The EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones are indicated for use in knee arthroplasty in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:

1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease: including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis

2. Inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including rheumatoid arthritis;

3. Correction of functional deformity

4. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques

The EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones are for uncemented use only.

The EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones are hollow, cone shaped accessory implants made of a Titanium Alloy substrate conforming to ASTM F136 and has a diffusion-bonded porous coating on the inner and out surface made Titanium conforming to ASTM F67 (OsteoSync™ Ti). These cones are to be used in knee arthroplasty in skeletally mature patients as part of the tibial implant construct. The subject device is press-fit into a reamed tibial void and then filled with bone cement to provide a reinforced cement mantle for the compatible tibial construct.

The EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones consist of 6 sizes of porous cones to be used particularly for complex knee replacement cases where there is severe defect where the bone will not provide appropriate fixation for the EVOLUTION® implants. The subject device is stackable to a construct of maximum 3 compatible sizes.

Overall functionality and indications for use of the device are identical to the predicate device, Regenerex™ Porous Titanium Sleeve Augments (K072336). The subject device possesses similar design characteristics being a tapered cone implant of similar dimension with a porous coating to promote greater bone adhesion.

The subject EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones are compatible with the EVOLUTION® Revision Tibia components (K162026, K231947) and the EVOLUTION® Hinge Knee System modular tibial bases (K230563). This 510(k) also seeks to expand the compatibility of the cement keel (K231947) to also be used with the EVOLUTION® Hinge Modular Tibial Base (K230563) as they are used in conjunction with the subject EVOLUTION® Tibia Cones. The EVOLUTION® Hinge Modular Tibia Base possesses the same identical modular stem taper as the currently compatible EVOLUTION® Revision Tibia (K162026). Therefore, assessments presented in K231947 are sufficient to support the compatibility with EVOLUTION® Hinge Modular Tibia Base.

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Microport Orthopedics EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones. This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria in the context of an AI/ML device.

Instead, this document details the substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (tibial cones used in knee arthroplasty) to legally marketed predicate devices. The "testing" mentioned is non-clinical bench testing for material properties and an MRI safety evaluation, not clinical studies or performance evaluations against acceptance criteria for an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because the provided text does not describe an AI/ML device or its performance study.

Here's a breakdown of why this information is not present in the provided text:

• No AI/ML Device: The document describes "EVOLUTION® Tibial Cones" which are hollow, cone-shaped accessory implants made of titanium alloy with a porous coating. This is a physical orthopedic implant.
• No Acceptance Criteria for AI/ML Performance: The document does not mention any AI/ML model, its output, or any performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, or accuracy which would be subject to acceptance criteria in an AI/ML study.
• No Study Proving AI/ML Performance: The "Nonclinical Testing" Section D lists tests related to the physical properties of the implant (e.g., porous coating evaluation, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, MRI safety). These are standard for physical medical devices and are not AI/ML performance studies.
• No Clinical Testing: Section E explicitly states, "Clinical data was not submitted or relied on for a determination of substantial equivalence." This further confirms that no studies involving human data (which would be central to an AI/ML medical device's evaluation) were performed or relied upon for this submission.

If you have a document describing an AI/ML medical device and its performance study, please provide that, and I would be happy to help.

The LINK Endo-Model EVO Knee System is available in multiple versions with different applications, characteristics, and materials. The LINK Endo-Model EVO is a constrained total knee prosthesis, which is based on the previously cleared LINK Endo-Model Knee System (K143179, K152431, K212742), and is considered an evolution ('EVO') of the previous designs. The Knee System is available in two different hinge designs - Rotating Hinge and Non- rotating (Pure) Hinge. Also like the previously cleared system, the subject LINK Endo- Model EVO is available in two versions - LINK Endo-Model EVO Standard and LINK Endo-Model EVO - Modular. The femoral and tibial components of the standard version have fixed stems while the femoral and tibial components of the modular system are available with stems having a taper connection. The modular system includes femoral components with either a male taper or a female taper, and are designated as LINK Endo-Model EVO-M (male taper) and Endo-Model EVO-W ("weiblich" = female taper). The LINK Endo-Model EVO - Standard consists of a cemented monoblock femoral component made from CoCrMo and cPE and a cemented monoblock tibial component made from CoCrMo and an articulating surface made from cPE. The Standard System is available in Rotating Hinge or Pure Hinge. The LINK Endo-Model EVO – M consists of a cemented modular femoral component made from CoCrMo, Ti6A14V (Tilastan) and cPE and a cemented modular tibial component made from CoCrMo, Ti6Al4V (Tilastan) and an articulating surface made from cPE and with modular stems, cemented made from CoCrMo or cementless made from Ti6Al4V (Tilastan).

The Modular System is available in Rotating Hinge or Pure Hinge. The femoral components can be used with distal and femoral (straight and L-shaped) segments made from Ti6A14V (Tilastan). The modular tibial components can be used with tibial spacers made from Ti6Al4V (Tilastan). The femoral and tibial components Rotating Hinge versions are also available in LINK PorEx (TiNbN) coated version. Additionally a 3-peg patella can be used with the LINK Endo-Model EVO Knee System. It is made from cPE. The LINK Endo-Model EVO Knee System femoral and tibial components are compatible with the previously cleared LINK Endo-Model Knee System (K143179, K152431 and K212742). The femoral components of the LINK Endo-Model EVO – W are compatible with the previously cleared LINK MEGASYSTEM-C (K151008). The LINK Endo-Model EVO Knee System is compatible with previously cleared Tibial and Femoral Cones of Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG (K200113 and K201364). The Link OptiStems are an expansion of the modular stem portfolio. The Link OptiStems consist of a modular stem, adapter and fixation screw. The Link OptiStems come in cemented and cementless version. The Link OptiStems have to be joined and implanted in combination with the Femoral Components of LINK Endo-Model SL (K151008) or LINK Endo-Model EVO – M / -W.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the LINK Endo-Model EVO Knee System. It details the device description, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with performance testing.

However, this document does not describe the acceptance criteria or a study that proves a device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML-enabled medical device.

The document states:

• "Clinical performance testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of this device." This explicitly indicates that a clinical study, which would typically involve human subjects and the type of performance evaluation (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) relevant to AI/ML devices, was not performed.
• The "Performance Testing" section lists non-clinical tests such as "Range of Motion analysis," "Wear analysis," "Particle analysis," "Tibial baseplate component fatigue testing," "Contact area/stress analysis," and "Fretting / Corrosion." These are mechanical and material performance tests typically done for orthopedic implants, not software or AI algorithm performance.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on the given text. The details about acceptance criteria, test set size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set, and ground truth establishment are not present in this regulatory submission for a knee implant.
