    Device Description

    The subject THK components are a line extension of the previously cleared Triathlon® Hinge Knee System (K223528, K230416). The THK System (K223528, K230416) is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component connected by a set of previously cleared MRH or THK Bushings and an MRH or THK Axle (K994207, K002552, K223528, K230416). A bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH or THK Axle/Bushings combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between the bearing surfaces on the underside of a tibial bearing component and a tibial insert provides motion in the rotating plane. A hinge tibial insert is assembled to a Triathlon® Hinge Revision Tibial Baseplate that incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a previously cleared MRH Tibial Sleeve (K994207, K002552) or Triathlon Tibial Sleeve (K223528, K230416). Optional distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defects.

    The subject Triathlon® Hinge Small Proximal Tibial Bearing Component and Triathlon® End Cap are sterile, single use devices intended for cemented use only and are being added to the previously cleared THK system (K223528, K230416) as an extension. They can be used with previously cleared MRH Knee components (K994207, K002552), GMRS (K023087, K222056), and Triathlon® Knee System components (K172634, K172326, K190991, K143393, K141056, K132624, K070095, K061521, K053514, K052917, K051948, K051146, K040267).

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) clearance letter is for a mechanical medical device (a knee implant system), not an AI/software as a medical device. Therefore, the request for "acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" using metrics relevant to AI/software (like sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth for training/test sets, etc.) is not applicable here.

    The document provided details about the substantial equivalence of the "Triathlon® Hinge Knee System" to previously cleared predicate devices. The "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria for a mechanical implant typically involves non-clinical (benchtop) testing and engineering analyses to demonstrate performance, material compatibility, and safety, rather than clinical trials or AI performance evaluations with ground truth.

    Here's how the provided information relates to the typical evaluation of such a device, addressing the closest analogues to your requested points:


    Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for a Mechanical Implant:

    For mechanical implants like the Triathlon® Hinge Knee System, "acceptance criteria" are generally tied to the successful completion of various non-clinical (benchtop) tests and analyses. These tests simulate the physical stresses and conditions the implant will experience in the human body. The "study" proving the device meets these criteria is the execution and successful outcome of these non-clinical tests.

    No direct table of "acceptance criteria" vs. "reported device performance" in the AI sense is provided in this 510(k) summary. Instead, the summary lists the types of non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate performance and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The implied acceptance is that the device passed these tests, meaning its performance in these simulated scenarios was deemed acceptable and comparable to existing, legally marketed devices.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document, a 510(k) Summary for the Triathlon® Tritanium® Metal-Backed Patella, focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than presenting a study of a device meeting specific acceptance criteria through performance data. Therefore, many of the requested elements for describing an acceptance criteria study are not present in this submission.

    Here's a breakdown based on the provided text:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    This document does not contain a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance metrics in the typical sense of a clinical or analytical performance study. Instead, it lists non-clinical laboratory tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. The "reported device performance" in this context is the successful completion of these tests, implying that the new device performs comparably to the predicates.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Test Type)Reported Device Performance
    Material Properties:
    Elemental Composition (ASTM E1941, E1447, E1409)Tested and found comparable to predicates
    Metallurgical & Morphological Properties (ASTM E112, F1854)Tested and found comparable to predicates
    Mechanical Properties (ASTM F1147, F1044, F1160, E8)Tested and found comparable to predicates
    Plastic Deformation of Porosity (ASTM F1854)Tested and found comparable to predicates
    Mechanical Performance:
    Static Tensile Bond Strength of UHMWPE/Metal InterfaceTested and found comparable to predicates
    Static Peg Shear StrengthTested and found comparable to predicates
    Patello-Femoral Contact Stress/Contact AreaTested and found comparable to predicates
    Malaligned Endurance TestingTested and found comparable to predicates
    Patellar Subluxation TestingTested and found comparable to predicates

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test. For non-clinical laboratory testing, the sample size typically refers to the number of test articles (patellar components) subjected to each specific test. This tends to be much smaller than clinical study sample sizes and is dependent on the specific ASTM standard or internal protocol used.
    • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical laboratory tests, likely conducted by the manufacturer (Stryker Orthopaedics) or a contract laboratory. The "country of origin of the data" would typically be the location of the testing facility, which is not specified but presumed to be a regulated environment. The data is retrospective in the sense that these are engineering and material characterization tests performed on manufactured devices.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

    This information is not applicable as this submission is for a medical device and relies on engineering and material testing standards (ASTM) to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not on expert ground truth for an AI or diagnostic device.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable. The "test set" here refers to physical components undergoing laboratory testing, not, for example, medical images requiring expert adjudication.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is used for diagnostic or AI-assisted devices to assess human reader performance. This submission is for a physical orthopedic implant.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    No, a standalone algorithm performance study was not done. This concept applies to AI/software as a medical device, which this orthopedic implant is not.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" for this submission are the established engineering and material specifications, as well as the performance characteristics of the predicate devices. The new device is tested against these benchmarks (often defined by ASTM standards) to show that its properties are within acceptable ranges and comparable to the predicates.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This is not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an orthopedic implant submission based on substantial equivalence through non-clinical testing. This term is relevant for machine learning algorithms.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    This is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

    The ShapeMatch Cutting Guides are intended for single use only.

    Device Description

    The ShapeMatch Cutting Guides are single-use, disposable, cutting guides designed and manufactured from patient imaging data (MRI/CT). The cutting guides are used to aid the surgeon intra-operatively in making the initial distal femoral and the initial proximal tibial bone cuts during a total knee arthroplasty surgery. The cutting guides also establish the references for component orientations. The cutting guides are manufactured from polyoxymethylene per ASTM F1855.

    The ShapeMatch Cutting Guides are intended for use with the Triathlon® Knee System (Cruciate Retaining (CR), Posterior Stabilized (PS) and Condylar Stabilizing (CS)) determined substantially equivalent via the following 510(k)s K031729, K040267, K042993, K051146, K051380, K053514, K062037, K061251, K063423, and K072575.

    The accessory Triathlon® Extra-medullary (EM) Universal Goniometer is available for the surgeon to use intra-operatively to check the position of the femoral and tibial components. The goniometer mates with the saw slots on both the femoral and tibial guides for use in referencing the cuts with anatomic landmarks prior to resection of the bone. The accessory Triathlon® EM Universal Goniometer is made from Stainless Steel per ASTM A564.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides ([K122053](https://510k.innolitics.com/search/K122053)) does not include information about specific acceptance criteria or a clinical study designed to prove the device meets such criteria.

    Instead, it relies on non-clinical testing and substantiates equivalence to a predicate device. Here's a breakdown based on the categories requested:

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

    • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in terms of measurable performance thresholds.
    • Reported Device Performance: The document states "Detailed software verification and validation were performed per FDA Guidance, "General Principles of Software Validation: Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff." This indicates that the software aspects of the device (likely related to generating the custom guides from imaging data) were tested for correctness and functionality, but specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy of cuts, fit of components) are not quantified in this summary.

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

    • Not applicable for clinical efficacy. The document explicitly states "Clinical Testing: Not Applicable to validate changes." The software verification and validation would have involved various test cases, but details on sample size or data provenance for those tests are not provided.

    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 for clinical efficacy. Since clinical testing was deemed "not applicable," there's no mention of experts establishing a ground truth for a clinical test set.

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

    • Not applicable for clinical efficacy. No information on adjudication methods for a clinical test set.

    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 cutting guide, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for "human readers." No MRMC study was conducted or referenced.

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

    • The device's function is to generate physical cutting guides from imaging data. The "algorithm" here would be the software that processes the MRI/CT data and designs the guide. The "Detailed software verification and validation" would assess the standalone performance of this software in accurately translating image data into guide designs. However, no specific metrics or studies demonstrating this standalone performance (e.g., how precisely the software determines bone geometry or cut planes compared to a 'gold standard') are provided in this summary.

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

    • For the "software verification and validation," the ground truth would likely be established through engineering specifications, validated anatomical models, or potentially comparisons to manual measurements/designs. Specific details are not provided.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • This information is not provided, as the summary focuses on software verification and validation rather than a deep learning machine learning model that would require a distinct training set. The device appears to be based on algorithmic design from patient imaging.

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

    • Not applicable as no specific training set for a machine learning model is described. The ground truth for the software development (if one considers the development data as a "training set" in a broader sense) would be based on established anatomical knowledge, engineering principles, and potentially measurements from cadaveric or synthetic models.

    In summary: The 510(k) for the ShapeMatch® Cutting Guides relies on non-clinical software verification and validation for regulatory submission, asserting substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It explicitly states that clinical testing was "Not Applicable to validate changes." Therefore, many of the requested details regarding clinical study design, acceptance criteria, and ground truth establishment for clinical performance are not present in this document.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the Stryker Patient Specific Cutting Guides, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided document does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria. Instead, the non-clinical testing aimed to demonstrate comparable accuracy to conventional jig-based instrumentation, and the clinical testing aimed to show a strong co-relationship between MRI and long-standing radiograph measurements.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Non-Clinical (Accuracy of Cutting Guides):
    Accuracy relative to pre-operative plan.
    Placement accuracy comparable to conventional jig-based instrumentation.Accuracy quantified in a cadaveric model.
    Placement accuracy achieved with the Stryker Patient Specific Knee Cutting Guides is comparable to conventional jig-based instrumentation.
    Clinical (Accuracy of MRI Protocol):
    Accuracy and repeatability of measurements from a new MRI protocol.
    Strong co-relationship between MRI and long-leg radiograph for mechanical alignment.Accuracy and repeatability of MRI measurements were quantified.
    A strong co-relationship between the long leg x-ray and augmented MRI scanning was demonstrated.

    2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

    • Non-Clinical (Cadaveric Assessment):

      • Sample Size (Test Set): Not explicitly stated, described as "a cadaveric model."
      • Data Provenance: Cadaveric data; implicitly from a controlled laboratory setting (likely within the US, but not specified). It is a prospective study as it involved active experimentation.
    • Clinical Research Study:

      • Sample Size (Test Set): Not explicitly stated.
      • Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin). Described as a "clinical research study," implying prospective data collection on human subjects.

    3. Number and Qualifications of Experts for Ground Truth

    The document does not provide information on the number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth for either the non-clinical or clinical studies.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document does not provide any information regarding an adjudication method for the test set.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is reported that details the effect size of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. The non-clinical study compared the device's accuracy to conventional jig-based instrumentation, which is a different type of comparison.

    6. Standalone Performance Study

    The studies conducted describe the performance of the "Stryker Patient Specific Cutting Guides" which are patient-specific surgical instruments generated from patient imaging data (MRI/CT). The studies assess the accuracy of these guides and the MRI protocol used to generate the data for the guides. This can be considered a standalone performance assessment of the device's ability to facilitate accurate cuts and the accuracy of the imaging protocol that informs the device. However, it's not "algorithm-only" in the sense of a diagnostic AI, as the device itself is a physical cutting guide. The software component mentioned (detailed software verification and validation) relates to the generation of these guides.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    • Non-Clinical (Cadaveric Assessment): The ground truth was based on the "pre-operative plan" for bone cuts, which would have been established by a surgeon or planning software. The success was measured by comparing the actual cuts made using the guides to this plan.
    • Clinical Research Study: The ground truth for knee alignment was established by "long standing radiograph images," which are a standard clinical method for assessing mechanical alignment.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document makes no mention of a training set sample size. The device is generated from individual patient MRI/CT data, so it's a patient-specific design rather than an AI model trained on a large dataset in the conventional sense. The "software verification and validation" would be a separate process from a training set for a machine learning model.

    9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established

    As no training set is described for an AI model, there is no information on how its ground truth would have been established. The core of the device relies on patient-specific imaging data translated into a physical guide, not on a machine learning model trained on a general dataset.

    Total knee components are indicated for rheumatoid arthritis; post-traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity level are compatible with an adequate long-term result; failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement. Posterior stabilized knee systems are designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are absent or incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact. Smith & Nephew, Inc. Journey BCS Knee components are indicated for use only with cement and are single use devices.

    Device Description

    This premarket notification seeks only to add kinematics claims for the existing Journey BCS Knee System cleared via K042515. No new total knee components being introduced as a result of this premarket notification.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Smith & Nephew JOURNEY BCS Knee System does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as it pertains to AI/algorithm performance.

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a traditional medical device (knee implant), not an AI/ML-driven device. The focus of this submission is to add kinematics claims for an existing device, establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on its physical properties and intended use, rather than algorithmic performance.

    Therefore, the specific information about AI/algorithm acceptance criteria, performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth, and expert involvement for AI adjudication is not applicable and cannot be extracted from this document.

    Total knee components are indicated for rheumatoid arthritis; post-traumatic arthritis, or degenerative arthritis in older patients whose age, weight, and activity level are compatible with an adequate long-term result; failed osteotomies, unicompartmental replacement, or total knee replacement. Posterior stabilized knee systems are designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are absent or incompetent and the collateral ligaments remain intact. Constrained knee systems are designed for use in patients in primary and revision surgery, where the posterior cruciate ligament and one or both of the collateral ligaments (i.e. medial collateral and/or lateral collateral ligament) are absent or incompetent. Total knee components are single use devices and may be used in cemented or uncemented applications.

    Device Description

    The Smith & Nephew, Inc. Gender Knee Systems are the existing Smith & Nephew, Inc. Genesis II, Legion, and Journey BCS Knee Systems. This premarket notification seeks only to add gender-related claims for these existing total knee systems previously cleared by FDA marketed by Smith & Nephew. No new total knee components being introduced as a result of this premarket notification.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for the Smith & Nephew, Inc. Gender Knee Systems. It is a regulatory submission to the FDA seeking to add gender-related claims to existing total knee replacement systems.

    Based on the provided text, the device is being cleared based on substantial equivalence to previously marketed predicate devices, not on a new study demonstrating its efficacy or performance against specific acceptance criteria. This type of submission (510(k)) does not typically involve the rigorous clinical trial evidence that would include specific acceptance criteria and a detailed study report as requested in your prompt.

    Therefore, many of the requested elements are not present in this type of regulatory document.

    Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what cannot:

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

    • Cannot be provided. This document does not describe specific performance-based acceptance criteria for the "Gender Knee Systems" or report performance results against such criteria. The submission is for "gender-related claims" for existing devices, relying on substantial equivalence to predicates.

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

    • Cannot be provided. No new clinical testing or "test set" is described for this 510(k) submission. The clearance is based on substantial equivalence.

    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)

    • Cannot be provided. No "test set" requiring ground truth establishment by experts is described in this regulatory submission.

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

    • Cannot be provided. No "test set" and thus no adjudication method is described.

    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

    • Cannot be provided. This document is about a knee implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI is not applicable or mentioned.

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

    • Cannot be provided. This document is about a knee implant, not an algorithm, so this concept is not applicable.

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

    • Cannot be provided. As there's no new study or "test set" described, there's no mention of ground truth types.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    • Cannot be provided. This is not a machine learning/AI device, and no "training set" is relevant or mentioned.

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

    • Cannot be provided. As above, a training set and its ground truth establishment are not applicable to this device or its regulatory pathway.

    Summary of what is known based on the provided text:

    • Device Name: Smith & Nephew, Inc. Gender Knee Systems (based on existing Genesis II, Legion, and Journey BCS Knee Systems)
    • Regulatory Pathway: 510(k) Premarket Notification
    • Purpose of Submission: To add "gender-related claims" to existing, previously cleared total knee systems.
    • Basis for Clearance: Substantial Equivalence to predicate devices, specifically:
      • Zimmer NexGen Knee Gender Solutions Female (GSF) Femoral Components (K060370)
      • Zimmer Gender Solutions Natural-Knee Flex System (K070214)
      • Stryker Triathlon Total Knee System (K053514)
    • Intended Use: Standard total knee replacement indications for rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, degenerative arthritis, and failed previous surgeries, tailored to posterior stabilized or constrained knee systems, in cemented or uncemented applications.

    In essence, this document demonstrates that the FDA reviewed the application and determined that the "Gender Knee Systems" with the added gender-related claims are substantially equivalent to other legally marketed predicate devices, meaning no new performance acceptance criteria or detailed study results are included within this specific 510(k) summary.
