The Evolution® Total Knee Systems can be implanted using the Kinematic Alignment technique. When the Kinematic Alignment approach is utilized, the devices are indicated for the following conditions:

• 1. noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis;
• 2. inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis;
• 3. correction of functional deformity;

The Evolution® Kinematic Alignment technique may only be used with Evolution® Primary Knee components or the Evolution® Stemmed CS Femur and Evolution® Revision Tibia Base.

The purpose of this submission is to seek clearance for the Evolution® Total Knematic Alignment Instrumentation and Technique. The instruments consist of resection and alignment guides, calipers, spacers, and trays that are used in conjunction with MicroPort's existing 510(k)-cleared knee instrumentation. The Kinematic Alignment technique is to duplicate the pre-arthritic native joint line. Unlike Mechanical Alignment where the focus is placed on making a perpendicular tibial resection, non-anatomic distal and posterior femoral cuts, and ligament releases if needed, Kinematic Alignment prioritizes the femoral cuts to replicate the native joint line. The Kinematic Alignment technique compensates for wear on the prearthritic joint line and strives for natural ligament tension.

The Evolution® Kinematic Alignment surgical technique is used with the following 510(k)-cleared knee components. No changes to the compatible Evolution® implants are being presented in this 510(k). The compatible implants are axactly the same as the previously cleared Evolution® implants.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. "Evolution® Total Knee Systems - Kinematic Alignment Instrumentation and Technique." It outlines the regulatory clearance process for a new surgical technique and associated instrumentation, not an AI/ML-based medical device. Therefore, the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study design for AI performance, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types is not applicable to this document.

This document describes a medical device (surgical instrumentation for knee replacement) that falls under traditional medical device regulations, where clearance is typically based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-existing, legally marketed predicate devices through non-clinical testing and comparison of technological characteristics. There is no mention of software with AI/ML components requiring performance evaluation against specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy, nor is there any data related to how human readers improve with AI assistance.

The document explicitly states: "Not applicable. Clinical data were not necessary for the subject device." and "The nonclinical analyses and validations demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective and performs as well or better than the legally marketed predicate and reference devices." This confirms that the clearance was based on non-clinical engineering and design validation, not clinical performance studies involving outcome data or expert consensus for AI/ML performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the provided text. The prompt's questions are tailored for AI/ML medical devices, which this document does not describe.

Non-porous MicroPort total knee replacement implants are for cemented use only.

Porous coated MicroPort total knee replacement implants, including ADVANCE® BIOFOAM® Tibial System and EVOLUTION® BIOFOAM® Tibial System implants, are for use without bone cement.

MicroPort's PROPHECY® Pre-Operative Navigation Alignment Guides are intended to be used as patient-specific surgical instrumentation to assist in the positioning of total knee replacement components intra-operatively and in quiding the marking of bone before cutting. The PROPHECY® Pre-Operative Navigation Alignment Guides are intended for use with MicroPort's ADVANCE® and EVOLUTION® Total Knee Systems and their cleared indications for use, provided that anatomic landmarks necessary for alignment and positioning of the implant are identifiable on patient imaging scans. The PROPHECY® Pre-Operative Navigation Alignment Guides are intended for single use only.

The device modification consists of an alteration to the sterilization instructions for FDAcleared MicroPort Orthopedics' (MPO) non-sterile knee orthopedic joint replacement instruments. The subject instruments are part of MicroPort Orthopedics' 510(k)-cleared knee product lines and are required to facilitate total knee arthroplasty procedures. The modification will allow the option to sterilize the subject instruments using an FDA-cleared containment device. The subject devices will be placed in an FDA-cleared containment device, which will be double-wrapped in an FDA-cleared CSR wrap or similar type nonwoven, medical grade wrapping material, and then steam sterilized.

The modified sterilization process of the subject instruments was successfully challenged and validated through worst-case load configurations using an FDA-cleared containment device. The intended use and sterilization parameters, such as cycle, temperature, and exposure time, remain identical to the predicate devices.

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

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance Study for MPO Knee Instruments Reprocessing Change (K213817)

This submission (K213817) focuses on a modification to the sterilization instructions for existing, FDA-cleared MicroPort Orthopedics' non-sterile knee instruments. The device itself (the instruments) remains unchanged in its design or intended use. The study specifically validates the modified sterilization process.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given that this submission is for a sterilization process change rather than a new diagnostic or AI-driven device, the acceptance criteria are related to the effectiveness of the sterilization and the integrity of the instruments after the new process.

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

The document does not explicitly state a numerical "sample size" in terms of how many individual instruments were tested or how many sterilization cycles were run. However, the testing was conducted under "worst-case load configurations," implying a robust validation approach.

• Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical count of individual instruments or cycles. Testing was performed under "worst-case load configurations" and for "MicroPort orthopedic joint replacement instruments."
• Data Provenance: The studies were non-clinical validation tests performed by MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. There is no mention of country of origin for data or whether it was retrospective or prospective, as it pertains to laboratory validation of a manufacturing process change.

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

This section is not applicable to this submission. The device is a set of surgical instruments, and the study is a non-clinical validation of a sterilization process. There is no "ground truth" to be established by human experts in the way that would apply to diagnostic imaging or AI devices. The conformity to sterilization standards (AAMI ST77:2013 and AAMI ST79:2017) and vibration testing (ISTA 2A) serves as the "ground truth" for the performance of the modified process.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This section is not applicable. Since there are no human experts establishing a ground truth for a diagnostic outcome, there is no adjudication method. The test results are objective measurements against established engineering and sterilization standards.

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

No. A MRMC comparative effectiveness study is designed for evaluating human performance, often with and without AI assistance, typically in diagnostic tasks. This submission is for surgical instruments and a sterilization process change, so such a study is not relevant or required.

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

No. This question typically applies to AI algorithms. The device being discussed is physical surgical instrumentation, and the study is evaluating a sterilization process, not an algorithm's performance.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this submission is established by adherence to recognized industry standards and validated testing protocols for sterilization and material integrity:

• Sterility: Demonstrated by successful validation according to AAMI ST77:2013 and AAMI ST79:2017, likely involving biological indicator testing and sterility assurance level (SAL).
• Physical Integrity/Durability: Demonstrated by successful vibration testing according to ISTA 2A.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This section is not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of validating a sterilization process for physical surgical instruments. Training sets are relevant for machine learning algorithms.

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

This section is not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of submission.
