The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) is to add MR safety information to the labeling (instructions for use, product labeling and patient implant card) of the subject Smith & Nephew Knee Systems. The technological characteristics, function of the devices, packaging and sterilization remain unchanged. As these products have been in distribution for several years, some parts have undergone changes in the technological characteristics that were assessed in compliance with the FDA's guidanceon "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" or the FDA predecessor guidance on how to review changes to an existing device. These are not cumulative changes for all Smith & Nephew Knee Systems, but are rather specific changes that only affect certain parts. In the context of this submission, no modifications have been made to the device design, materials, sterilization, or the manufacturing process of the previously cleared devices due to the addition of MR Labeling for this 510(k).
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for various Smith & Nephew knee systems. The purpose of this submission is not to introduce a new device or significantly change an existing one that would require a new performance study to demonstrate clinical effectiveness or safety based on patient outcomes. Instead, the core of this submission is to add MR safety information to the labeling of existing, already cleared devices.
Therefore, the typical "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of diagnostic or AI-driven devices (which you are asking about) are not applicable to this 510(k) submission.
The "performance data" section in the document, despite its heading, refers specifically to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatibility testing, not clinical performance of the knee implants themselves. This testing aims to demonstrate that the presence of the knee implants does not pose an undue risk or create excessive artifacts during MRI scans.
Here's why the questions you asked cannot be fully answered or are not relevant to this specific regulatory submission:
- No new device performance for clinical outcomes: This submission isn't about proving a device (like an AI algorithm) is effective at diagnosing or treating a condition. It's about ensuring an existing physical implant is safe in an MRI environment.
- No diagnostic or AI algorithm: The "device" in question here is a knee implant, not a software algorithm that generates clinical insights or diagnoses. Therefore, terms like "multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study," "standalone (algorithm only) performance," "ground truth," or "training set" are not applicable.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the MR safety testing which serves as the "study" for this particular 510(k) submission:
Acceptance Criteria and Study for MR Safety Labeling (as described in the document):
Since this 510(k) is specifically for adding MR safety information to the labeling of already cleared devices, the "acceptance criteria" and "study" revolve around demonstrating the device's compatibility with MRI environments, not its clinical performance as a knee implant.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (for MR Safety)
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance (from document) |
|---|---|
| Device does not pose an unacceptable magnetic hazard due to displacement force. (ASTM F2052) | "MR Safety testing/assessments support the appropriate MR parameters and symbols found in the subject device labeling." |
| Device does not pose an unacceptable magnetic hazard due to torque. (ASTM F2213) | "MR Safety testing/assessments support the appropriate MR parameters and symbols found in the subject device labeling." |
| Device does not cause unacceptable RF-induced heating. (ASTM F2182-19e2, IEC 60601-2-33, ISO/TS 10974:2018E) | "MR Safety testing/assessments support the appropriate MR parameters and symbols found in the subject device labeling." |
| Device does not create unacceptable MR image artifact. (ASTM F2119) | "MR Safety testing/assessments support the appropriate MR parameters and symbols found in the subject device labeling." |
Summary of Device Performance: The document states that "MR Safety testing/assessments support the appropriate MR parameters and symbols found in the subject device labeling." This implies that the devices met the requirements of the referenced ASTM and IEC standards for MR compatibility, allowing defined MR conditions (e.g., specific field strengths, gradients, RF levels) for imaging patients with these implants.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the sample size for the MR safety testing. These tests are typically conducted on representative samples of the implant devices themselves, not on human patients.
- Data Provenance: The testing references industry standards (ASTM, IEC, ISO/TS), indicating that the tests were performed in a controlled laboratory environment in accordance with these established protocols. The country of origin of the data is not specified but is presumed to be where Smith & Nephew conducted their R&D and testing. Since it's device testing, not patient data, the retrospective/prospective distinction is not applicable.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
- Not Applicable: For MR safety testing of physical implants, "ground truth" as established by human experts (like radiologists interpreting images) is not the primary method. The "ground truth" for MR safety is determined by the physical properties of the materials and the design of the device, measured against established engineering and safety standards. The experts involved would be engineers and physicists specializing in MRI safety and material science.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not Applicable: Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1 for clinical interpretations) are not relevant here. The results of MR safety testing are quantitative measurements (e.g., temperature rise, displacement force, torque, artifact size) subject to direct measurement and comparison against defined thresholds in the standards.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
- No: This is not applicable. MRMC studies are used to assess the impact of a diagnostic tool (like an AI algorithm) on human reader performance. This submission is about the physical safety of an implant in an MRI scanner.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No: This is not applicable as there is no algorithm being tested in this submission.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Technical Standards and Physical Measurements: The "ground truth" for MR safety is established by international and national technical standards (ASTM, IEC, ISO/TS) that define acceptable limits for magnetic force, torque, heating, and image artifact. The studies involve physical measurements of these parameters using specialized testing equipment.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not Applicable: There is no "training set" in the context of MR safety testing of physical implants, as this is not an AI/machine learning submission.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not Applicable: As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.
In summary, this 510(k) submission is a prime example of a regulatory clearance based on engineering and performance testing against recognized standards for physical device properties (MR compatibility), rather than clinical efficacy studies or AI performance metrics.
§ 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.
