The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components by creating a 3D bone construct of the joint and allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit presurgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a pre-surgical plan data file which can be used as input data to design the Precision AI Shoulder Guide and Biomodels.

    Hardware: The Precision AI Planning System Guides and Biomodels are intended to be used as patient-specific surgical instruments to assist in the intraoperative positioning of shoulder implant components used with total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty by referencing anatomic landmarks of the shoulder that are identifiable on preoperative CT-imaging scans. The Glenoid Guide is used to place the k-wire and the Humeral Guide is used to place humeral pins for humeral head resection. The Precision AI Guides and Biomodels are indicated for single use only. The Precision AI Surgical Planning System is indicated for use on adult patients that have been consented for shoulder joint arthroplasty. Both humeral and glenoid guides are suitable for a delto-pectoral approach only. The Precision AI Surgical Planning System is indicated for total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty using the following implant systems and their compatible components: Enovis and Lima.

    Device Description

    The Precision AI Surgical Planning System is a patient-specific medical device that is designed to be used to assist the surgeon in the placement of shoulder components during total anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement surgery. This can be done by generating a pre-surgical shoulder plan and, if requested by the surgeon, by manufacturing a patient-specific guides and models to transfer the plan to surgery. The subject device is a system composed of the following: The Precision AI Surgical Planning System Software will create a 3D construct/render of the patient's shoulder joint for the surgeon to plan the operatively then create a physical Patient Specific Instrument (or Guide), using 3D printing by selective laser sintering. The patient's CT scan images are the design input for this to be created and are auto segmented via a locked, or static, artificial intelligence algorithm. The surgeon can visualise the deformity of the diseased joint, on this 3D render and CT scan images, and determine the inherent deformity of the joint. They are then able to virtually place the artificial implants in an optimal position to correct the measured deformity for that specific patient. The Precision AI Guides, which are a patient-specific guide and models that are based on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Patient-specific guide and models will be manufactured if the surgeon requests patient-specific guides to transfer the plan to surgery.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is an FDA 510(k) summary for the Precision AI Surgical Planning System (PAI-SPS). It describes the device and its intended use, but it does NOT contain specific acceptance criteria, detailed study designs, or performance results in terms of metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or effect sizes for human reader improvement.

    The document states that "Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.' This includes verification against defined requirements and validation against user needs." It also mentions that "Design verification and validation testing demonstrated that the PAI-SPS meets all design requirements and is as safe and effective as its predicate device (K233992)."

    However, it does not explicitly lay out the acceptance criteria (e.g., "model must achieve 90% accuracy") or the results against those criteria. It focuses more on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (PAI-SPS K233992) by showing that the technology and intended use are similar, with the main differences being the addition of compatibility with more implant systems.

    Therefore, I cannot fully complete the requested table and answer all questions based solely on the provided text. I will provide information based on what is available and indicate where information is missing.


    Description of Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Criteria

    Based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary, the PAI-SPS device is being cleared primarily through demonstrating substantial equivalence to an already cleared predicate device (PAI-SPS, K233992). The key claim for equivalence rests on similar intended use, fundamental scientific technology, design, functionality, operating principles, and materials, with the primary difference being expanded compatibility with additional implant systems.

    The document implicitly suggests that the "acceptance criteria" are tied to demonstrating that these technological differences "do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness." The studies cited are primarily focused on software verification and validation, ensuring the new compatible implant systems do not negatively impact the established safety and effectiveness.

    Here is a breakdown of the available information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Note: The provided document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy percentages, specific error bounds) or detailed performance metrics. The performance is largely framed as demonstrating that the device "meets all design requirements and is as safe and effective as its predicate device."

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Software:
    Functions as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder joint arthroplasty (visualization, measurement, reconstruction, annotation, editing of plan data)."The planning functionality, including visualization, measurement, reconstruction, annotation, and editing of pre-surgical plan data, is the same in the subject and predicate device."
    "Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.'"
    "Design verification and validation testing demonstrated that the PAI-SPS meets all design requirements and is as safe and effective as its predicate device (K233992)."
    Automated segmentation via artificial intelligence algorithm is locked/static and accurate for 3D bone construct creation."The patient's CT scan images are the design input for this to be created and are auto segmented via a locked, or static, artificial intelligence algorithm."
    (No specific numerical accuracy or precision metrics are reported for segmentation).
    Expanded compatibility with new Enovis and Lima implant systems does not introduce new safety/effectiveness concerns."The non-clinical performance data has demonstrated that the subject software technological differences between the subject and predicate device do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness."
    Hardware (Guides & Biomodels):
    Assists in intraoperative positioning of shoulder implant components by referencing anatomic landmarks."Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended."
    "The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the subject device are the same as that of the predicate device of Precision AI Surgical Planning System (K233992) and therefore previous cadaver testing and composite bone model testing on the previously cleared device are considered applicable to the subject device."
    Expanded compatibility with new Enovis and Lima implant systems does not introduce new safety/effectiveness concerns."The main difference between the subject device hardware and the predicate device is the extension of compatibility of the Precision AI Guides and Models with additional Enovis' and Lima's implant systems and their compatible components... [demonstrated not to raise new safety/effectiveness questions based on previous testing for predicate]."
    Biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, and packaging are adequate."Previous testing for biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device." (Implies these aspects were re-verified or deemed unchanged/covered by predicate testing).

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

    • The document does not specify the sample size for any test set (e.g., for software validation or hardware accuracy).
    • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for specific test sets. Given the company is "Precision AI Pty Ltd" in Australia, and the document discusses "previous cadaver testing and composite bone model testing," it's likely a mix of lab-based/simulated data and potentially some retrospective clinical imaging data for initial AI development/testing, but this is not detailed. The document implies that new testing was not extensively conducted for this submission, relying heavily on the predicate device's prior validation and the minor changes to compatibility.

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

    • The document does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish ground truth for any test set.
    • It mentions that the software allows a "qualified surgeon" to approve pre-surgical plan data, implying that expert surgical review is part of the workflow.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    • The document does not specify any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing ground truth or evaluating test results.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

    • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned or described. The focus of this 510(k) is substantial equivalence based on technological similarity and expanded compatibility, not a comparative study against human readers or performance improvement with AI assistance.

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

    • The document states that the AI algorithm performs "auto segmentation via a locked, or static, artificial intelligence algorithm." While this indicates a standalone AI component, the document does not provide standalone performance metrics for this AI segmentation. The overall system is described as a "pre-surgical planner" where the surgeon can "visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data," suggesting a human-in-the-loop workflow.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    • For software, the implicit ground truth appears to be expert consensus or approved surgical plans for judging the accuracy of the software's representations and planning capabilities. The document states "The software allows a qualified surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate, edit and approve pre-surgical plan data."
    • For hardware, "previous cadaver testing and composite bone model testing" were used, implying physical measurements against a known standard or "true" position established in these models.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    • The document does not specify the sample size used for the training set for the AI segmentation algorithm.

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

    • The document does not specify how the ground truth for the AI training set was established. It only mentions that the AI algorithm for auto-segmentation is "locked, or static," implying it was trained previously.

    Device Description

    Materialise Shoulder System™ is a patient-specific medical device that is designed to be used to assist the surgeon in the placement of shoulder components during total anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement surgery. This can be done by generating a pre-surgical shoulder plan and, if requested by the surgeon, by manufacturing a patient-specific glenoid guide and models to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The device is a system composed of the following:

    • a software component, branded as SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. This software is a planning tool used . to generate a pre-surgical plan for a specific patient.
    • Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, which are a patient-specific quide and models that are based ● on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Patientspecific glenoid guide and models will be manufactured if the surgeon requests patient-specific guides to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The Materialise Shoulder Guide is designed and manufactured to fit the anatomy of a specific patient. A bone model of the scapula is delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. A graft model can be delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. The graft model visualizes the graft-space between implant and bone, based on the pre-operative planning of the surgeon. The graft model serves as a visual reference for the surgeon in the OR.
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided FDA 510(k) summary (K242813) for the Materialise Shoulder System™ describes a submission seeking substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device (K241143). This submission is primarily for adding compatibility with new implant components rather than introducing a completely new AI capability or significant software change that would necessitate extensive new performance data. Therefore, the document does not contain the detailed information typically found in a study proving a device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML product.

    Specifically, the document states:

    • "The non-clinical performance data has demonstrated that the subject software technological differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness." (Page 9)
    • "Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.' This includes verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs." (Page 10)
    • "Previous testing for biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the subject device are the same as that of the predicate device of Materialise Shoulder System™ K241143 and previously cleared devices... therefore previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559 are considered applicable to the subject device." (Page 10)

    Given this, I cannot provide detailed answers to many of your questions as the submission relies on the substantial equivalence principle and prior testing rather than new, extensive performance studies for AI/ML.

    However, I can extract what is available:

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

    The document does not provide a specific table of quantitative acceptance criteria and reported device performance for the current submission (K242813), as it relies on the previous clearance and the assessment that the changes (adding implant compatibility) do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.

    The general acceptance criterion mentioned is that the "accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended." This was verified through previous testing, including "simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing."

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

    The document mentions "previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559." It does not specify the sample size for these tests, nor the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

    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 information is not provided in the document.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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 such MRMC study is mentioned. The device is a "pre-surgical planner" and "surgical instrument" designed to assist the surgeon, but the provided text does not detail comparative effectiveness studies of human readers (surgeons) with and without the AI (planning software) assistance.

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

    The software (SurgiCase Shoulder Planner) generates a pre-surgical plan which the "qualified surgeon" can "visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate, edit and approve" (Page 9). This indicates a human-in-the-loop process. Standalone performance of the algorithm without human interaction is not discussed as it's not the intended use.

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

    The document generally refers to "verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs" and "accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended" based on "simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing." This suggests a ground truth established through expert-defined surgical planning parameters and comparison to physical outcomes in the simulated/cadaveric environment, but specifics on how this ground truth was formalized (e.g., expert consensus on optimal planning, precise measurement validation) are not detailed.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This device is a surgical planning tool and guides, not a deep learning AI model that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense for image classification or similar tasks. It is based on algorithms that process CT-imaging scans and anatomical landmarks to generate personalized plans and guides. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" for AI/ML is not applicable here in the way it would be for a pattern recognition AI. The software's robustness and accuracy are likely validated through extensive testing against various patient anatomies and surgical scenarios.

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

    As explained above, the concept of a training set as typically understood for AI/ML models is not directly applicable to this device based on the provided information.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the Materialise Shoulder System™, Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, and SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. It indicates that this is a special 510(k) submission, meaning it's for a modification to a previously cleared device. Therefore, much of the performance data refers back to the predicate device and prior clearances.

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting study information based on the provided text:

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

    The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a direct table showing "acceptance criteria vs. reported device performance" for this specific 510(k) submission. Instead, for this special 510(k), the performance data mainly focuses on demonstrating that the changes (addition of new implant components to the software and hardware compatibility) do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.

    The "performance data (non-clinical)" section highlights that:

    • Hardware: Previous testing for biocompatibility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, and packaging is applicable. Accuracy and performance of the system were "adequate to perform as intended." Previous simulated surgeries and cadaver testing on earlier cleared devices are considered applicable.
    • Software: Software verification and validation were performed "against defined requirements" and "against user needs," following FDA guidance.

    Since this is a special 510(k) for an incremental change (adding compatibility with specific new implants), it's implied that the acceptance criteria are met if these additions do not negatively impact the established safety and effectiveness of the existing device, and the software development process meets regulatory standards.

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

    • Hardware (previous testing cited): The document mentions "previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models" and "previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559." It does not specify the sample size for these previous studies (e.g., number of bone models or cadavers) or their provenance (country of origin), nor does it state if they were retrospective or prospective.
    • Software (verification and validation): The document states "Software verification and validation were performed," but does not specify a separate "test set" in the context of clinical data or specific performance metrics with sample sizes for this particular submission. The V&V activities would involve testing against requirements and user needs, which could include various test cases and scenarios, but these are not quantified here as a "test set" size.

    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 information is not provided in the document. The studies cited for hardware ("simulated surgeries" and "cadaver testing") and software ("verification and validation") do not detail the involvement of experts in establishing ground truth, their number, or specific qualifications. The software's function is to assist surgeons in planning, implying surgeon input in its use, but not explicitly in establishing a ground truth for a test set described in this submission.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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

    The document does not mention any MRMC comparative effectiveness studies. The device (SurgiCase Shoulder Planner software component and Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models hardware component) is designed to assist surgeons in planning and component positioning, but the provided text does not contain data on whether human readers/surgeons improve with or without this specific AI assistance or effect sizes.

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

    The document states that the SurgiCase Shoulder Planner is "intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components." It also mentions, "SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data." This indicates that the software is a human-in-the-loop device, where the surgeon is actively involved in the planning process and responsible for approving the plan. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance assessment, without human input, is unlikely to be the primary method of evaluation described or required for this type of device. The document does not provide such standalone performance data.

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

    The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used for any specific test set related to this submission. For the hardware (guides and models), the "accuracy and performance" implies a comparison to a known standard or ideal, perhaps derived from anatomical models or surgical goals. For the software, "verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs" suggests that the ground truth for V&V would be the successful adherence to these requirements and user expectations, which could involve internal expert review or adherence to pre-defined medical/engineering specifications. However, specific types of ground truth like pathology or long-term outcomes data are not mentioned.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not provided in the document. As the submission is for a special 510(k) updating compatibility, it's possible that the core algorithms were developed and trained previously, and details of their original training are not part of this specific submission. The focus here is on the impact of the changes to the device.

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

    This information is not provided in the document. Similar to the training set size, the specifics of how the ground truth was established for the original training of any underlying algorithms are not included in this special 510(k).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the regulatory clearance for the Materialise Shoulder System™ and mentions performance data, but it does not contain a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the format requested.

    The document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a comprehensive standalone study with detailed effectiveness metrics.

    Here's an analysis of the information that can be extracted, and what is missing based on your request:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    • Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in a quantitative manner for the performance of the AI component (SurgiCase Shoulder Planner) or the hardware (Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models) beyond ensuring it performs "as intended" and maintains accuracy.
    • Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended." However, no specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, or error margins) are provided for either the software for planning or the hardware for guiding.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: Not specified for the software component (SurgiCase Shoulder Planner).
    • Data Provenance: Not specified for any software testing.
    • For Hardware: It refers to "simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing." No specific number of models or cadavers is provided, nor is the country of origin or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

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

    • Number of Experts: Not specified.
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.

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

    • Not specified.

    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 MRMC study is mentioned. The document focuses on the planning and guidance aspect for surgeons, but not on a comparative study of human readers (surgeons) with and without AI assistance for diagnosis or planning accuracy.

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

    • A standalone performance evaluation of the software's planning functionality is implied through the statement "Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.'" However, no specific metrics or study details are provided. The software is described as a "planning tool used to generate a pre-surgical plan" and for "assisting the surgeon in positioning shoulder components," suggesting a human-in-the-loop workflow.

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

    • Ground Truth Type: Not explicitly stated for the software. For the hardware, the use of "rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing" implies a physical ground truth for accuracy validation.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    • The document does not mention a training set sample size, which is typical for AI/ML models. This suggests the software functionality described (planning, visualization, measurement) might not be based on deep learning/machine learning that requires explicit training data in the same way as, for example, an image classification algorithm. It seems to be a rules-based or physics-based planning software.

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

    • As no training set is mentioned, the method for establishing its ground truth is also not provided.

    In summary:

    The provided text from the FDA 510(k) summary states that non-clinical performance testing indicates the device is as safe and effective as its predicate. It mentions software verification and validation and previous hardware testing (biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, packaging, simulated surgeries, cadaver testing). However, it lacks the specific quantitative acceptance criteria and detailed study results (such as sample sizes, expert qualifications, clear performance metrics, ground truth establishment for software, and formal comparative effectiveness study results) that are typically expected when describing a study proving specific acceptance criteria in detail. This information is usually found in separate, more detailed technical documentation submitted to the FDA, not in the public 510(k) summary.

    Intended Use

    The SMR Stemless Anatomic is indicated for total primary or revision shoulder joint replacement in patients suffering from disability due to:

    · non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis;

    • revision of previous surgeries of the shoulder that do not compromise the fixation (such as a failed SMR resurfacing implant);

    · glenoid arthrosis without excessive glenoid bone loss: A1, A2 and B1 according to Walch classification (SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid only).

    The SMR Stemless Anatomic is intended for uncemented use.

    Device Description

    The SMR Stemless Anatomic is a modular system comprised of a stemless core and humeral head adaptor taper. The modular components are available in various sizes and are interchangeable allowing for independent sizing and positioning. The SMR humeral heads were previously cleared (K161476, K100858), and the SMR Stemless Anatomic is compatible with the previously cleared Cemented SMR metal back Glenoid Components (K113254, K133349, K143256), Cemented SMR all polyethylene glenoid components (K100858, K130642, K153722), and SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid System (K163397).

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for a medical device called the "SMR Stemless Anatomic." It's not a study report of an AI/ML powered medical device, and therefore does not contain the information requested in the prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study methodologies for AI performance, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment relevant to an AI/ML product.

    The document discusses performance testing for a mechanical orthopedic implant, specifically a shoulder joint prosthesis, covering aspects like fatigue, micromotion, and pull-out strength. It also mentions "Clinical Data" related to the device's success in patients, comparing it to a predicate device. This is a traditional medical device clearance, not an AI/ML software as a medical device (SaMD) or AI-powered medical device.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (table of acceptance criteria with AI performance, sample sizes for AI test sets, expert details for AI ground truth, MRMC studies, etc.) from this document. The concepts and methodologies described in the prompt are specific to the evaluation and clearance of AI/ML-driven medical devices, which this document does not concern.

A graft model can be delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. The graft model visualizes the graft-space between implant and bone, based on the pre-operative planning of the surgeon. The graft model serves as a visual reference for the surgeon in the OR.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but the provided text primarily consists of an FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Materialise Shoulder System. While it describes the device, its indications for use, and technological characteristics compared to a predicate device, crucial details regarding the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets those criteria (such as specific performance metrics, sample sizes for test sets, ground truth establishment, or clinical study designs like MRMC studies) are not present in the provided document.

    The "Performance Data (non-clinical)" section briefly mentions software verification and validation, but it does not provide the specific "acceptance criteria" for performance or the details of the "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the format requested. It mainly relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on similar technology and previous testing.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them using only the information given in the input text. The information required for the table and the detailed study description is simply not provided in this regulatory document.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document (K190286) is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Materialise Glenoid Positioning System. This document describes the device, its intended use, and claims substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K172054). However, it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria and the study results proving the device meets these criteria in the format requested.

    The "Performance Data" section (page 5-6) explicitly states:
    "Previous testing for biocompatibility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device and demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate device. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the same as that of the predicate Materialise Glenoid Positioning System K172054 and previously cleared devices K170893, K1536559, and therefore previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559 is considered applicable to the subject device."

    This statement indicates that performance testing was conducted, and its results were deemed adequate. However, the details of those tests, including specific acceptance criteria, reported performance values, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, and adjudication methods, are not present in this document. The document primarily relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices and states that "previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559 is considered applicable to the subject device." This suggests that the detailed study results might be found in the 510(k) submissions for those predicate devices, rather than being explicitly laid out in this current submission.

    Therefore, I cannot populate the table or provide specific details for most of your questions based solely on the text provided in K190286. The document focuses on regulatory justification for substantial equivalence, not a detailed scientific report of device performance trials.

The guide is designed and manufactured to fit the anatomy of a specific patient.

    The Materialise Glenoid Positioning Guides must only be used within the intended use of the compatible components.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Materialise Glenoid Positioning System. It claims substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K153602) and mentions performance data from previous testing. However, it does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or the study that directly proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of quantitative performance metrics.

    The text states: "Previous testing for biocompatibility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device and demonstrate squivalence with the predicate device. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the same as that of the predicate Materialise Glenoid Positioning System (K153602), and therefore previous cadaver testing on predicate device K153602 and previously cleared device K131559 (which is the predicate for K153602) is considered applicable to the subject device."

    This indicates that some performance evaluation was done for the predicate devices, and that information is being leveraged for the current submission. However, the specific acceptance criteria (e.g., maximum allowable deviation, accuracy thresholds) and the results of a study against those criteria for the current device are not presented in this document.

    Therefore, I cannot provide a complete answer to your request based solely on the provided text. I will, however, outline what information is available and explicitly state what is missing.


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

    This information is not explicitly provided in the document. The text states: "Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended." This is a qualitative statement, not a quantitative table of acceptance criteria and performance against those criteria.

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

    The document mentions "previous cadaver testing on predicate device K153602 and previously cleared device K131559".

    • Sample size: Not specified.
    • Data provenance: Cadaver testing. Country of origin not specified.
    • Retrospective/Prospective: Not specified, but cadaver testing is typically prospective for the purpose of the study.

    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 information is not provided in the document.

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

    This information is not provided in the document.

    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

    • MRMC study: Not mentioned. The device is a surgical instrument/guide, not typically an AI-driven image interpretation system that would involve "human readers" in the sense of diagnostic interpretation. It assists surgeons in positioning glenoid components based on preoperative planning.
    • Effect size: Not applicable given the nature of the device and the lack of an MRMC study.

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

    The device is a "patient specific guide that is based on a pre-surgical plan" and a "software component, branded as SurgiCase Planner. This software is a planning tool used to generate a pre-surgical plan for a specific patient." The "Materialise Glenoid Positioning System guides are patient specific templates which transfer the pre-operatively determined pin positioning to the patient intraoperatively, assisting the surgeon."

    This indicates a human-in-the-loop process where a qualified surgeon inspects, fine-tunes, and approves the pre-surgical plan generated by the software. Therefore, a purely standalone algorithm-only performance as an output without human involvement is not the intended use model described. However, the accuracy of the output of the software (the surgical plan and subsequent guide design) would have been validated, which is essentially a standalone performance evaluation of the software component's mathematical and geometrical accuracy. The details of this validation are not in the document.

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

    Given the "cadaver testing" and the nature of the device (positioning guide), the ground truth for measuring accuracy would likely be physical measurements against an intended planned position or anatomical landmark, potentially established by expert surgeons or precise measurement tools. However, the specific method of establishing this ground truth is not detailed in the document.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    The document describes premarket notification for a medical device that includes "a software component" for planning and "a hardware component" (patient-specific guide). It mentions "previous cadaver testing" which sounds more like a validation/testing stage rather than training for a machine learning model. If the software component involves machine learning or AI, the training set details are not provided. The text focuses on the device being "substantially equivalent" to a predicate, implying that much of the foundational validation comes from the predicate's testing.

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

    As described in point 8, a "training set" in the context of machine learning is not explicitly mentioned, and thus how its ground truth was established is not provided. If the software uses algorithms that are not machine learning-based, then the concept of a training set as typically defined for AI may not apply. The emphasis is on the software generating a "pre-surgical plan" and its accuracy.

    The Materialise Glenoid Positioning System guide is single use only.

    Device Description

    The Materialise Glenoid Positioning System™ consists of a software component, SurgiCase Planner and a hardware component, Materialise Glenoid Positioning System™ guide, and is designed to assist the surgeon in the placement of glenoid components.

    Materialise Glenoid Positioning Guides are patient-specific medical devices that are designed to assist the surgeon in the placement of glenoid components.

    The Materialise Glenoid Positioning Guides must only be used within the intended use of the compatible components.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the Materialise Glenoid Positioning System and its 510(k) submission for clearance. Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The text does not explicitly present a table of acceptance criteria with numerical targets. However, it implicitly states that the device was validated through non-clinical tests to ensure accuracy and performance, and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

    Performance CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance
    AccuracyAdequate for intended useVerified to be adequate
    BiocompatibilityApplicable to subject deviceReached through previous testing and found applicable
    CleaningApplicable to subject deviceReached through previous testing and found applicable
    DebrisApplicable to subject deviceReached through previous testing and found applicable
    Dimensional StabilityApplicable to subject deviceReached through previous testing and found applicable
    PackagingApplicable to subject deviceReached through previous testing and found applicable
    Overall PerformanceAs safe, effective, and performs as well as predicate deviceValidated through non-clinical tests (rapid prototyped bone models) and cadaver testing; demonstrated equivalent product performance to predicate device (K131559).

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a number of "cases" or "patients." The text mentions "rapid prototyped bone models" and "cadaver testing." This suggests the test set consisted of physical models and cadavers rather than patient data.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified regarding country of origin. The studies were non-clinical ("rapid prototyped bone models" and "cadaver testing"), implying they were experimental setups rather than retrospective or prospective patient data studies.

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

    This information is not provided in the text. The documentation focuses on engineering and performance testing rather than assessment by clinical experts for ground truth. The "pre-surgical plan" is "fine-tuned and approved" by a "qualified surgeon," but this is part of the device's operational workflow, not the establishment of ground truth for its performance validation studies.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This information is not provided in the text. Given the nature of the validation (physical models and cadavers), adjudication by multiple experts in the traditional sense is unlikely to have been the primary method for determining accuracy. Accuracy would likely have been measured against pre-defined engineering tolerances or direct physical measurements.

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

    No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned. The study described focuses on the device's accuracy and performance in a standalone context against a predicate, not on how it improves human reader performance.

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

    Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The text states: "Materialise Glenoid Positioning System was validated through non-clinical tests using rapid prototyped bone models to verify the system is adequate to perform as intended." This refers to evaluating the system's ability to precisely guide positioning against a pre-planned target, which is an assessment of the algorithm/system's accuracy. Cadaver testing also validates the device's performance in a more realistic surgical environment.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for the non-clinical tests likely involved pre-defined anatomical landmarks and surgical plans (for the rapid prototyped bone models) and cadaveric anatomy matched against the pre-surgical plan. The measurement of accuracy would be against the intended positioning based on these pre-established targets. It's not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the traditional sense, but rather a direct measurement against a known "correct" position derived from the surgical planning.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The text does not mention a "training set" or any information related to machine learning model training. The device is described as a software component (SurgiCase Planner) and a hardware component (patient-specific guides) that creates pre-surgical plans and assists in intraoperative positioning. This suggests a rule-based or engineering-based design, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

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

    As no training set is mentioned (see point 8), this information is not applicable/provided.
