    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

    The provided document (K221705) is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "U2 Total Knee System-PF+". This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

    It is crucial to understand that this document describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (knee replacement components), not an AI-powered or software-based medical device. Therefore, the concepts of acceptance criteria for AI performance, training and test sets for AI models, expert ground truth for imaging, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance are not applicable to this submission.

    The document discusses acceptance criteria and proof of meeting them, but these relate to the mechanical and material properties, biocompatibility, and sterilization of the knee implant components, not to the performance of an AI algorithm.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for an AI-powered device based on this document.

    However, I can extract information relevant to the device's performance, which is related to its mechanical and material integrity:


    Information from the document relevant to the device's "performance" (mechanical/material):

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

    The document broadly states that "the test results indicated that this device is safe and effective" and that "Verification activities on Subject devices demonstrated equivalent safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices."

    Specific acceptance criteria (e.g., "fatigue strength must exceed X N at Y cycles") and the exact reported values are not explicitly provided in a table format within this 510(k) summary. The summary typically refers to the fact that these tests were conducted and met the necessary standards for substantial equivalence.

    However, the types of performance tests conducted are listed:

    Test ConductedPerformance Indication (Implicit)
    Femoral component fatigue testDevice meets fatigue life requirements for load-bearing in the knee
    Tibial baseplate fatigue testDevice meets fatigue life requirements for load-bearing in the knee
    Articulating surface finish of femoral componentSurface smoothness is adequate for proper articulation and wear resistance
    Finish of non-articulating surface of tibial baseplateSurface quality is appropriate for non-articulating areas (e.g., tissue contact, fixation)
    Microstructure of the modified surfaceMaterial structure is as intended, contributing to mechanical properties and biological fixation
    Mechanical properties of the modified surfaceMaterial strength, stiffness, etc., are consistent with design and predicate devices
    Bacteria endotoxin testingEndotoxin levels are below specified limits (met USP ) ensuring biocompatibility and safety for implantation

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

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each mechanical test. For mechanical testing of components, samples typically refer to a number of physical units or prototypes tested, not patient data.
    • Data Provenance: The tests are performed by the manufacturer, United Orthopedic Corporation (located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan). The testing is primarily laboratory-based mechanical and material characterization, not clinical data. Therefore, concepts like "country of origin of the data" or "retrospective/prospective" in the clinical sense are not applicable.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

    This question is not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant, not an AI system interpreting medical images. "Ground truth" in this context would be defined by engineering specifications, material standards (e.g., ASTM F75, F136, F620, F1580), and validated test methodologies (e.g., fatigue testing standards). The "experts" involved would be materials scientists, mechanical engineers, and quality assurance professionals, whose qualifications are implicit in the adherence to recognized standards.

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

    This question is not applicable. Mechanical tests have specific physical or chemical endpoints determined by validated methods and equipment, not human subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.

    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:

    This question is not applicable. MRMC studies are for assessing diagnostic accuracy of imaging or AI systems with human readers. This device is a mechanical implant.

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

    This question is not applicable. This device is a mechanical implant.

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

    The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by:

    • Adherence to international and national standards for materials (e.g., ASTM F75, F136, F620, F1580).
    • Validated mechanical testing methodologies (e.g., fatigue testing, surface finish measurements).
    • Biocompatibility standards (e.g., USP for endotoxin).
    • Comparison to the established performance characteristics of predicate devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    This question is not applicable. There is no AI model or "training set" for this mechanical device.

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

    This question is not applicable.

    AI/ML Overview

    This is a medical device clearance, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, the questions regarding AI/ML device evaluations (sample size, experts, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth establishment for training set, etc.) are not applicable.

    The document describes the acceptance criteria and study for a Tibial baseplate and Tibial insert, which are components of a knee replacement system. This is a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the concepts related to AI/ML device performance such as ground truth, expert adjudication, train/test sets, effect size of AI assistance, etc., are not relevant to this document.

    However, I can extract the information provided regarding the device's performance analysis and acceptance criteria, based on the non-clinical tests conducted.

    Here's the summary of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

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

    The document does not explicitly list 'acceptance criteria' with numerical targets and then 'reported device performance' side-by-side in a table format. Instead, it states that "the following non-clinical tests were conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the subjected device, and the test results indicated that this device is safe and effective." This implies that the device met the internal acceptance criteria for each test.

    Acceptance Criteria Category (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Implied by Conclusion)
    Range of MotionMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements
    Locking Strength of Tibial baseplate and InsertMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements
    Contact Area and Contact PressureMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements
    Wear Simulation TestMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements
    Fatigue Test of Tibial baseplateMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements
    Spine Fatigue Test of Tibial insertMet Safety and Effectiveness requirements

    2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    The document does not specify the sample sizes (number of devices tested) for the non-clinical tests. It also does not provide information about data provenance as these are laboratory-based mechanical tests, not clinical data sets.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis.

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

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical device. Adjudication methods are relevant for subjective interpretations, typically in clinical studies or AI/ML ground truth establishment.

    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. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML device.

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

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML device.

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

    Not applicable. For mechanical devices, "ground truth" is typically defined by engineering specifications, material properties, and mechanical test standards (e.g., ISO or ASTM standards) that define acceptable performance limits. The document states that the "non-clinical tests were conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness," implying adherence to established engineering and material science principles, but specific ground truth definition is not explicitly detailed in this summary.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

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

    Not applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI/ML device.

The X-ray marking wire which is made of Co-20Cr-15W-10Ni alloy is embedded in the All Poly Tibial Component for X-ray image identification purpose.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no information about acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes, data provenance, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone algorithm performance, or ground truth establishment for a device that uses AI or machine learning.

    The document describes a medical device called "All Poly Tibial Component," which is a knee implant. The "Performance Data" section explicitly states "Non-clinical Performance" and lists mechanical tests like Range of Motion, Contact Area and Contact Pressure, Constraint Test, Wear Simulation Test, and Fatigue Test. It also explicitly states "Clinical Performance Data/Information: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence."

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information.

    Intended Use

    The U2 Total Knee system is indicated in knee arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved knee function in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts if the knee can be satisfactorily balanced and stabilized at the time of surgery. This device is a single use implant and intended for cemented use only.

    Device Description

    This subjected device includes femoral component, tibial insert, XPE tibial insert and ultracongruent insert. It is a size extension to the cleared "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System (K051640, K120507, K131864, K103733, K132752, and K140073). The indications, materials, design of this subject device are identical to the cleared "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System except for its dimension.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the U2 Total Knee System-Additional Sizes. This document outlines the regulatory filing for a medical device and typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than presenting a detailed study proving the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria in terms of AI/software performance.

    Therefore, many of the requested categories related to AI/software performance, such as sample size for test sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details, are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission for a physical knee implant.

    However, I can extract information related to the device's non-clinical performance and its comparison to a predicate device, as that is the focus of this document.

    Here's the breakdown of the information that can be extracted, and where applicable, a note on why certain information is not present:


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

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative "acceptance criteria" for the non-clinical tests in the usual sense of a specific pass/fail threshold with reported numerical performance values against those thresholds. Instead, it states that the tests "demonstrated that this device is safe and effective." The demonstration of safety and effectiveness relies on the device having the "same basic design, intended use, materials and the same manufacturing method" as predicate devices, with the only difference being "dimension." The non-clinical tests listed below were performed to confirm performance characteristics.

    Test PerformedReported Device Performance
    Range of Motion"demonstrated that this device is safe and effective"
    Contact Area and Contact Pressure on Femorotibial Joint"demonstrated that this device is safe and effective"
    Contact Area and Contact Pressure on Femoropatellar Joint"demonstrated that this device is safe and effective"

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of conventional AI/software ground truth. The "truth" for this device lies in its compliance with engineering standards, material properties, and mechanical performance under simulated physiological conditions, benchmarked against predicate devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.


    Summary of the Study that Proves the Device Meets Acceptance Criteria (as described in the document):

    The "study" refers to a series of non-clinical performance tests conducted on the U2 Total Knee System-Additional Sizes. The summary states these tests were performed "in accordance with the Agency's, 'Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA'".

    The key premise for demonstrating safety and effectiveness and meeting acceptance criteria, as per this 510(k) summary, is substantial equivalence to several predicate devices (e.g., "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System K051640). The document explicitly states:

    • "U2 Total Knee System, Additional Sizes has the same basic design, intended use, materials and the same manufacturing method as device of the 'United' U2 Total Knee System..."
    • "The only difference between the cleared and subjected device is dimension."

    The non-clinical tests listed above (Range of Motion, Contact Area and Pressure, Constraint, Fatigue Compression, Locking Strength, Fatigue Performance of Insert Spine, Material Properties) were performed to confirm that, despite the dimensional differences, the additional sizes maintain the same performance characteristics as the predicate devices, thereby ensuring safety and effectiveness. The conclusion provided is that "the test results demonstrated that this device is safe and effective."

    Clinical Performance Data:
    The document explicitly states: "None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence." This reinforces that the substantial equivalence determination for this submission relies entirely on non-clinical data and comparison to predicate devices, rather than new clinical trials for the specific additional sizes.

    Intended Use

    This device is indicated in knee arthroplasty in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion contraction. This device is intended for use in patients who require augmentation and/or stem extensions due to inadequate bone stock and/or require increased stabilization for tibiofemoral joint due to soft tissue imbalance. The femoral and tibial augments are to be attached to their respective components with a fixation screw or screws. Note: In the US, this device is for cemented use only.

    Device Description

    "UNITED" Augment and Screw - PSA Type, including femoral augments - distal only and tibial augments, is an extension of cleared "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System -PSA Type (K082424). The raw materials, safety and effectiveness of this subject device are identical to the "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System - PSA Type (K082424), except for increasing their thickness and modifying the shape to mimic anatomy. Femoral augment - distal only made of Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F75 or ASTM F1537) are available in 12 mm and 16 mm thickness and can be positioned on either side of femoral component. This component is only available distally. Tibial augments are made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy (ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3) and with 15 mm thickness. The periphery of the distal end of tibial augments is larger than that of the proximal end. It is left/right specific. The femoral augments and tibial augments are sized to match the femoral components and tibial base plates, respectively. There are 6 sizes (sizes #1 through 6) to match the corresponding augmentable femoral components - PSA type and tibial baseplates - PSA type (K082424). The augments are affixed to the tibial and femoral components with screw fixation and that the implant construct as a whole is to be fixed with cement. This device should not be used with another manufacturer's total knee systems since dimensional compatibility cannot be assured. It also should not be used with U2 Total Knee System - PS Type and CR Type. For total knee replacement, "UNITED" patella components (K021657, K051640, K082469, and K103733) are intended to be used with U2 Total Knee System - PSA Type (K082424) and the subject device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the "Augment and Screw, PSA Type" knee system. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily through engineering and manufacturing comparisons rather than clinical performance data typical of AI/ML devices. Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable to this type of submission.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information relative to your request:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Locking Strength between femoral component and femoral augmentDemonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate device.
    Locking Strength between tibial baseplate and tibial augmentDemonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate device.

    Explanation: The document states, "The locking strength evaluation between femoral component and femoral augment, as well as tibial baseplate and tibial augment completed as part of the design assurance process, demonstrated that this device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." Acceptance criteria for "locking strength" are not explicitly quantified (e.g., minimum Newtons of force, cycles endured), but the conclusion is that the new device performs equivalently to established predicate devices.

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

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated. The performance data section refers to "locking strength evaluation," implying mechanical testing rather than a clinical dataset. The number of samples tested for this evaluation is not provided.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the traditional sense of clinical data. This is a mechanical engineering evaluation of a physical device.

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

    • Not Applicable. Ground truth, in the context of AI/ML, refers to human annotations or confirmed diagnoses used for model training and validation. For this mechanical device, "ground truth" would be the measured physical properties during testing, likely assessed against engineering specifications by qualified engineers or technicians, though their qualifications are not detailed.

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

    • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used to resolve discrepancies among expert opinions in clinical ground truth establishment. This document describes mechanical testing.

    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. This is a hardware device (knee augment and screw) and not an AI/ML-driven device that assists human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study is not relevant to this submission.

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

    • No. This is a hardware device. "Standalone performance" in the context of AI/ML refers to the algorithm's performance without human intervention. This concept does not apply here.

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

    • Mechanical Test Results/Engineering Specifications. The "ground truth" for this device's performance would be the direct measurements from mechanical tests (e.g., force required for failure, displacement under load) compared against established engineering standards or the performance of predicate devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not Applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an AI/ML model for this hardware device. The device's design is based on engineering principles and iterative design assurance processes, not machine learning.

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

    • Not Applicable. See point 8.

The materials; design, safety and effectiveness of this subject is identical to the previously cleared femoral components - PS type of "UNITED" U2 Total Knee System (available in sizes #1~#6 ranging from 52mm/ 56mm AP-ML to 72mm/ 76mm A/P-M/L), except for its larger size (76mm/80mm A/P-M/L). This device machined from cast Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforming to ASTM F75 are available in left and right configurations. Fixation of the femoral component to the femur is achieved using bone cement. This device is intended to be used with the previously cleared U2 PS tibial insert (K051640), U2 XPE tibial inserts - PS type (K112463), U2 tibial baseplate (K051640), U2 Patella components (K051640, K082469) and U2 XPE Patella components (K112463) in anv size. The size extending of femoral component does not affect the intended use of the device or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a medical device, the U2 Femoral Component, PS, #7, which is an additional size extension to an existing knee prosthesis.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state specific numerical acceptance criteria for performance metrics. Instead, it relies on the concept of "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices. The performance data presented are qualitative statements indicating that tests were completed and demonstrated safety and effectiveness.

    Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Not explicitly stated numerically)Reported Device Performance
    Range of motionImplied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Analysis completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective
    Fatigue TestImplied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Test completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective
    Subluxation of femorotibial jointImplied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Evaluation completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective
    Contact area (femoropatellar/femorotibial)Implied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Analysis completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective
    Contact pressure (femoropatellar/femorotibial)Implied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Analysis completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective
    Femoral component fatigue fractureImplied: Equivalent to predicate device K051640Evaluation completed; demonstrated device is safe and effective

    The study that "proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" is described as the completion of these performance tests as "part of the design assurance process." The conclusion derived is that the device is "substantially equivalent to the predicate device."


    Additional Requested Information:

    Since this document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (a knee prosthesis component), the requested information typically relates to AI/software performance studies. This document does not describe an AI or software-based device, but rather a physical implant. Therefore, many of the questions regarding AI-specific study details (such as sample size for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, MRMC studies) are not applicable in this context.

    However, I will address what can be inferred from the provided text in relation to these points:

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

    • Not applicable for AI/software. For the physical device, mechanical and material tests were performed. The "test set" would refer to the number of components tested for each performance metric (e.g., how many components underwent fatigue testing). This detail is not provided in the summary.
    • Data provenance: The testing was part of the "design assurance process" presumably conducted by the manufacturer, United Orthopedic Corporation, based in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

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

    • Not applicable for AI/software. For a physical implant, ground truth is established through engineering and biomechanical principles and standardized testing methods (e.g., ASTM F75 for Co-Cr-Mo alloy). Expert consensus in the traditional sense of clinical imaging interpretation is not relevant here.

    4. Adjudication method for the test set:

    • Not applicable for AI/software. For mechanical testing, adjudication would involve interpreting test results against engineering specifications or established standards, rather than clinical consensus.

    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. This device is a physical knee implant, not an AI or software diagnostic tool. No human reader study with or without AI assistance would be relevant for demonstrating its performance.

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

    • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device.

    7. The type of ground truth used:

    • For mechanical and material properties, the ground truth is based on engineering standards, biomechanical principles, and performance characteristics established for predicate devices. For example, the Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforms to ASTM F75.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is a physical knee implant, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.

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

    • Not applicable. (See point 8)
