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 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 PKA guide system is a medical device designed to implant a partial knee prosthesis during partial knee arthroplasty surgical procedures.

The 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 pre-surgical PKA plan for a specific patient.
• . A hardware component, branded as Materialise PKA Guides and Models, which are patientspecific guides and models that are based on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Materialise PKA 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 tibia is delivered with the Materialise PKA Guides. The Materialise PKA Guides and Models assist in the intra-operative positioning of partial knee replacement components. The guides assist in guiding the marking of bone before cutting and cutting of the bone. The models serve as a visual reference for the surgeon in the operating room.

The Materialise PKA Guides and Models must only be used within the intended use of the compatible components (510(k) cleared, legally marketed prosthesis).

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for the Materialise PKA Guide System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the manner requested (e.g., in terms of sensitivity, specificity, or human improvement with AI assistance).

The document states that the new device is an update to an existing one (K173970) and primarily incorporates compatibility with additional knee implant systems (Persona® Partial Knee). It emphasizes that the device shares the same fundamental scientific technology, intended use, and software codebase as the predicate.

Therefore, many of the requested details, such as specific acceptance criteria for performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, expert ground truth establishment, or human-in-the-loop study results, are not present in this document. The document relies on the prior clearance of the predicate device and the claim that the changes do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

However, based on the information provided, here's what can be extracted and inferred:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document does not provide a quantitative table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance in terms of typical AI/medical device evaluation metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity). Instead, the performance evaluation is framed as demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

The performance aspects highlighted are:

• Hardware:
  • Applicability of previous testing for cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, and packaging.
  • Verification that "accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended." (No specific metrics or thresholds provided).
  • Stability of device placement, surgical technique, intended use, and functional elements are similar to the predicate.
  • Biocompatibility re-evaluation: Shown to be non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritant, non-systematically toxic (acute), and non-pyrogenic according to ISO 10993-1:2008. (This is a qualitative acceptance of safety).
  • Sterilization re-evaluation: All samples passed the sterilization parameters in accordance with ISO 17665-1:2006. (This is a qualitative acceptance of safety).
• Software:
  • "New software validation/verification testing of the SurgiCase Knee Planner was done in support of this premarket notification in the form of end-user evaluations." (No specific metrics or quantitative performance results for these evaluations are provided).
  • The software technology is stated to have the same codebase and use the "exact same methods for design and verification and validation as the predicate device."
  • The "subject software technology differences have been demonstrated to not affectiveness or raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device."

2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:

• Test Set Sample Size: Not specified. The document mentions "end-user evaluations" for software and "simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models" and "cadaver testing" (from the predicate device) for hardware, but no specific sample sizes for these test cases are given.
• Data Provenance: Not specified. It's implied some internal "end-user evaluations" were done. The document does not indicate the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

This information is not provided. The document states that "end-user evaluations" were performed but does not elaborate on the nature of these evaluations, who performed them, or how ground truth was established, particularly for performance metrics beyond basic functionality.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

This information is not provided.

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:

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned or implied. The device is a surgical guide system and planning software, not a diagnostic AI tool where human reader improvement is typically measured. The focus is on the hardware's ability to assist in positioning and guiding, and the software's ability to plan.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

The software component (SurgiCase Knee Planner) is described as a "pre-surgical planner" that allows the surgeon to "visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data." It explicitly states that the surgeon inspects, fine-tunes, and approves the pre-surgical plan. Therefore, it is inherently a human-in-the-loop system, and a standalone algorithm-only performance assessment (in the sense of a fully automated diagnosis or measurement) is not the primary mode of evaluation described. The "new software validation/verification testing... in the form of end-user evaluations" would likely involve human interaction with the software.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

This is not explicitly stated in the provided text. For hardware performance, the "accuracy and performance" would likely be judged against technical specifications for guide fit and alignment, possibly through physical measurements on bone models or cadavers. For software, "end-user evaluations" might involve assessing the accuracy of measurements, reconstruction, or the usability of the planning interface against known anatomical landmarks or surgical objectives, likely established by expert surgeons. However, the exact method for establishing this "ground truth" is not detailed.

8. The sample size for the training set:

The document describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device (surgical guides and planning software), not an AI model that undergoes a distinct "training" phase with a large dataset. The software is built based on established algorithms and presumably validated against engineering specifications and clinical use cases, but there's no mention of a "training set" in the context of machine learning.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

As there is no mention of a "training set" in the context of machine learning, this information is not applicable/provided. The software is described as having the "same code base as the predicate device and uses exactly the same methods for design and verification and validation."

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Materialise PKA Guide System. It is a surgical instrument intended to assist in the positioning of Partial Knee Replacement components.

Based on the provided text, the device itself is not a diagnostic AI/ML algorithm. Instead, it seems to be software that assists in pre-surgical planning (Materialise PKA Planner) which then informs the design of patient-specific surgical guides (Materialise PKA Guides) created for physical use during surgery. The "Performance Data" section explicitly states, "No new testing of the Materialise PKA Guides was done in support of this pre-market notification." and "New software validation/verification testing of the Materialise PKA Planner was done in support of this pre-market notification in the form of usability evaluations."

Therefore, the document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves an AI/ML device meets certain performance metrics, especially not in the context of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or human reader improvement with AI assistance. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for a surgical guide system.

In particular, the request asks for:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not present for an AI/ML diagnostic. The document refers to "usability evaluations" for the software.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML diagnostic test set.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
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 done and not applicable to this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The "Materialise PKA Planner" software requires a surgeon to "inspect, fine-tune and approve the pre-surgical plan."
7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable for an AI/ML diagnostic. The "ground truth" for the surgical guides is based on the pre-surgical plan approved by the surgeon and the intended anatomical alignment during surgery.
8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is not an ML algorithm in the sense of being "trained" on a large dataset for diagnosis.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document discusses "Performance Data" but this refers to non-clinical testing for biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, and the applicability of previous cadaver testing for guidance stability. For the software component, it mentions "usability evaluations."

Conclusion: The provided document is for a medical device (surgical guide system and its planning software) and does not contain the information requested about the acceptance criteria and study proving an AI/ML diagnostic device's performance. The device is not an AI/ML diagnostic.

The Materialise PKA Guide System is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in the positioning of Partial Knee Replacement components intra-operatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting and to guide cutting of the bone provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans.

The Materialise PKA Guide System is to be used with ZUK UNI, JOURNEY™ UNI, JOURNEY II UNI, JZ (Hybrid) UNI knee systems prostheses families only.

The Materialise PKA Guides are intended for single use only.

Materialise PKA Guides are patient-specific medical devices that are designed to implant partial knee prosthesis.

The Materialise PKA Guides must only be used in conjunction with the 510(k) cleared, legally marketed prosthesis. Consult the prosthesis labeling and instructions for specific patient indications, contraindications, associated risks, information for use, warnings and precautions. Materialise PKA Guides is an instrument set containing a femur and/or tibia template(s) and bone models.

The provided document is an FDA 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Materialise PKA Guide System. While it discusses the device's intended use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, it does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or the study that directly proves the device meets those criteria for software performance.

The document states: "Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the subject device are the same as that of the predicate Zimmer Patient Specific Instruments System (K112301) and therefore previous cadaver testing on predicate device K112301 is considered applicable to the subject device."

This indicates that general performance and accuracy testing was conducted, and the results were deemed adequate. However, it does not provide the specific "acceptance criteria" or the "reported device performance" in a quantitative table format, nor does it detail the specifics of such a study (sample size, data provenance, ground truth establishment, etc.).

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance or the detailed study information based on the provided text. The document refers to "previous cadaver testing on predicate device K112301" as applicable, but it does not describe this testing in detail.
