The previously cleared Triathlon® Hinge Knee (THK) System (K223528) is a tricompartmental knee system consisting of a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component connected by a set of Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) bushings and MRH axle (K222056, K002552, K994207). A bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the MRH axle/bushing combination in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between bearing surfaces on the underside of a tibial bearing component and a hinge tibial insert provide motion in the rotating plane. A hinge tibial insert is assembled to a revision tibial baseplate which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a Triathlon® tibial sleeve or an MRH tibial sleeve. Optional distal femoral and tibial augments are available to fill bone defect. The Instructions for Use and package labels for the THK components are being updated to bear the MR Conditional symbol and MR Conditional parameters.

The subject Triathlon® Bushing and Axle (Standard Assembly Pack) contains sterile, singleuse devices that are being added to the previously cleared THK System (K223528) as an alternate option to MRH bushings and MRH axle to connect a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial bearing component and provide motion through the flexion/extension plane.

This premarket notification also introduces the subject Triathlon® Revision Insert X3®, which is a sterile, single-use device that is intended for use in a total knee arthroplasty with the previously cleared Triathlon® Revision Tibial Baseplate (K223528) and Triathlon® TS Femoral Component (K172326, K141056, K070095) as part of the Triathlon® Total Knee System. The subject insert is available in seven sizes, and each size is available in seven different thicknesses. The subject insert is packaged together with Cobalt-Chrome (CoCr) stabilizer pin and filler bushing subcomponents that are assembled intraoperatively. The subject insert is assembled to the previously cleared Triathlon® Revision Baseplate (K223528), which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept the filler bushing subcomponent. The stabilizer pin is inserted through the subject Triathlon® Revision Insert X3® and extends into filler bushing assembled within the Triathlon® Revision Tibial Baseplate to provide additional stability in the insert post.

This FDA K-number document (K230416) is for a medical device, specifically orthopaedic implants (knee systems), and thus does not involve acceptance criteria or studies related to AI/ML device performance. The document only lists pre-clinical (non-clinical) testing performed on the device components, such as materials characterization, wear analysis, fatigue testing, and biocompatibility, to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. There is no mention of an algorithm or AI model, nor any associated acceptance criteria, study designs, or ground truth establishment relevant to AI/ML performance.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for information related to AI/ML device acceptance criteria and study details based on the provided document. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence."

The Modular Rotating Hinge (MRH) Knee System is a tri-compartmental knee system that consists of a stemmed femoral component and a stemmed tibial rotation component, connected by a set of bushings and an axle. A bumper locks this assembly. This assembly provides motion through the axle/bushing combinations in the flexion/extension plane. The articulation between the cylindrical bearing surfaces on the underside of the tibial rotating component and a tibial insert provide motion in the rotation plane. The tibial insert is assembled to a tibial stemmed tray which incorporates a longitudinal bore to accept a tibial sleeve.
The Modular Rotating Hinge Knee System is designed to provide varus/valgus stability throughout the range of motion, internal/external rotation about the tibial axis, constrained by the bearing surface radius on the tibial rotating component, and an extensive range of size, modularity and resection options. The implant system consists of a femoral component in five sizes, a tibial rotating component in five sizes, tibial crossover bearing components in various sizes, bumper inserts, tibial and femoral augmentation components and a tibial sleeve. The MRH Knee System is compatible with components of the Kinemax/Kinematic Knee System, Duracon Knee System, Howmedica Total Stabilizer Knee System, and the GMRS/MRS System.

This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for several knee joint prostheses and related components. The submission's purpose is to modify the labeling of these devices to include "MR Conditional" information. Therefore, the "device" in question for this prompt is the MR Conditional labeling for the existing knee implant systems, not a new or modified implant design itself. The study discussed relates to the safety of these existing implants in an MRI environment.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

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

The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of number of physical devices tested or a number of patients or images. The testing described is non-clinical testing (phantom/bench testing) performed on the device components themselves to evaluate their interaction with MRI fields.

• Sample Size: Not specified as typically understood for clinical studies (e.g., number of patients/images). This refers to physical samples of the device components or simulated constructs used in bench testing.
• Data Provenance: This is non-clinical/bench testing data, likely generated in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer or a contract testing facility. "Country of origin" for non-clinical testing is not specified, but the applicant is based in Mahwah, New Jersey, USA. The testing is retrospective in the sense that it's performed on manufactured devices, but it's a prospective evaluation of their MRI safety characteristics.

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

For this type of non-clinical, MRI safety testing, "ground truth" is not established by human experts in the same way it would be for diagnostic image interpretation. The "ground truth" is determined by the physical measurements against established safety standards (e.g., ASTM standards for magnetic force, torque, heating, and artifact). The "experts" involved would be technicians and engineers skilled in conducting these specific non-clinical tests and interpreting their results against the predefined standard limits. Their qualifications would involve expertise in materials science, biomechanics, and MRI physics, along with knowledge of the relevant ASTM standards and FDA guidance documents. The document does not specify the number or specific qualifications of these individuals.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically for clinical studies where human reviewers assess data. For non-clinical, objective measurements against established standards, the test results themselves, when within the specified limits of the standards, serve as the "adjudication."

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence." This is a non-clinical evaluation of device safety with MRI, not a comparative study of diagnostic performance or human reader improvement.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

Not applicable. This device is a physical knee implant component, not an algorithm or AI software. The testing evaluated the physical device's interaction with MRI machines.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used in this submission is based on established engineering and medical device safety standards (specifically ASTM standards F2052-15, F2213-17, F2119-07, F2182-19e1) and FDA guidance documents (e.g., "Assessment of Radiofrequency-Induced Heating in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment..." and the May 2021 guidance document for heating in tissue). The "truth" is whether the measured physical properties (displacement, torque, artifact, heating) fall within the acceptable limits defined by these recognized standards and guidance.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device, so there is no "training set." The testing performed is non-clinical for MRI safety.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.
