The Augmented VaultLock Glenoid is indicated in replacement(s) when conditions include severe pain or significant disability resulting from degenerative, traumatic disease, or injury of the glenohumeral joint; non-union humeral head fractures of long duration; irreducible 2- and 4- part proximal humeral fractures; avascular necrosis of the humeral head; or, other difficult clinical management problems where arthrodesis or resectional arthroplasty is not acceptable.
The glenoid components are designed fixation in the joint and must only be used with appropriate bone cement.
The Augmented VaultLock Glenoid is made of the same materials as the predicate (UHMWPE). The Augmented VaultLock Glenoid is designed with a half-wedge augment. The proposed device has an identical spherical articulating surface as that of the previously cleared glenoids and is available in 4 nominal sizes. The proposed device is a line extension to the Arthrex VaultLock Glenoid cleared under K161108.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "Augmented VaultLock Glenoid" by Arthrex Inc. It is a medical device, specifically a shoulder prosthesis. The document mainly focuses on proving the substantial equivalence of the new device to existing predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria and proving performance through a standalone clinical study with specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement.
Therefore, many of the requested details, such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, and details on training sets for an AI device, are not applicable to this type of submission. This is a submission for a physical medical implant, not an AI or algorithmic diagnostic device.
The "Performance Data" section in the document refers to mechanical testing and biocompatibility testing, which are standard for physical implants, not clinical performance metrics in the way typically discussed for diagnostic algorithms.
Here's an attempt to fill in the table and address the questions based only on the provided text, recognizing that many fields will be "Not Applicable" for this type of device submission.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria (if stated) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Testing | Meets standards requirements (per ASTM F2028) | Demonstrated that the proposed device meets standards requirements (Rocking horse testing) |
| Biocompatibility | Meets pyrogen limit specifications (per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011/(R)2016, USP <161>, USP <85>, EP 2.6.14) | Bacterial Endotoxin test conducted and meets specifications |
| MRI Safety | N/A (implied to be safe in MR environment) | MRI testing conducted in accordance with FDA guidance and ASTM F2182 |
| Substantial Equivalence | Demonstrates equivalence to predicate device in terms of design features and intended use, with minor differences not raising safety/effectiveness questions. | Conclusion states: "The mechanical testing data demonstrates that the proposed device performance is equivalent to the predicate device for the desired indications. Any differences between the proposed device and the predicate device are considered minor and do not raise questions regarding safety or effectiveness." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable. This submission describes mechanical and biocompatibility testing for a physical implant, not a clinical test set for an algorithmic device to establish diagnostic performance. The "tests" mentioned are physical and laboratory-based.
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)
- Not applicable. Ground truth establishment by experts is relevant for diagnostic algorithms or subjective clinical assessments. This submission focuses on engineering performance (mechanical strength, material safety).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. Adjudication methods are typically used for reconciling expert opinions in diagnostic studies. This is not a diagnostic study.
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. An MRMC study is relevant for evaluating the impact of AI on human reader performance in diagnostic tasks. This device is a physical shoulder implant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on engineering standards (e.g., ASTM F2028 for mechanical testing) and international standards for biocompatibility (e.g., ANSI/AAMI ST72). Compliance with these established industry standards serves as the benchmark for safety and performance in this context.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of an AI/algorithmic device for this physical implant.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" for this physical implant.

Dear Ivette Galmez:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

Identification. A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
