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).
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.

This document is a 510(k) summary for the ATTUNE® Porous Fixed Bearing Tibial Base, Medialized Dome Patella, and Medialized Anatomic Patella with AFFIXIUM™ 3DP Technology. It outlines the device description, intended use, and comparative analysis with predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence, rather than providing a study proving specific performance criteria for the device itself.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance in the context of an AI/human reader study (items 1-9) is not applicable to this document. This document pertains to the regulatory clearance of a medical implant, not an AI or diagnostic software.
However, based on the non-clinical tests performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence (as described on page 7), we can infer the types of performance aspects considered for regulatory approval of such a device:
The "Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions" section on page 7 lists the following tests performed:
- Peg Fatigue Testing for ATTUNE Cementless Patella
- Stryker Peg Fatigue Benchmark Testing for ATTUNE Cementless Patella
- Biocompatibility Evaluation Report (Patella)
- MRI Testing (Tibial Base & Patella)
These tests are designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the implant in terms of its mechanical properties, material compatibility with the human body, and compatibility with MRI imaging. The acceptance criteria for these tests would typically be defined by relevant ASTM or ISO standards for orthopedic implants, and the device would be considered to 'meet' these criteria if its performance falls within the established limits of these standards or is demonstrated to be equivalent to the predicate device.
No information regarding AI performance, human reader studies, or associated metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or effect sizes for AI assistance is present in this product clearance document.

The subject THK System is a line extension to the existing Triathlon® Knee System and will be a modified version of the predicate Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee System and Triathlon® Total Knee System. The THK System is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a new hinge femoral component and a new tibial bearing component connected by a set of previously cleared MRH bushings and an MRH axle (K994207, K002552). A new bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushings combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between the bearing surfaces on the underside of the new tibial bearing component and a new hinge tibial insert provides motion in the rotating plane. The hinge tibial insert is assembled to a new revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a new tibial sleeve or previously cleared MRH tibial sleeve (K994207, K002552). Optional new distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defects.
The THK System is designed to provide varus/valgus stability throughout the range of motion, internal/external rotation about the tibial axis, constraint by the bearing surface radius on the tibial bearing component, and an extensive range of size, modularity, and resection options. The subject THK System consists of:
- Hinge Femoral Components in six sizes and in left and right configurations o
- Revision Tibial Baseplates in seven sizes O
- Hinge Inserts in seven sizes and five thicknesses each hinge insert is packaged with a O standard sleeve subcomponent
- Tibial Bearing Components in three sizes O
- Bumper inserts in neutral and three degree flexion options O

- o Femoral Distal Augments in six sizes and two thicknesses.
The components of the subject THK System are sterile, single-use devices intended for cemented use only. They can be used with previously cleared Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee components (K994207, K002552), the Global Modular Replacement System (GMRS) (K023087), and Triathlon® Knee System components (K172634, K172326, K190991, K143396, K141056. K132624. K070095. K061521. K053514. K052917. K051948. K051146. K040267).
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA regarding the "Triathlon® Hinge Knee System". It describes a medical device, specifically a knee replacement system, and outlines the non-clinical testing performed to establish its substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.
Crucially, this document states: "Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence."
This means that a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria involving human performance or clinical outcomes was not conducted or submitted for this 510(k) clearance due to the nature of the device (a modification/line extension of existing, cleared devices) and the regulatory pathway followed.
Therefore, I cannot provide the information requested in your prompt regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (in a clinical context)
- Sample sizes for a test set (clinical)
- Number of experts for ground truth establishment (clinical)
- Adjudication method (clinical)
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance
- Type of ground truth used (clinical)
- Sample size for a training set (clinical)
- How ground truth for a training set was established (clinical)
All the testing described in the document under "Non-Clinical Testing" (pages 6-7) relates to engineering analysis, materials characterization, mechanical fatigue testing, wear analysis, biocompatibility, and shelf-life validation. These are physical and mechanical performance tests comparing the new device to the established performance characteristics of predicate devices, not studies involving human subjects or AI performance.
The document's conclusion reinforces this: "Based upon a comparison of the intended use, indications for use, design, materials and sterilization method, performance characteristics, and operational principles, the components of the subject THK System are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices identified in this premarket notification." The substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical data.
