- . Versacem Acetabular Shell from size Ø40 to size Ø56;
- . Double Mobility HC liner Ø22.2/DMAZ;
- Double Mobility HC liner Ø28/DMC. ●
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification from the FDA, clearing the Medacta International S.A. Versacem Acetabular Shell and Double Mobility HC Liners. This type of document does not contain the acceptance criteria or detailed study results for device performance as would be found in a clinical trial report or a comprehensive engineering report.
The 510(k) process primarily demonstrates "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving de novo safety and efficacy against predefined clinical acceptance criteria. The "Performance Data" section in the document only lists the types of non-clinical (bench) tests performed.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill most of the requested information based on this document. Below is a breakdown of what can be inferred or what is explicitly stated, and what cannot be provided:
Inferences/Provided Information from the Document:
- Study That "Proves" Device Meets Acceptance Criteria: The document refers to "Performance Data" from "Nonclinical Studies" (bench testing) to support substantial equivalence. These studies include:
- Design Validation
- Wear Test
- Range of Motion Evaluation
- Fatigue Test
- Pull-off and Lever-out Tests (for liner)
- Evaluation of Jumping Distance
- Evaluation of Impingement Risk
- Pyrogenicity testing (LAL test, in-vivo evaluation in rabbit)
- Biocompatibility assessment
- Shelf-life evaluation
Information NOT available in this document:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document only lists the types of tests performed, not the specific acceptance criteria for each test nor the quantitative results. For example, it lists "Wear Test" but doesn't state the acceptable wear rate or the actual wear rate achieved.
- Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Bench testing results typically refer to the number of samples tested (e.g., how many shells, how many liners), but this is not provided. Data provenance is not applicable as these are bench tests, not clinical studies with human data.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: This is not applicable as these are non-clinical, mechanical/material performance tests, not studies requiring expert interpretation of clinical data or images.
- Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable for non-clinical bench testing.
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable, as this is for a medical device (hip implant), not an AI/imaging device that would involve human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable for this type of device.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): For non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is typically engineering and material science standards (e.g., force applied, displacement, wear volume, fatigue cycles to failure). These are implied by the test names (e.g., "Fatigue Test" implies testing to a certain number of cycles or until failure, compared against a standard).
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. These are physical devices, not AI algorithms trained on data.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

§ 888.3353 Hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.(b)
