    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (hip stem extension line). It details the device's identity, intended use, and comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, especially not in the context of an AI/ML-driven device.

    The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices based on:

    1. Identical Indications for Use: The new device has the same indications as the predicate devices.
    2. Similar Technological Characteristics: The material, principle of operation, regulation number, product code, risk class, intended users, fixation method, surface coating, locking mechanism, and sterilization method are the same as the predicate device.
    3. Non-Clinical Performance Data: The submission includes tests like Range of Motion, Neck Fatigue Assessment, Stem Fatigue Test, Characterization of HA Plasma Spray Coating, and Usability Evaluation. These are standard engineering and material tests for orthopedic implants, not AI/ML performance metrics.

    Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for AI/ML).
    • Sample size and data provenance for a test set (for AI/ML).
    • Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth (for AI/ML).
    • Adjudication method (for AI/ML).
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness study or human reader improvement with AI.
    • Standalone algorithm performance.
    • Type of ground truth (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for AI/ML validation.
    • Sample size for the training set (for AI/ML).
    • How ground truth for the training set was established (for AI/ML).

    The document is about a physical orthopedic implant and its substantial equivalence based on mechanical and material testing, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device.

    Device Description

    U2 Bipolar Implant is intraoperatively assembled to any appropriately size UNITED femoral stem with compatible head size. This device is offered in 38-56 mm outer diameters and with 22mm, 26mm and 28mm inner diameter. It is comprised of an outer shell (ASTM F75-12/ ISO 5832-4:2014 casting Co-Cr-Mo allov, raw materials ASTM F1537-11/ISO 5832-12:2007) into a permanently assembled bearing insert (ASTM F648-14/ISO 5834-1:2005 and ISO 5834-2:2011). The minimum thickness of the polyethylene at the load bearing area is 5 mm. The assembled prosthesis provides for primary articulation at the femoral head/inner polyethylene bearing interface and secondary articulation at the outer shell/acetabulum interface. The internal aspect of the shell is designed to lock the polyethylene liner. The outer metal surface of the bipolar hip prosthesis is highly polished for articulation with the patient's acetabulum.

    Femoral head for size 22mm is designed for use with U2 Bipolar Implant. It is made of Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F1537-11). The material and process method of 22 mm femoral head are identical to the previous cleared "United" femoral head (K994078).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the "U2 Bipolar Implant and 22mm Femoral Head." This particular type of document from the FDA is a regulatory submission for medical devices that are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, and it generally does not include detailed clinical study reports or acceptance criteria/performance results in the same format as a novel device approval.

    Based on the content, here's an analysis of what can and cannot be answered regarding acceptance criteria and device study:

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

    The document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria with corresponding device performance values. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing de novo acceptance criteria and then proving the device meets them through clinical or extensive non-clinical studies for novel products.

    The "Performance Data" section lists non-clinical tests performed:

    • a. Locking Mechanism of U2 Bipolar Implant
    • b. Range of Motion of U2 Bipolar Implant
    • c. Disassembly Force for Femoral Head and Stem

    However, specific acceptance criteria for these tests (e.g., minimum disassembly force in Newtons, minimum range of motion in degrees) and the numerical results of these tests are not provided in this document extract. The document simply states that these tests were "conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the subjected device."

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

    This information is not provided. The document mentions non-clinical performance tests but does not detail the sample sizes used for these mechanical tests or the provenance of any data beyond indicating "Taiwan" as the submitter's location.

    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 applicable/provided. Since the document refers to non-clinical (mechanical) tests and no clinical data, there is no mention of experts establishing a ground truth as would be relevant for diagnostic imaging or similar devices.

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

    This information is not applicable/provided. Adjudication methods are typically associated with human-read clinical studies, which are not detailed here.

    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

    An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic AI devices, which is not the nature of this hip implant.

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

    This information is not applicable/provided. This device is a passive hip implant, not an algorithm.

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

    For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications and performance expectations derived from predicate devices and relevant ISO/ASTM standards. However, the specific "type of ground truth" (e.g., a specific standard section referencing a required force or range) is not explicitly stated in this document. There is no mention of expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data being used as ground truth for this submission, as no clinical studies are presented.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This information is not applicable/provided. This device is a mechanical implant, not an AI/algorithm-based device that would require training data.

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

    This information is not applicable/provided for the same reason as point 8.


    Summary of what is known from the document regarding acceptance criteria and study:

    • Device Type: U2 Bipolar Implant and 22mm Femoral Head (hip joint femoral prosthesis).
    • Submission Type: 510(k) Premarket Notification based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
    • Study Focus: Primarily non-clinical performance tests.
    • Non-clinical Tests Conducted:
      • Locking Mechanism of U2 Bipolar Implant
      • Range of Motion of U2 Bipolar Implant
      • Disassembly Force for Femoral Head and Stem
    • Clinical Performance Data: "None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence."
    • Acceptance Criteria & Performance Values: Not explicitly detailed in the document. The statement "the performance evaluation for stopper ring of subject device was also conducted" implies successful evaluation without providing specific results or criteria.
    • Sample Sizes / Provenance / Ground Truth for Experts: Not provided or not applicable given the nature of the device and submission.

    This device is a single use implant and intended for cementless use only except cemented stem which is designed for cemented use only.

    Device Description

    The U2 Ti Porous Coated Matrix Stem is single use component intended for cementless fixation within the prepared femoral canals of patients requiring hip arthroplasty. U2 Ti Porous Coated Matrix Stem, made from a Ti-6Al-4V alloy conforming to ASTM F136-13/ISO 5832-3:1996, is a modular stem with 12/14 neck taper and 130° neck angle. The proximal part of each femoral stem is coated with porous coating in thickness 600±100 um using -45+60 mesh of CP Ti powder (ASTM F1580-12). The bulleted geometry stem tip of U2 Ti Porous Coated Matrix Stem helps reduce distal point loading while creating a smooth transition zone for load transfer. This stem system is available in thirteen sizes. U2 Ti Porous Coated Matrix Stem can be used with U1, U2 Acetabular components (K994078, K050262, K12177, K111546), U-Motion II Acetabular System components (K122185, K132455) and UNITED Femoral Head (K994078, K022520, K122504, K103497, K111546, K112463, K122185) for total hip replacement. For hip hemi-arthroplasty, U2 Ti Porous Coated Matrix Stem can be used in conjunction with Bipolar products (K101670).

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a medical device, the U2 Hip Stem, Ti Porous Coated, Matrix, and its 510(k) summary, but it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically understood for AI/algorithm-based devices. This document is for a physical orthopedic implant.

    Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as it pertains to AI device acceptance criteria and studies. The document describes:

    1. Device Type: A hip stem (orthopedic implant).
    2. Regulatory Pathway: 510(k) premarket notification, indicating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
    3. Non-clinical Performance Data: Mentions stem fatigue, neck fatigue, and mechanical properties of the porous coating surface. These tests comply with FDA guidance for femoral stem prostheses.
    4. Clinical Performance Data: Explicitly states "None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence."

    Key points missing (and why they are missing based on the document):

    • Acceptance Criteria Table: Not applicable as this is a physical implant, not an AI/algorithm with performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.
    • Sample Size for Test Set, Data Provenance, Experts for Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC Study, Standalone Performance, Ground Truth Type, Training Set Sample Size, Ground Truth for Training Set: All these points are relevant to AI/algorithm performance studies and are not found in this document because it concerns a physical medical device (hip stem). The "studies" mentioned are mechanical tests, not clinical evaluations or algorithm performance assessments.

    If you have a document describing an AI/algorithm-based medical device, I would be happy to analyze it according to your requested format.

    Device Description

    This subject device is a modification and an additional size extension to the previously cleared "UNITED" UTF Stem (K110245). The materials, safety and effectiveness of this subject device are identical to "UNITED" UTF Stem (K110245). Compared with the UTF Stem (K110245), the distal width of UTF Stem-reduced is reduced to provide more selection for clinical demand, and the thread diameter of impact hole of UTF Stem-reduced is enlarged to increase the mechanical strength of stem holder which is locked with impact hole.

    As the same as UTF Stem (K110245), UTF Stem-reduced, forged from a Ti-6A1-4V alloy (ASTM F136), is a modular, wedge-shaped stem with 12/14 neck taper and 130° neck angle. The proximal part of each femoral stem is plasma coated with CP Ti powder (ASTM F1580) in thickness 500±127μm. UTF Stem-reduced is available with standard and high offset options, and each,type is available in sizes #111. The specifications of UTF Stem-reduced in size #16 and #9 are identical with UTF Stem (K110245) in size #7.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16.5, respectively, while size #7, 8, 10 and 11 are new items which is between size # 13 and #22 in UTF Stem (K110245). These modifications will not affect its safety and effectiveness.

    For total hip replacement, UTF Stem-reduced can be used in conjunction with UNITED Femoral Head (K994078, K022520, K111546 and K122504), Ceramic Femoral Head (K103497, K112463), U2 Acetabular Cup Liner (K050262), XPE Cup Liner (K111546), U2 HA/Ti Plasma Spray Cup (K050262, K12177), U2 Ti Plasma Spray Cup (K050262, K121777) and U2 Ti Porous Coated Cup (K111546). As using with U2 Acetabular Cup Liner (K050262), UTF Stem-reduced can be used with 26 mm and 28 mm metal Femoral Head (K994078, K022520, K122504) and 28 mm Ceramic Femoral Head (K103497). As using with XPE Cup Liner (K111546), UTF Stem can be used with 28 mm, 32 mm and 36 mm metal Femoral Head (K022520, K111546, K122504) and 28 i mm, 32 mm and 36 mm Ceramic Femoral Head (K103497, K112463).

    For bipolar hip replacement, UTF Stem-reduced also can be used in conjunction with 26 mm, 28 mm, 32mm and 36mm metal Femoral Head (K994078, K022520, K111546, K122504), 28 mm, 32 mm and 36 mm Ceramic Femoral Head (K103497, K112463) and Bipolar implants (K101670). UNITED Femoral Head and Bipolar Cap are made of Co-Cr-Mo alloy, while Ceramic Femoral Head is manufactured from alumina. Acetabular Cup Liner and Bipolar Cap Liner are made of UHMWPE, while U2 Acetabular Cup shells are manufactured from forged Titanium alloy.

    Study Information

    This submission is for a medical device (UTF Stem, reduced) and does not involve an AI/ML-based diagnostic or prognostic device, therefore many of the typical questions related to such studies (sample size for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies) are not applicable. The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a modified orthopedic implant. The "study" described is primarily non-clinical engineering analysis and refers to previous testing of a predicate device.

    1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. No specific "test set" in the context of image-based or data-driven AI diagnostics is mentioned. The non-clinical testing involved mechanical testing of the predicate device and engineering analysis of the modifications to the subject device.
    2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. No ground truth in the context of expert review for diagnostic accuracy is mentioned.
    3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    4. 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 was done, as this is not an AI/ML-based device.
    5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML-based device.
    6. The type of ground truth used: For the non-clinical testing of the predicate device, the "ground truth" was defined by international standards (ISO 7206-4 and ISO 7206-6) for mechanical performance criteria. For the modified coating, it was conformance to FDA Guidance.
    7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. No training set for an AI/ML model is mentioned.
    8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    Summary of the "Study" and Basis for Acceptance

    The submission is for a modification and size extension to a previously cleared hip stem ("UNITED" UTF Stem, K110245). The core argument for acceptance is substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

    • Non-Clinical Testing of Predicate Device: The predicate device (UTF Stem K110245) had its stem fatigue test completed according to ISO 7206-4 and its neck fatigue test according to ISO 7206-6. These tests established the performance benchmarks for the original design.
    • Engineering Analysis for the Subject Device (UTF Stem, reduced): For the new "UTF Stem, reduced" device, no additional non-clinical mechanical testing was performed on the stem itself. Instead, the manufacturer relied on Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis. This analysis concluded that the modifications (reduced distal width and enlarged thread diameter of the impact hole) did not decrease the stem fatigue strength or neck fatigue strength compared to the predicate device.
    • Materials Testing: For the modified coating, chemical analysis, microstructural characterization, and mechanical strength were evaluated. The results were found to conform to the requirements of the FDA Guidance, "Guidance for Industry on the Testing of Metallic Plasma Sprayed Coatings on Orthopedic Implants to Support Reconsideration of Postmarket Surveillance Requirements."
    • Clinical Testing: No clinical testing was required or performed for this submission, further indicating the reliance on substantial equivalence and non-clinical data.
    • Conclusion: Based on the engineering analysis of the design modification and the materials testing, the manufacturer determined that the "UTF Stem, reduced" is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicates, meaning it is considered "as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safely and effectively."

    Locking strength test demonstrates safety and effectiveness, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices.The locking strength test was completed as part of the design assurance process and demonstrated that this device is safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

    Study Information:

    Please note that the provided 510(k) summary is for a medical device (hip prosthesis) and not an AI/software as a medical device (SaMD). Therefore, many of the requested points related to AI/SaMD studies (such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, or training set details) are not applicable to this type of submission.

    The "study" referenced in this document is primarily a mechanical performance study and demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices.

    Non-Applicable / Not Provided for this Device Type:

    • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to mechanical testing, not a clinical data set.
    • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for mechanical properties is established through standardized testing methods, not expert clinical consensus.
    • Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
    • 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: Not applicable. This is a hardware implant, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
    • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
    • The type of ground truth used: For mechanical tests, the "ground truth" is typically the established standard (e.g., ASTM standards) that the device must meet, measured by laboratory instruments.
    • The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI training set for this device.
    • How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    Summary of the "Study" and Justification:

    The "study" or rather, the basis for clearance, relies on:

    1. Mechanical Performance Testing: The device underwent testing to ensure its mechanical properties conform to the FDA's "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Hip Joint Metal/Polymer Constrained Cemented or Uncemented Prosthesis." This includes a "locking strength test."
    2. Substantial Equivalence: The primary strategy for regulatory clearance (510(k)) is to demonstrate that the new device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices. The modifications introduced (additional sizes and multi-hole cup designs) were assessed and determined not to affect the intended use or fundamental scientific technology.
    3. Predicate Devices:
      • "United" U2 Acetabular Component (K050262) - This is the primary predicate, with the new device being an "extension" of it.
      • "ENCORE MEDICAL, L.P." FMP Acetabular Shell (K063257)
      • "Depuy" Pinnacle® Duofix® HA Shells (K031495)
      • "BIOMET®" Universal® Acetabular Component (K921301)

    The "Performance Data" section explicitly states that the mechanical properties of the modified surface were "evaluated to conform" to the FDA guidance and that the "locking strength test demonstrated that this device is safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." This is the core of the evidence presented for this type of medical device submission.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes the U2 Hip System, a semi-constrained hip prosthesis. It details the device components, materials, and indications for use. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through comparisons of design, operational principles, material composition, and extensive bench performance tests. There is no information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the sense of clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy. Instead, the "performance test - bench" section outlines mechanical tests conducted to ensure the device's safety and effectiveness regarding its physical properties and mechanical integrity.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the user's questions where applicable, and noting where information is not available:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as pass/fail thresholds for clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy. Instead, it describes mechanical tests performed to demonstrate the device's ability to withstand expected in vivo loading. The "reported device performance" is that these tests were performed and a "review of the mechanical data indicates that the U2 Hip System is capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure." No specific numerical results of these tests and their comparison against predefined limits are provided in this summary.

    Here's a summary of the tests performed and the general conclusion:

    Test PerformedReported Device Performance
    Locking Strength of XPE Cup Liner per ASTM F1820Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Wear Simulation Test of XPE Cup Liner per ISO 14242-1Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Range of Motion for XPE Cup Liner and 32 and 36 mm Femoral Head by CAD simulationMechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Femoral Head Disassembly loads for the Subject Stem per ASTM F2009Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Stem Fatigue Test for Press-fit Stem and Cemented Stem with Torsion per ISO 7206-4 and ASTM F1612Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Neck Fatigue Test for Press-fit Stem and Cemented Stem with Torsion per ISO 7206-6Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Evaluation of modified surface treatment (SEM, shear fatigue, static shear, static tensile, taber abrasion resistance)Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.
    Characterization of material properties of XPE cup liner (tensile, ultimate load, Izod impact, fatigue crack propagation, thermal, residual free radicals, swell ratio, oxidation index, trans-vinylene index)Mechanical data indicates capability of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure.

    The document states: "A review of these tests has demonstrated that there are no new issues related to the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices."

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

    Not applicable. The study described is a series of bench performance tests on the device's components, not a clinical trial or a study involving human subjects or data. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of patient data.

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

    Not applicable. This is a medical device (hip prosthesis), and the "study" involves mechanical testing, not interpretation of data by experts for ground truth establishment.

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

    Not applicable. This is a medical device (hip prosthesis) and the "study" involves mechanical testing.

    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

    Not applicable. This document pertains to a medical device (hip prosthesis), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool that would involve human readers.

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

    Not applicable. This document pertains to a medical device (hip prosthesis), not an algorithm.

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

    Not applicable in the conventional sense of diagnostic accuracy studies. For mechanical tests, the "ground truth" is defined by the objective physical properties and performance characteristics as measured against established ASTM and ISO standards for medical implants. The tests themselves are designed to evaluate whether the components meet these engineering standards for safety and effectiveness.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning algorithm.

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

    Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning algorithm.

    Additional Information from the document:

    • Clinical Data: "Clinical data was not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices." This implies that the substantial equivalence argument was entirely based on non-clinical (bench) testing and comparison to predicate devices.
    • Regulatory Basis: The 510(k) was prepared in accordance with several FDA guidance documents for hip joint prostheses and orthopedic implants, reinforcing that the testing conducted (as detailed in the "Performance Test - Bench" section) is the accepted method for demonstrating safety and effectiveness for this type of device.

    Device Description

    The U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoal Head are designated as an acetabular component and femoral head and are to be used with United U1 hip stem (K994078) and U2 hip stem (K003237) of total hip replacement. It is a modular type of product system. The U2 Acetabular Cup has ten sizes of options, hemispherical design, porous-coated surface on the metallic shell, clustered bone screw holes, spherical screw holes for variable screw locking angle, PMMA cement plug, easy snap-in and take out mechanism, 12 options for angle adjustment, minimum 6.9 mm thickness of UHMWPE liner. The metallic shell is produced from cast Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F75). The plastic liner is machined from extruded UHMWPE bars (ISO 5834/I). The U2 28 mm femoral head is aimed to providing more choice for orthopaedic surgeon to perform total hip arthroplasty. The taper angle of 28 mm femoral head is identical with U1 26. mm femoral head (K994078). Therefore, U2 28 mm femoral head can be used wath our Ul and U2 hip stems. The U2 28 mm femoral head is available in -3, +0, +5, and +10 mm of neck length.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral Head, and therefore it is a submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through clinical trials or software validation.

    Here's an analysis of what is and isn't present in the document based on your request:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not present "acceptance criteria" in the typical sense of a clinical study (i.e., specific sensitivity, specificity, accuracy targets). Instead, it presents test results for biomechanical properties and states that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device.

    Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Static Tensile Strength (Porous Coating)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K994078)27 MPa
    Static Shear Strength (Porous Coating)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K994078)67 MPa
    Porosity (Porous Coating)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K994078)30 to 70 percent
    Pore Size (Porous Coating)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K994078)100 to 1000 microns
    Thickness (Porous Coating)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (K994078)500 to 1500 microns
    Range of Motion (U2 Acetabular Cup)Substantially equivalent to predicate device (U1 Hip System K994078)U2 Acetabular Cup is substantial equivalent to U1 Hip System (K994078)
    Locking Mechanism (Push-out Test)Compared with U1 Hip System (K994078)Integrity is substantial equivalent
    Locking Mechanism (Lever-out Test)Compared with U1 Hip System (K994078)Integrity is substantial equivalent
    Locking Mechanism (Torque-out Test)Compared with U1 Hip System (K994078)Integrity is substantial equivalent

    Explanation of "Acceptance Criteria" in this context: For a 510(k) submission, the primary "acceptance criterion" is demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. The performance metrics presented are compared against the predicate device or industry standards to support this claim.

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

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in terms of patient data or clinical samples. The testing described (static tensile/shear strength, porosity, range of motion, biomechanical tests) refers to physical testing of the device components. The number of units tested for each biomechanical or material property is not provided.
    • Data Provenance: The testing appears to be laboratory-based physical/mechanical testing of the device components. It is not patient data. The manufacturer is located in Hsinchu, Taiwan, suggesting the testing was likely conducted by or for the manufacturer.

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

    This is not applicable as the study described is physical product testing, not an assessment requiring expert adjudication of "ground truth" using imaging or clinical data.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    This is not applicable for the reasons stated above.

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

    No, an MRMC study was not done. The document describes physical and biomechanical testing of the device, not a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or AI.

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

    This is not applicable. The device is a physical medical implant (hip prosthesis components), not an algorithm or AI system.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" in this context refers to engineering specifications, material science standards (e.g., ASTM F75 for Co-Cr-Mo alloy, ISO 5834/I for UHMWPE), and the performance characteristics of the predicate device (UNITED U1 Hip Prosthesis K994078). The physical properties and biomechanical performance of the U2 Acetabular Cup and Femoral Head were measured and compared against these established benchmarks.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    This is not applicable. The device is a physical medical implant, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

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

    This is not applicable.
