    Device Description

    "United" USTAR II System is used for patients who present large quantity of bone loss and deformity associated with previous failed arthroplasty, ligament deficiencies, tumor resection, or trauma and may require a further operation or reconstruction. The USTAR II System includes implanted arthroplasty components of both the USTAR II Knee System and USTAR II Hip System.

    For the subject device, it's an extension line of 510(K) cleared device USTAR II System (K190100), which introduces two new variations:

    1. Cemented curved stem, RHS, non-coated: diameter 17×200 mm
    2. Tibial stem: stem length from 30mm to 150 mm by stem diameter from diameter 9 to diameter 24

    The compatibility of cemented curved stem, RHS, non-coated and tibial stem is same as that of the 510(k) cleared USTAR II system (K190100).

    Cemented Curved Stem, RHS, non-coated is an extension in terms of sizes to 510 (k) cleared device USTAR II system (K190100). Its design, materials, geometrical characteristic, locking mechanism, and manufacturing process are identical to that of the 510(k) cleared Cemented Curved Stem, RHS, non-coated.

    Tibial stem's design, materials, geometrical characteristic, locking mechanism, and manufacturing process are identical to that of the 510(k) cleared Tibial Stem while the only difference lies in its specification

    AI/ML Overview

    Please note: The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary describe a medical device (Stem Extension Line for the USTAR II System), which is an orthopedic implant. This document does not describe an AI/Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

    Therefore, the requested information about "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the context of an AI/SaMD, including details like "number of experts used to establish ground truth," "adjudication method," "MRMC study," "standalone performance," "training set size," and "ground truth establishment for training set," are not applicable to this type of device submission.

    The provided text focuses on the mechanical and design equivalence of the new implant variations to a previously cleared predicate device. The "study" mentioned refers to non-clinical mechanical analyses.

    Below is an interpretation of the requested points adapted to the context of this orthopedic implant:


    Acceptance Criteria and Study for the Stem Extension Line (USTAR II System)

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    For this orthopedic implant, the acceptance criteria are based on established international standards for the mechanical performance of prosthetic components and demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device.

    Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Test Standard / RequirementDevice Performance (Reported Outcome)
    Stem Fatigue AnalysisISO 7206-4 (Implants for surgery — Partial and total hip joint prostheses — Part 4: Determination of endurance properties and performance of stemmed femoral components)Met required acceptance criteria. (Implied to be comparable to or better than the predicate device under the specified test conditions).
    Mechanical Strength of Tibial BaseplateASTM F1800 (Standard Practice for Testing of the Cement-Stem Interface for Femoral Hip Prosthesis) and ISO 21536:2023 (Implants for surgery — Joint replacement prostheses — Specific requirements for knee joint prostheses)Met required acceptance criteria. (Implied to be comparable to or better than the predicate device under the specified test conditions).
    Design, Materials, Geometrical Characteristics, Locking Mechanism, Manufacturing ProcessIdentical to 510(k) cleared USTAR II system (K190100).Confirmed identical.
    Safety and EffectivenessEquivalent to predicate devices based on the same analysis method applied in previous submission; no new risks identified.Established equivalent safety and effectiveness.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a number of physical implants or test articles in the provided summary. For mechanical testing, typically a defined number of test samples are used per standard, but the specific quantity is not given here.
    • Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical mechanical analyses performed to international standards (ISO, ASTM). The origin of the "data" itself would be the laboratory where these mechanical tests were conducted. It's a prospective design verification process, not a retrospective or prospective clinical study with human data.

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

    • Not Applicable. This is a non-clinical, mechanical device clearance. "Ground truth" in the context of clinical interpretation or diagnosis by experts (e.g., radiologists) is not relevant here. Ground truth is established by standardized material properties, engineering specifications, and mechanical test results per the referenced ISO and ASTM standards. Experts involved would be engineers and material scientists responsible for the design, testing, and analysis, ensuring compliance with manufacturing and performance standards.

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

    • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 typically refer to consensus readings or evaluations by multiple human experts in studies involving subjective interpretation (e.g., imaging, clinical outcomes). For mechanical testing, the results are quantitative and objective, measured against predefined acceptance criteria from engineering standards.

    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. MRMC studies are specific to evaluating the clinical performance of diagnostic aids, particularly those involving human interpretation, and are commonly used for AI/ML in medical imaging. This submission concerns the mechanical safety and functionality of an orthopedic implant. No human reader involvement or AI assistance is relevant.

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

    • Not Applicable. "Standalone performance" refers to the performance of an AI algorithm independent of human input. This device is a physical orthopedic implant, not an algorithm or software.

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

    • The "ground truth" for this type of device is based on engineering standards and specifications. This includes:
      • Material properties: Verifying components meet specified material strengths and compositions.
      • Geometric tolerances: Ensuring dimensions align with design specifications.
      • Mechanical performance: Demonstrating the implant can withstand anticipated loads and stresses as defined by the ISO and ASTM test standards (e.g., fatigue life, static strength).
      • Equivalence to Predicate Device: The primary "ground truth" is that the new variations perform equivalently to or better than the already cleared predicate device under the same test conditions.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device where a "training set" of data is used to develop an algorithm. The "design" and "manufacturing process" are based on established engineering principles and prior validated designs (the predicate device).

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

    • Not Applicable. As there is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML algorithm for this physical device, there is no method for establishing its "ground truth." The design and manufacturing processes are validated through engineering analyses and quality control processes to meet the required specifications and standards.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Clearance Letter from the FDA for a total knee system. It details the device's name, regulation, a summary of its description, intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with a list of non-clinical tests conducted.

    However, the document specifically states "No clinical data is necessary." This means that the clearance was not based on a clinical study demonstrating the device's performance against detailed acceptance criteria in human patients with the format typically requested in your prompt (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, human-in-the-loop performance, ground truth establishment by experts, etc.).

    Instead, the clearance is based on the substantial equivalence of the new device to existing legally marketed predicate devices, primarily through non-clinical testing and technological comparison.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from a clinical study, as no such study was presented or required for this 510(k) clearance.

    The "acceptance criteria" for this device, as implied by the FDA clearance, revolve around demonstrating that its technological characteristics and non-clinical performance are substantially equivalent to already cleared devices.

    Here's what I can extract from the document regarding the non-clinical tests that functionally served as part of the "proof" that the device meets some form of performance criteria:

    Summary of Non-Clinical Tests (Implicit Acceptance Criteria & Performance):

    Test ConductedPurpose (Implicit Acceptance Criteria)Reported Performance
    Pull-out testTo demonstrate adequate mechanical fixation strength, particularly for the patella's pegs and porous coating intended for cementless or cemented application. The implicit acceptance criterion would be that the pull-out strength meets or exceeds established industry standards or predicate device performance for similar implants, ensuring secure attachment in the bone.(Details of results not provided in the 510(k) letter, but implied to be acceptable to FDA.)
    Characterization of Ti porous coatingTo ensure the porous Ti structure meets specifications for biocompatibility, porosity, and surface characteristics conducive to bone ingrowth and secure fixation. Acceptance criteria would involve adherence to specified material standards (e.g., ASTM 2924 for Ti-6Al-4V alloy) and potentially specific measurements of pore size, interconnectivity, and coating thickness, as referenced by the FDA guidance documents listed.(Details of results not provided, but implied to be acceptable to FDA.)
    Durability testTo assess the long-term mechanical integrity and resistance to wear and fatigue of the patella components (e.g., UHMWPE and metal back) under simulated physiological loading conditions. The acceptance criterion would be that the device maintains its structural integrity and functional performance over a clinically relevant lifespan, comparable to or exceeding predicate devices.(Details of results not provided, but implied to be acceptable to FDA.)
    Usability evaluationTo evaluate the ease of use, safety, and effectiveness of the device's design, particularly for the surgical implantation process. This might involve simulated use by surgeons or assessment of design features that minimize surgical errors. The acceptance criterion would be that the device can be safely and effectively implanted without undue difficulty or risk.(Details of results not provided, but implied to be acceptable to FDA.)
    Endotoxin testingTo ensure the device is free from harmful levels of bacterial endotoxins, which can cause adverse patient reactions if present. The acceptance criterion is typically a low or undetectable level of endotoxins, meeting pharmacopeial standards for medical devices.(Details of results not provided, but implied to be acceptable to FDA.)

    Since no clinical study was conducted or referenced in this 510(k) clearance documentation, the following points of your request cannot be addressed from the provided text:

    • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used. The non-clinical tests were performed on device prototypes or samples.
    • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... / qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for clinical performance was not established.
    • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done...: Not applicable.
    • If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
    • The type of ground truth used: For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering and material science standards and methodologies (e.g., ASTM standards for material properties, mechanical testing protocols).
    • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In essence, this 510(k) clearance is a regulatory determination of substantial equivalence based on non-clinical performance data and technological comparisons to predicate devices, not on a clinical trial demonstrating performance against specific diagnostic or treatment outcome acceptance criteria in humans.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "USTAR II System" by United Orthopedic Corporation. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria and conducting a study to prove performance against those criteria in the context of an AI/ML device.

    Therefore, the requested information for an AI/ML device (e.g., acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, standalone performance) is not applicable to this document.

    The document describes a medical device (a knee and hip prosthesis system) and its non-clinical performance testing. It states that "Performance data demonstrate the device is as safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices."

    Here's what can be extracted regarding the device performance and testing for this non-AI/ML medical device:

    1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Non-AI/ML)

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a table format for diagnostic performance, as it's not a diagnostic AI/ML device. Instead, it lists non-clinical performance tests conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The reported performance is that the device "met" or "demonstrates" parity with predicate devices.

    Acceptance Criterion (Implicit)Reported Device Performance (Implicit)
    Device functions safely and effectively under mechanical stressPass: Hyperextension fatigue test, Internal and external rotation, Stem fatigue test, Neck fatigue test, Disassembly Force and Fretting Corrosion completed.
    Device exhibits acceptable wear and corrosion propertiesPass: Wear and corrosion test completed.
    Device has acceptable range of motionPass: Range of Motion test completed.
    Modified surface treatment is acceptablePass: Evaluation of Modified Surface Treatment completed.
    Device meets biocompatibility requirementsPass: Bacterial endotoxin testing conducted and met USP limits.
    Overall performance is substantially equivalent to predicate devicesPass: "Performance data demonstrate the device is as safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices."

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

    • Not applicable. This pertains to a physical medical device (prosthesis), not an AI/ML diagnostic algorithm that uses a "test set" of data in the common sense. The testing performed involves mechanical and material properties.

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

    • Not applicable. Ground truth establishment by experts is relevant for diagnostic AI/ML systems where human interpretation is the gold standard. For a physical device, performance is evaluated against engineering standards and validated test methods.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set

    • Not applicable. This concept belongs to the evaluation of human judgment in diagnostic AI/ML studies.

    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. MRMC studies are for evaluating how AI assistance impacts human reader performance in diagnostic tasks.

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

    • Not applicable. This refers to a diagnostic algorithm's performance in isolation. The USTAR II System is a physical implant.

    7. The type of ground truth used

    • For the non-clinical tests (e.g., fatigue, wear, endotoxin), the "ground truth" is defined by established engineering and biological standards (e.g., ISO standards, USP pharmacopeial limits). The device is tested against these predefined performance benchmarks.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML system that requires a "training set."

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

    • Not applicable.
