Components of the Signature Orthopaedics hip replacement range are intended to replace a hip joint where bone stock is sufficient to support the implant. When a surgeon has selected prosthetic replacement as the preferred treatment, the devices are indicated for:
- Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis
 - Inflammatory joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis
 - Correction of functional deformity including congenital hip dysplasia & fracture non-union or mal-union
 - Traumatic injury involving the hip joint including traumatic arthritis or femoral head or neck fracture
 - Failed previous hip surgery including internal fixation or joint fusion, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement, or total hip replacement
 - Dislocation risks (when used with SignaSure Dual Mobility System)
 
Signature Orthopaedics' Longboard Revision Stem is intended for individuals undergoing revision surgery of the hip only.
Signature Orthopaedics' Origin, Origin TT, Aria, Remedy, Origin-NS, Pegasus, Spartan, World, Everglade and Longboard Hip femoral stems, SignaSure Cementless Cups, Logical and World Acetabular Cups are intended for cementless fixation only.
The Longboard Revision Stem is a femoral stem and a partially threaded distal locking screw intended for single use and cementless fixation for revision hip arthroplasties. The components are manufactured from titanium alloy as per ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136 and the stem has a titanium alloy grit blast along the body. The Longboard Revision Stem is a symmetrical with a neck angle of 135°. The stem body is tapered and finned, while the distal tip is finless to allow for initial version adjustments. The stem neck features a 12/14 taper which allows for compatibility with Signature Orthopaedics' range of previously cleared femoral head components.
This FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the Longboard Revision Hip Stem describes a medical device (an orthopedic implant), not a software or AI/ML-based device. Therefore, the questions regarding acceptance criteria and study design for performance evaluation of algorithms and AI/ML systems (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment by experts) are not applicable to this document.
The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical performance testing for mechanical properties and material characteristics, as is standard for orthopedic implants.
Here's an analysis of the provided information relevant to the device's acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets them, framed within the context of a physical medical device:
Acceptance Criteria and Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria
For physical medical devices like the Longboard Revision Hip Stem, acceptance criteria primarily revolve around:
- Safety and Effectiveness: Ensuring the device is safe for its intended use and performs as expected.
 - Biocompatibility: Materials used must be compatible with the human body.
 - Mechanical Performance: The device must withstand anticipated physiological loads and stresses without failure for its expected lifespan.
 - Conformity to Standards: Compliance with established industry and regulatory standards.
 - Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrating that the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device.
 
The study described to prove the device meets these criteria is the non-clinical performance testing and engineering evaluations.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance
The document doesn't provide a precise "table" of numerical acceptance criteria in the format typically seen for AI/ML performance (e.g., "Sensitivity >= X%"). Instead, acceptance is inferred from the successful completion of specified engineering tests and adherence to industry standards, followed by a conclusion of substantial equivalence.
| Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from Regulatory Requirements for Orthopedic Implants) | Reported Device Performance Summary (from document) | 
|---|---|
| Mechanical Strength & Endurance: Withstand anticipated physiological loads and stresses without fracture or fatigue failure. | Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations (FEA and physical testing) conducted on worst-case sizes. Results show that "the strength of the Signature Orthopaedics Longboard Revision Hip Stem is sufficient for their intended use and substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device." Specifically, "Stem and Neck Fatigue FEA" and "Stem and Neck Fatigue Testing" were performed. | 
| Range of Motion: Allow for functional hip joint movement. | "Range of Motion" testing was performed to verify adequate performance. | 
| Material Biocompatibility: Materials are safe for implantation. | Manufactured from titanium alloy as per ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136. These are standard, biocompatible implant-grade materials. | 
| Conformity to Standards: Adherence to relevant international and national testing standards. | Testing conducted in accordance with: - ISO 21535 (Hip Joint Replacement Implants)- ASTM F2996 (FEA for Hip Femoral Stems)- ISO 7206-4 (Endurance of Stemmed Femoral Components)- ISO 7206-6 (Endurance of Neck Region)- ASTM F543 (Metallic Medical Bone Screws) | 
| Substantial Equivalence: The device is as safe and effective as existing legally marketed predicate devices. | "The Longboard Revision Hip Stem have the same intended use and same indications for use as the predicate devices. The subject devices use the same operating principle, incorporate the same basic design, and are manufactured using the same materials as the predicate devices. Any differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as established with performance testing. The subject devices are at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices." | 
Information Not Applicable/Provided for a Physical Device:
The following points are primarily relevant to software, AI/ML, or diagnostic devices, and therefore are not applicable to this 510(k) for a physical orthopedic implant:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. Testing is primarily mechanical/physical on device samples, not on patient data.
 - Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a physical implant is its physical behavior under load, measured by engineering methods, not expert consensus on images.
 - Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
 - 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 for diagnostic interpretation, not an implant.
 - If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. There is no algorithm here.
 - The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of image interpretation. Ground truth for this device is mechanical integrity, material properties, and functionality under specified conditions, verified by laboratory testing.
 - The sample size for the training set: Not applicable as there is no training set for a mechanical device.
 - How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
 
In summary: The clearance of the Longboard Revision Hip Stem relies on non-clinical, laboratory-based mechanical and materials testing of physical device samples against established industry standards and comparison to predicate devices, to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness for its intended use, rather than on clinical data or AI/ML performance metrics.

The patient should be skeletally mature to receive a knee replacement. Patients should have adequate bone stock and size to support and accept the prosthesis.
The patient's need for knee replacement should be due to one or more of the following conditions:
- . Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis.
 - Inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis.
 - Functional deformity such as varus, valgus or flexion deformities.
 - . Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed.
 - . Fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques.
 
Signature Orthopaedic's World Knee replacement components may be intended for cemented or cementless use. Please verify whether the particular component is intended for cemented or cementless use by checking the package label.
The intended use of the World Total Knee System is for total knee replacement procedures in skeletally mature patients with structural joint damage. This is the same intended use as previously cleared devices for the World Total Knee System, K181530.
The World Total Knee System is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate or all polyethylene tibia. The femoral component and tibial baseplate components are intended for use with or without bone cement. The femoral component, meniscal inserts and all polyethylene tibias are available as posterior stabilised or cruciate retaining variants. The femoral components are also available as anatomic asymmetrical and symmetrical design variants. The femoral component may be used with modular pegs.
The primary purpose of this Special 510(k) Device Modification to the World Knee System is to notify the FDA of the addition of titanium nitride (TiN) material coating to the femoral components (posterior stabilised{PS}, cruciate retaining{CR}) of the cemented variant. This 510(k) also notifies the FDA of minor design update to the femoral component implant.
Materials: Cast Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) alloy (ASTM F75 and ISO 5832-4) for the femoral component and tibial baseplate, Wrought Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136-13) for the femoral peg component and tibial baseplate variant, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) for all variants of the patellar implants, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) or Vit-E HXLPE for the All-poly tibial baseplate components and modular meniscal tibial inserts, and titanium nitride (TiN) for coating cemented femoral components.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the "World Total Knee System," seeking clearance for a modification. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a study for an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or assistive device that would involve a test set, ground truth, and human reader performance.
Therefore, the input document does not contain the information necessary to describe acceptance criteria and a study that proves a device meets them in the context of an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic or assistive device.
The document outlines performance testing for implant components, such as:
- Cytotoxicity testing of TiN coating
 - Bioburden testing of TiN coated implant
 - Verification of coating pullout strength
 - Wear testing for 5 million cycles
 - Overlay analysis of femoral component dimensions
 - Risk Analysis and Design Control Review
 
These tests are related to the material properties, manufacturing processes, and mechanical performance of the knee implant, not the diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness of an AI system.
Therefore, I cannot populate the requested table and answer the specific questions about an AI/algorithm study as the provided text pertains to a different type of medical device submission (a knee prosthesis with a material coating modification).

The tibial post component is available as an I-Beam or Finned keel variant. The tibial base plate, bolt and post components are manufactured from titanium alloy.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "TriVerse Total Knee Replacement System." It is a submission to the FDA seeking clearance for market because the manufacturer believes it is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
The document does not describe AI/ML device performance or the study that proves an AI/ML meets acceptance criteria. Instead, it focuses on the substantial equivalence of materials, design, and performance testing for a physical orthopedic implant (knee replacement system) compared to existing predicate devices.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study details for an AI/ML device from this document. The provided text does not contain information about:

The Signature Orthopaedics' TLC Unicompartmental Knee comprising the femur component, tibial component and meniscal inserts is designed for a single compartment of the natural knee joint. The TLC Unicompartmental Knee is indicated for cemented use in partial knee arthroplasty procedures. Partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee is indicated only when only one compartment of the joint is affected due to the compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty.
The TLC Unicompartmental Knee system is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert and a tibial baseplate. The femoral component is manufactured from cast cobalt chromium alloy and are intended for use with bone cement. The tibial baseplate component is manufactured from titanium alloy and intended for use with bone cement. The meniscal insert is manufactured from UHMWPE.
This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (TLC Unicompartmental Knee System). It grants the manufacturer permission to market the device based on its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
Crucially, this document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria (e.g., performance metrics, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or multi-reader studies).
The "Performance Testing" section lists the types of non-clinical tests performed (e.g., Range of motion analysis, Tibial plate fatigue testing), but it does not provide any specific acceptance criteria or the results of these tests. It merely states that "Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the TLC UniKnee system is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use."
Therefore, I cannot extract the information required to populate the requested table and answer the questions directly from the provided text. The document focuses on regulatory clearance based on substantial equivalence, not on a detailed clinical or performance study demonstrating specific achievement of acceptance criteria.

Signature Orthopaedic's World Knee replacement components may be intended for cemented or cementless use. Please verify whether the particular component is intented for cementless use by checking the package label.
The World Knee Total Knee System is a modular knee system consisting of a femoral component, meniscal insert, a patella and a tibial baseplate or all polyethylene tibia. The femoral component and meniscal inserts are available as posterior Stabilized or cruciate retaining variants. Cruciate retaining meniscal inserts are available as standard or ultracongruent designs. The tibial baseplate components covered in this 510(k) is made of Titanium as part of the cemented version. The patella components are available in a spherical or non-symmetrical designs.
The primary purpose of this Special 510(k) Device Modification to the World Knee System is to notify the FDA of the change in materials used to manufacture the tibial inserts (all variants (CR, PS and UC) of modular meniscal insert and all-poly tibial baseplate components) to Vitamin-E Stabilized, 100 kGy crosslinked UHMWPE (Vit-E HXLPE). This 510(k) also notifies the FDA of minor design updates to the implants and reusable instruments.
Materials: Wrought Cobalt-28Chromium-6Molybdenum Alloy (ASTM F1537-11) for the femoral component, Wrought Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136-13) for the tibial baseplate components, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) for all variants of the patellar implants, Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) or Vit-E HXLPE for the Allpoly tibial baseplate components and modular meniscal tibial inserts.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification from the FDA, approving the "World Knee Total Knee System". It primarily discusses the substantial equivalence of a modified device (incorporating Vitamin-E Stabilized, crosslinked UHMWPE for tibial inserts) to its previously cleared predicate devices.
Crucially, this document focuses on mechanical and material engineering evaluations, not on clinical performance studies involving human subjects or AI algorithms. Therefore, it does not contain information related to the acceptance criteria and study designs that would be relevant for devices that perform functions like image analysis or diagnostic assistance (e.g., AI-powered medical devices).
The acceptance criteria mentioned in this document are entirely related to the physical and material properties of the knee implant. The "study" proving the device meets these criteria is a series of engineering evaluations and material testing, performed in a lab setting, not a clinical trial with human subjects.
Therefore, many of the requested categories for AI/clinical study information (e.g., sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, effect size, training set details) are not applicable to this type of device submission.
Here's an attempt to fill in the table and address the questions based solely on the provided text, recognizing that most of the requested information (especially for AI/clinical studies) is absent:

Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This is not a study requiring adjudication of expert opinions. The "results" are quantitative measurements from standardized laboratory tests.
 
 - 
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:
- No. An MRMC study is completely irrelevant for this device. This is a knee implant, not a diagnostic imaging device or an AI application.
 
 - 
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is not an algorithm or AI device. "Performance" here refers to the device's physical and material integrity, not its diagnostic accuracy.
 
 - 
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by validated engineering and material testing standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO standards). These standards define the methodologies and acceptable ranges for properties like density, mechanical strength, wear resistance, and oxidation. The goal is to demonstrate that the new material/design is "substantially equivalent" or superior to existing, legally marketed predicates in terms of these physical characteristics.
 
 - 
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.
 
 - 
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.
 
 
In summary, this FDA 510(k) approval document is focused on demonstrating the physical and mechanical equivalence of a new knee implant material and minor design updates to a previously cleared device, based on established engineering and material science principles, not on clinical performance or AI/diagnostic evaluation.

The SignaSure Dual Mobility System consists of cementless and cemented shells, and a poly component. The SignaSure Poly is manufactured from crosslinked polyethylene and is spherical in geometry with outer and inner spherical conforming articular surfaces. The inner articular surface mates and retains a femoral head. The outer articular surface articulates within the highly polished inner diameter of the SignaSure Cementless or Cemented Cup. The SignaSure Cementless Cup is manufactured from CoCr alloy and is sequentially plasma sprayed with titanium coating and hydroxyapatite to gain cementless fixation. The SignaSure Cemented Cup is manufactured from CoCr alloy and is grit blasted and macro textured to aid in fixation via bone cement.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the SignaSure Dual Mobility System, which is a hip replacement prosthesis. The document does not describe specific acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML algorithm or a diagnostic device.
Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices, which is the cornerstone of the 510(k) pathway for medical devices. The performance testing mentioned is for the physical device itself (a hip implant), not for an AI algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or human reader effectiveness improvement, as these concepts are not applicable to the content of the provided document.
The document does mention:
- Performance Testing: Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the SignaSure Dual Mobility System is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use. The specific tests performed were:
- Head assembly/disassembly/lever out testing
 - Range of motion analysis
 - Coating adhesion
 - Articular surface wear
 - Impingement testing
 - Post impingement lever out testing
These tests are typical for mechanical hip implants to assess their durability, functionality, and structural integrity. The document states that these results support the substantial equivalence claim, meaning the device's performance is comparable to marketed predicate devices. 
 
However, none of the other requested information (related to AI acceptance criteria, clinical study design for AI, training/test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies) is present in this FDA 510(k) document.
