    Intended Use

    Components of the Signature Orthopaedics hip replacement range are intended to replace a hip joint where bone stock is sufficient to support the implant. When a surgeon has selected prosthetic replacement as the preferred treatment, the devices are indicated for:

    • Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis
    • Inflammatory joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis
    • Correction of functional deformity including congenital hip dysplasia & fracture non-union or mal-union
    • Traumatic injury involving the hip joint including traumatic arthritis or femoral head or neck fracture
    • Failed previous hip surgery including internal fixation or joint fusion, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement, or total hip replacement
    • Dislocation risks (when used with SignaSure Dual Mobility System)

    Signature Orthopaedics' Longboard Revision Stem is intended for individuals undergoing revision surgery of the hip only.

    Signature Orthopaedics' Origin, Origin TT, Aria, Remedy, Origin-NS, Pegasus, Spartan, World, Everglade and Longboard Hip femoral stems, SignaSure Cementless Cups, Logical and World Acetabular Cups are intended for cementless fixation only.

    Device Description

    The Longboard Revision Stem is a femoral stem and a partially threaded distal locking screw intended for single use and cementless fixation for revision hip arthroplasties. The components are manufactured from titanium alloy as per ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136 and the stem has a titanium alloy grit blast along the body. The Longboard Revision Stem is a symmetrical with a neck angle of 135°. The stem body is tapered and finned, while the distal tip is finless to allow for initial version adjustments. The stem neck features a 12/14 taper which allows for compatibility with Signature Orthopaedics' range of previously cleared femoral head components.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the Longboard Revision Hip Stem describes a medical device (an orthopedic implant), not a software or AI/ML-based device. Therefore, the questions regarding acceptance criteria and study design for performance evaluation of algorithms and AI/ML systems (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, MRMC studies, ground truth establishment by experts) are not applicable to this document.

    The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through non-clinical performance testing for mechanical properties and material characteristics, as is standard for orthopedic implants.

    Here's an analysis of the provided information relevant to the device's acceptance criteria and the study that proves it meets them, framed within the context of a physical medical device:

    Acceptance Criteria and Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

    For physical medical devices like the Longboard Revision Hip Stem, acceptance criteria primarily revolve around:

    1. Safety and Effectiveness: Ensuring the device is safe for its intended use and performs as expected.
    2. Biocompatibility: Materials used must be compatible with the human body.
    3. Mechanical Performance: The device must withstand anticipated physiological loads and stresses without failure for its expected lifespan.
    4. Conformity to Standards: Compliance with established industry and regulatory standards.
    5. Substantial Equivalence: Demonstrating that the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device.

    The study described to prove the device meets these criteria is the non-clinical performance testing and engineering evaluations.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and the Reported Device Performance

    The document doesn't provide a precise "table" of numerical acceptance criteria in the format typically seen for AI/ML performance (e.g., "Sensitivity >= X%"). Instead, acceptance is inferred from the successful completion of specified engineering tests and adherence to industry standards, followed by a conclusion of substantial equivalence.

    Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from Regulatory Requirements for Orthopedic Implants)Reported Device Performance Summary (from document)
    Mechanical Strength & Endurance: Withstand anticipated physiological loads and stresses without fracture or fatigue failure.Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations (FEA and physical testing) conducted on worst-case sizes. Results show that "the strength of the Signature Orthopaedics Longboard Revision Hip Stem is sufficient for their intended use and substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device." Specifically, "Stem and Neck Fatigue FEA" and "Stem and Neck Fatigue Testing" were performed.
    Range of Motion: Allow for functional hip joint movement."Range of Motion" testing was performed to verify adequate performance.
    Material Biocompatibility: Materials are safe for implantation.Manufactured from titanium alloy as per ISO 5832-3 and ASTM F136. These are standard, biocompatible implant-grade materials.
    Conformity to Standards: Adherence to relevant international and national testing standards.Testing conducted in accordance with:
    • ISO 21535 (Hip Joint Replacement Implants)
    • ASTM F2996 (FEA for Hip Femoral Stems)
    • ISO 7206-4 (Endurance of Stemmed Femoral Components)
    • ISO 7206-6 (Endurance of Neck Region)
    • ASTM F543 (Metallic Medical Bone Screws) |
      | Substantial Equivalence: The device is as safe and effective as existing legally marketed predicate devices. | "The Longboard Revision Hip Stem have the same intended use and same indications for use as the predicate devices. The subject devices use the same operating principle, incorporate the same basic design, and are manufactured using the same materials as the predicate devices. Any differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as established with performance testing. The subject devices are at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices." |

    Information Not Applicable/Provided for a Physical Device:

    The following points are primarily relevant to software, AI/ML, or diagnostic devices, and therefore are not applicable to this 510(k) for a physical orthopedic implant:

    1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. Testing is primarily mechanical/physical on device samples, not on patient data.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for a physical implant is its physical behavior under load, measured by engineering methods, not expert consensus on images.
    3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
    4. 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 for diagnostic interpretation, not an implant.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. There is no algorithm here.
    6. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): Not applicable in the context of image interpretation. Ground truth for this device is mechanical integrity, material properties, and functionality under specified conditions, verified by laboratory testing.
    7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable as there is no training set for a mechanical device.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In summary: The clearance of the Longboard Revision Hip Stem relies on non-clinical, laboratory-based mechanical and materials testing of physical device samples against established industry standards and comparison to predicate devices, to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness for its intended use, rather than on clinical data or AI/ML performance metrics.

    Device Description

    The SignaSure Dual Mobility System is available in two configurations, a Monobloc configuration and a Modular configuration. The Monobloc configuration is a Dual Mobility acetabular system consisting of a metallic shell, cemented, and a mobile polyethylene insert to articulate within the shell as a femoral head. The Modular configuration (subject device) is a dual mobility acetabular system consisting of 2 components; a mobile polyethylene component and a metallic insert which can be used with interfacing cemented or cementless cups.

    The SignaSure Poly, used in both configurations, is manufactured from highly crosslinked polyethylene (as per ASTM F648) and is spherical in geometry with outer and inner spherical conforming articular surfaces. The inner articular surface mates and retains a femoral head. The outer articular surface articulates within the highly polished inner diameter of the SignaSure Cementless or Cemented Cup to be used, or the metallic insert. The SignaSure Poly components are available in size 37 to 41 mm (outer diameter) allowing use with 22 mm and 39 to 59 mm femoral heads.

    The SignaSure Logical Insert is manufactured from Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) alloy (as per ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12) and mates with Signature Orthopaedics' Logical Shell to be implanted without bone cement and the SignaSure World Insert is manufactured from CoCr alloy (as per ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12) and mates with Signature Orthopaedic's World Cup to be implant without bone cement. The SignaSure Logical Insert is available in 34 to 48 mm sizes whereas the SignaSure World Insert is available in 38 to 46 mm (internal diameter) sizes.

    The SignaSure Cementless Cup is manufactured from CoCr alloy (as per ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12) and is sequentially plasma sprayed with titanium coating (as per ASTM F1580) and hydroxyapatite (as per ISO 13779-1 and ISO 13779-2) to gain cementless fixation. The SignaSure Cemented Cup is manufactured from CoCr alloy (as per ASTM F1537 and ISO 5832-12) and is grit blasted and macro textured to aid in fixation via bone cement. These cups, as from K211742, underwent no changes and were included in this submission as they interact with the subject SignaSure Poly devices.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the SignaSure Dual Mobility System, which is a hip replacement prosthesis. The document does not describe specific acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/ML algorithm or a diagnostic device.

    Instead, this document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed predicate devices, which is the cornerstone of the 510(k) pathway for medical devices. The performance testing mentioned is for the physical device itself (a hip implant), not for an AI algorithm.

    Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information about acceptance criteria for an AI/ML device, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or human reader effectiveness improvement, as these concepts are not applicable to the content of the provided document.

    The document does mention:

    1. Performance Testing: Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the SignaSure Dual Mobility System is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use. The specific tests performed were:
      • Head assembly/disassembly/lever out testing
      • Range of motion analysis
      • Coating adhesion
      • Articular surface wear
      • Impingement testing
      • Post impingement lever out testing
        These tests are typical for mechanical hip implants to assess their durability, functionality, and structural integrity. The document states that these results support the substantial equivalence claim, meaning the device's performance is comparable to marketed predicate devices.

    However, none of the other requested information (related to AI acceptance criteria, clinical study design for AI, training/test sets, expert adjudication, MRMC studies) is present in this FDA 510(k) document.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification letter and summary for a medical device called the "Encore Hip Stem." It concerns the regulatory approval process for a new hip implant. The document does not contain information about software or AI-based devices; therefore, it does not include acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone performance, or training set information as requested in the prompt.

    The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the Encore Hip Stem to previously cleared predicate devices based on non-clinical performance testing and engineering evaluations. These tests are related to the mechanical properties and design of the physical implant, not the performance of an AI algorithm.

    Specifically, the "Performance Testing" section states:
    "Non-clinical testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the Encore Hip Stem is adequate for anticipated in-vivo use. No animal or clinical testing was required to support substantial equivalence. Non-clinical testing carried out included:

    • Range of Motion Testing
    • Stem and Neck Fatigue FEA
    • Stem and Neck Fatigue Testing
    • Rim Impingement Analysis"

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the "MobileLink Acetabular Cup System". This notification is a submission to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, and therefore does not require a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the same way a novel device might.

    Instead, the submission relies on non-clinical performance testing and analysis to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. There is no mention of specific quantitative acceptance criteria or a dedicated study designed to prove the device meets such criteria with statistical significance.

    Here's an breakdown of the information based on your request, structured to reflect what is actually present in the document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    As this is a 510(k) submission for substantial equivalence based on non-clinical testing, there isn't a table of specific, quantitative "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance. The "performance" is demonstrated through various bench tests and characterizations, aiming to show similarity to predicate devices.

    Test TypeObjective / "Acceptance Criteria" (Implied)Reported Performance / Conclusion
