestingNot explicitly stated what the acceptance criteria were for residuals, but the "testing results conclude that the addition of the use of VHP LTS-V sterilization raises no new issues regarding safety or effectiveness." This implies residuals were within acceptable limits.
BiocompatibilityRisk-based biocompatibility testing was performed. The testing results conclude that the addition of the use of VHP LTS-V sterilization raises no new issues regarding safety or effectiveness.
Equivalence to PredicateThe VHP LTS-V sterilized subject devices were shown to be equivalent to the primary predicate devices using currently cleared sterilization processes (EO, VHP gas plasma). No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for sterilization validation (e.g., number of devices or sterilization cycles). Sterilization validation typically involves a statistically determined number of units.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. Given that this is a 510(k) submission for a medical device, the testing would be conducted post-development and pre-market, implying prospective testing specific to the sterilization method change.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This type of information is not applicable to this submission. The "ground truth" here is objective scientific measurement (e.g., microbial load reduction for SAL, chemical residue levels for VHP residuals, biological response for biocompatibility). These are established through standardized testing protocols, not through expert consensus on images or clinical outcomes.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 refer to a process where multiple human readers assess data (e.g., medical images) and their disagreements are resolved by an independent expert. This submission concerns engineering and material testing for sterilization, not human interpretation of clinical data.

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

This is not applicable. This submission is for enabling an additional sterilization process for an existing knee replacement system. It does not involve AI, human readers, or image interpretation.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This is not applicable. This is not an algorithm or software submission; it's a submission for a physical medical device and its manufacturing/sterilization process.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for this sterile medical device submission is based on scientific and engineering measurements from validated laboratory testing. This includes:

  • Microbiological testing: To establish Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) (e.g., bioburden testing, overkill methods, half-cycle testing).
  • Chemical analysis: To measure residual levels of the sterilant.
  • Biological assays: For biocompatibility testing to ensure the sterilized material does not elicit an adverse biological response.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable. A "training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This submission is for a physical medical device and its sterilization process, not an AI/ML product.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable for the same reason as above.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Device usage Operating principles Packaging Sterilization processes (methods) Biocompatibility Shelf-life Materials of composition The modification is to add an additional sterilization process (method) for the subject devices. There are no design changes to the subject device beyond the added sterilization process. The manufacture of the subject device is unchanged from that described in the 510(k) submissions of the predicate devices.
Performance DataNon-clinical testing was performed including sterilization and risk-based biocompatibility testing. The results support that the device components are effectively sterilized using VHP LTS-V. Testing includes: Sterilization Validation testing to establish a SAL of 1x10-6 VHP Residual Testing
The testing results conclude that the addition of the use of VHP LTS-V sterilization raises no new issues regarding safety or effectiveness. The performance of the subject devices sterilized by VHP LTS-V is expected to be the same as the currently marketed predicate devices.
SubstantialEquivalenceThe modification to add an additional sterilization process shows equivalency to the VHP LTS-V sterilization as described in the secondary predicate. Results support that the VHP LTS-V sterilized subject devices would be equivalent to the primary predicate devices using currently cleared sterilization processes (EO, VHP gas plasma). No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised.
ConclusionBased on the results of the testing performed, the subject iTotal Identity® Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System and iTotal Identity® Posterior Stabilized (PS) Knee Replacement System, are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices iTotal Identity® Cruciate Retaining (CR) Knee Replacement System and iTotal Identity® Posterior Stabilized (PS) Knee Replacement System and can be sterilized to a SAL of 1x10-6 utilizing VHP LTS-V sterilization.

§ 888.3560 Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee 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 a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
Classification. Class II.
