7) Dislocation risks
Additional indications specific to the TrabecuLink Augments:
Primary or revision surgery for hip replacement as a prosthetic alternative to structural allograft in cases of segmental acetabular deficiencies.
The MobileLink Acetabular Shells are intended for cementless fixation. The TrabecuLink Augments are intended for cementless fixation to the bone and for cemented fixation to the mating shell.
The MobileLink Acetabular Cup System is a versatile cup system, designed to provide several options for surgeons and patients within one system. This 510k adds several system components to the MobileLink Acetabular Cup System previously cleared in K182321, K192559, K200607, and K222066.
X-LINKed Inserts: The X-LINKed Inserts are manufactured from highly crosslinked polyethylene material. The inserts are available in the same sizes and designs as the previously cleared E-Dur inserts (K182321). The design variants include a neutral variant with or without offset, a shouldered variant with or without offset and 10° and 20° inclining variants with an offset. The inserts are fixed using a clamping system consisting of a combination of snap mechanism and conical clamping. Notches (tabs/recesses) at the rim further contribute to the rotational stability of the PE inserts.
TrabecuLink Augments: The TrabecuLink Metal Acetabular Augments are wedgeshaped components that conform to the shape of the acetabular shell. They are additively manufactured Ti6A14V alloy per ISO 5832-3 (chemistry and mechanical properties) and feature a porous structure (TrabecuLink) on the bone interfacing surface. They mate with the same MobileLink (TrabecuLink) Shells as previously cleared in K182321 and K222066 and they can be used with the same 6.5mm diameter bone screws cleared in K192559, or with new smaller diameter (4.5mm) bone screws introduced in this submission.
Bone Screws: The MobileLink Bone Screws are Ø 4.5mm in lengths from 15 -60mm (by 5mm increments). They feature the same head size/design as the previously cleared Ø 6.5mm screws and are made of the same wrought Ti6A14V alloy per ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136 as the previously cleared Ø 6.5mm screws.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG for their MobileLink Acetabular Cup System - Line Extension (Multiple). It's a submission to the FDA regarding new components for an existing hip replacement system.
The document does not describe a study involving acceptance criteria for a device's performance in a diagnostic or AI context. Instead, it is a regulatory filing for a medical device (hip replacement components). The "performance testing" section refers to non-clinical tests to ensure the mechanical and material integrity of the new components are comparable to existing, cleared devices.
Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, and standalone algorithm performance cannot be extracted from this document, as it is not relevant to the type of device or study described.
Here's an attempt to fill in the table and address the relevant points based on the provided text, while noting where information is not applicable or available:
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Non-clinical Performance Testing: Demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. | Acetabular construct disassembly testing: (Push-out, lever-out, torque out for the acetabular modular connections) - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. |
| Range of Motion evaluation: (comparison to predicate) - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Wear: (rationale based on material properties and design similarity) - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Impingement testing: - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Shell/Augment construct fatigue testing: - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Bone screw testing per ASTM F543: - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Characterization of the TrabecuLink porous surface: - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. | |
| Biocompatibility evaluation: - Results demonstrate substantial equivalence. |
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
See the table above. The acceptance criteria essentially boil down to demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices through various non-clinical performance tests. The reported performance for each test is that "The results... demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, and therefore Substantially Equivalent." Specific numerical thresholds for acceptance are not detailed in this summary.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
This information is not provided in the document. The tests are non-clinical, likely bench testing on prototypes or manufactured samples, not patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical device performance study, not a diagnostic study requiring expert ground truth for interpretation.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. This is a non-clinical device performance study, not a diagnostic study requiring adjudication.
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 is not an AI/Software device, nor is it a diagnostic device where MRMC studies would be relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is not an AI/Software device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
For the non-clinical performance tests, the "ground truth" would be the established engineering standards, material specifications (e.g., ISO 5832-3, ASTM F136, ASTM F543), and the performance characteristics of the predicate devices. The new components are tested to meet these established benchmarks.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device.
§ 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)
