Software
The SurgiCase Knee Planner is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for knee orthopedic surgery. The software is used to pre-operatively plan the positioning of knee components. The SurgiCase Knee Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a pre-surgical plan data file which is used as input data to design the Materialise Knee Guides and Models.
The Materialise TKA Guide System is a medical device designed to be used to implant total knee prosthesis components during a total knee arthroplasty surgical procedure. This can be done by generating a presurgical knee plan and by manufacturing a patient-specific knee guide and models to transfer the knee plan to surgery.
The subject device is a system that consists of the following two functional components:
• A software component branded as SurgiCase Knee Planner. This software is a planning tool used to generate a personalized pre-surgical TKA plan according to either a mechanical or a restricted kinematic alignment philosophy based on patient anatomy. This initial plan can then be further edited by the surgeon.
• Hardware components branded as Materialise TKA Guides and Models: which are patient-specific guides and models that are based on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Materialise TKA Guides and Models is an instrument set containing a femur and/or tibia guide(s) and bone models (optional). Both femoral and tibial guides are designed and manufactured to fit the anatomy of a specific patient. If the surgeon requests it, a bone model of the femur and/or tibia are delivered with the Materialise TKA Guides. The Materialise TKA Guides and Models assist in the intra-operative positioning of total knee replacement components. The guides assist in guiding the marking of bone before cutting and to guide cutting of the bone. The patient-specific models serve as a visual reference for the surgeon in the operating room. The Materialise TKA Guides and Models must only be used within the intended use of the compatible components (510(k) cleared, legally marketed prosthesis).
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Materialise TKA Guide System describes the device and its indications for use, but it does not contain the specific acceptance criteria or the details of a study (like a clinical study or specific performance data) that proves the device meets those criteria.
Instead, the document primarily focuses on establishing "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device (Materialise TKA Guide System K221337) and a reference device (Materialise PKA Guide System K202207). It states that "The non-clinical performance testing indicates that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device." However, it does not provide the actual results of this non-clinical performance testing in terms of specific acceptance criteria and detailed study outcomes.
The information given is typical for a 510(k) summary, which generally affirms that V&V (Verification and Validation) was done and that the device performs as intended, but it doesn't usually include the granular details of the V&V studies themselves, especially not in a public-facing clearance letter. These details would be contained within the full 510(k) submission, which is not publicly accessible in its entirety.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported performance, nor can I provide answers to most of your specific questions (sample size, data provenance, expert details, adjudication, MRMC study, ground truth type, training set details) because this information is not present in the provided text.
The document mentions:
- Software verification and validation: "Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.' This includes verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs." This implies acceptance criteria were defined (as "defined requirements" and "user needs") and met, but the specific metrics and results are not listed.
- Hardware testing: "Previous testing for biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device and demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate device (no changes have been applied to the Hardware)." Again, this confirms testing occurred and was successful, but the specific criteria and outcomes are omitted.
In summary, none of the specific data you requested (acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, etc.) are available in the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter.
To provide the information you're looking for, one would typically need access to the full 510(k) submission, specifically the V&V reports, which are proprietary and not released with the public clearance letter.
§ 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.
