    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

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the MOBIO Total Knee System. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria or reporting results from a study proving the device meets those criteria in the way one might expect for an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool.

    The "acceptance criteria" in this context refer to the requirements for demonstrating substantial equivalence for a new or modified medical device. The "study" proving the device meets these criteria is the collection of non-clinical tests and comparisons presented in the 510(k) submission.

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The provided document doesn't present a table with explicit "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in the quantitative sense typical for a diagnostic or AI device. Instead, the acceptance criteria are implicitly met by demonstrating that the new device's performance, materials, and design are substantially equivalent to those of legally marketed predicate devices.

    The "reported device performance" is essentially that the MOBIO Total Knee System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices based on the non-clinical tests performed.

    CategoryAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (Summary from Document)
    MaterialsMaterials of construction are substantially equivalent to predicate devices.Subject device uses forged titanium alloy for baseplates and stems, the same material class as commonly used in predicate knee systems.

    Sizes OfferedSizes offered are comparable to predicate devices.Tibial Baseplates offered in 9 sizes (medial-lateral: 58-85mm, anterior-posterior: 38-59mm). Tibial Stems offered in 3 diameters (12, 14, 16mm) with lengths from 20-120mm. These ranges are typical for total knee systems.
    Product DesignProduct design (shape, macrostructures) is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.Design features are comparable to predicate devices, with minor differences not raising new safety/effectiveness questions. This submission focused on adding a Stemmed Baseplate with modular Stem Extension options to an existing cleared system.
    SterilizationSterilization methods are substantially equivalent to predicate devices.All system components are supplied sterile and are single-use devices, consistent with standard practice for surgically implanted devices.
    Mechanical PerformanceThe device performs mechanically comparably to predicate devices for its intended use, as demonstrated by non-clinical tests.Non-clinical studies included: Tibial Baseplate Fatigue, Torque Testing, Locking Mechanism Strength, Constraint, Contact Area and Contact Stress, Tibiofemoral Range of Motion. The results are implied to be acceptable as they support substantial equivalence.
    BiocompatibilityThe device materials are biocompatible, similar to predicate devices.Biocompatibility testing was performed. The results are implied to be acceptable as they support substantial equivalence.
    Shelf LifeThe device maintains its safety and effectiveness over its stated shelf life.Shelf Life Studies were performed. The results are implied to be acceptable as they support substantial equivalence.
    Bacterial EndotoxinThe device is free from bacterial endotoxin within acceptable limits.Bacterial Endotoxin Testing was performed. The results are implied to be acceptable as they support substantial equivalence.
    Safety & EffectivenessThe device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices. Differences in design/technology do not raise new safety/effectiveness questions."The information provided above supports that the MOBIO Total Knee System Stemmed Baseplate and Stem Extension components are as safe and effective as the predicate devices with the same intended use. Some minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and predicate devices, however applicable reference devices have been cited to support the conclusion that these differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness."

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

    For a medical implant like a total knee system, studies are typically non-clinical (bench testing, mechanical testing) rather than involving patient test data sets in the way an AI algorithm would.

    • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of "test set" size. The "samples" would be the individual components or assemblies tested for fatigue, torque, etc. The document does not specify the number of units tested for each non-clinical study.
    • Data Provenance: The studies are non-clinical (bench testing), so there's no patient data involved in this 510(k) summary. These tests would have been conducted in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer or a contract research organization.

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

    This question is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission.

    • Ground Truth for Non-Clinical Tests: For mechanical and material tests, the "ground truth" is established by adherence to recognized standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM) and engineering principles, not by expert consensus on clinical images or diagnoses. The "experts" would be the engineers and scientists performing and interpreting these tests.
    • The document implies that the internal experts of b-ONE ORTHO, Corp. and potentially external labs were involved in conducting and evaluating these non-clinical tests, following established regulatory and scientific guidelines.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are used for resolving disagreements among human readers/experts in diagnostic studies, not for non-clinical mechanical testing of medical devices.


    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. This 510(k) is for a total knee replacement system, which is a physical implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or an imaging modality. There are no "human readers" or "AI assistance" involved in its direct function.


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

    This question is not applicable. The MOBIO Total Knee System is a physical medical device (an implant), not an algorithm.


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

    As this is a non-clinical 510(k) submission for a physical implant, the "ground truth" for the performance studies refers to:

    • Adherence to validated test methods and standards: For example, fatigue testing would be evaluated against established standards for implant longevity.
    • Material specifications: Conformance to established material properties for the titanium alloy.
    • Design specifications: Proof that the device meets its design intent, often through dimensional verification and mechanical simulation/testing.
    • Biocompatibility standards: Compliance with ISO 10993 series for biological evaluation of medical devices.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This question is not applicable. As this device is a physical implant and not an AI algorithm, there is no "training set" in the machine learning sense. The "training" for such a device comes from engineering design, material science, and prior knowledge from predicate devices.


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

    This question is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of medical device submission.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device, the ATTUNE® Revision Knee System. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving the device meets clinical acceptance criteria through a formal clinical study with ground truth and expert consensus. The FDA document explicitly states, “Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence between the ATTUNE Revision Knee System and the predicate devices.”

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types cannot be found in this document.

    The document primarily focuses on non-clinical testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Below is a summary of the non-clinical performance information provided.

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

    The document describes functional testing performed in compliance with FDA Guidance for Knee Joint Prostheses. While explicit numerical acceptance criteria values are not provided, the general statement below indicates that the measured performance met the necessary thresholds.

    Test CategoryReported Device Performance
    Functional/Mechanical Testing (e.g., Fatigue, Constraint, Contact Pressure, Interlock Strength)The results demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices for anticipated in-vivo loading via various constraint, contact, wear, and fatigue tests.
    Biocompatibility TestingNot explicitly detailed with performance metrics, but the materials (e.g., Co-Cr-Mo alloy, Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, UHMWPE) conform to relevant ASTM standards (e.g., ASTM F75, ASTM F136, ASTM F648, ASTM F620, ASTM F1537, ASTM F799), which are accepted standards for biocompatibility in implantable devices. There is no mention of novel materials requiring new biocompatibility testing data.
    Sterilization & Endotoxin TestingThe proposed devices also meet the requirement of bacterial endotoxin testing as specified in ANSI AAMI ST-72:2011.

    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. This document refers to non-clinical, in-vitro mechanical and material testing, not human-subject testing involving datasets.

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

    Not applicable. No ground truth based on expert review was established in this submission.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) 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 applicable. No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was performed or required for this device.

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

    Not applicable. This is a knee implant, not an AI/algorithm device.

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

    Not applicable. The "ground truth" in this context is adherence to established engineering standards (ASTM F75, F136, F648, F620, F1537, F799, ANSI AAMI ST-72:2011) and FDA Guidance for mechanical performance testing for knee prostheses.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable. No training set for an algorithm was used.

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

    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.
