Dear Christopher Lussier:
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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13484 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5 (Corrective and preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The subject and predicate devices (K170452, K170910, K180089, K210207, K223801 and K213117) are substantially equivalent with respect to the following characteristics:
- Monobloc stem design;
- Stem sizes;
- Stem fixation;
- Stem and liners inclination;
- Liners articular surface diameter;
- Liners and spacers height;
- Liners jump height;
- Double eccenters and metaphysis eccentricity;
- Coating, if applicable;
- Biocompatibility;
- Device usage;
- Packaging;
- Shelf-life; and
- Sterilization.
The subject devices differ from the predicate devices (K170452, K170910, K180089, K210207, K223801 and K213117) with respect to:
- Stem lengths;
- Stem coated area
- Stem suture hole;
- Liners coupling with the metaphysis;
- Metaphysis diameter;
- Spacers and double eccenters sizes; and
- 3D Metal short stem as well as E-Cross liners materials.
The subject distal screws are substantially equivalent to the predicate Humelock II Cementless Shoulder System – cortical screws (K130759) with respect to the main technological features.
Page 11
MSS – Monobloc stem Medacta International SA
Traditional 510(k) K250644 Page 5 of 6
Discussion
The subject monobloc stem lengths are partially different with respect to the predicate devices but this difference has no impact on safety and effectiveness since the subject devices' lengths is included in the range of Medacta predicate devices (K170452, K170910 and K180089).
The slightly different stem coated area between the subject and predicate devices does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness since the subject devices coated area percentage is within the range of Medacta predicate devices (K170452, K170910 and K180089).
The partially different suture holes of the subject monobloc stems respect to the predicate devices (K170452, K170910, K180089, K223801 and K213117) do not introduce any different questions with regards to safety and effectiveness since both the subject predicate devices have lateral and medial holes.
The tabs on the subject humeral reverse liners small and large have the same objective of the peg on Medacta humeral reverse liners cleared within K170452 without raising any different questions of safety and effectiveness.
The subject small humeral reverse metaphysis diameter does not affect safety and effectiveness since it is in the range of the predicate device, INHANCE Reverse Shoulder System (K212737).
The availability of two different sizes of spacers and double eccenters is strictly related to the two different metaphysis diameters designed on the subject monobloc stem, thus it has not any impact on safety and effectiveness.
The 3D metal version of the short stem as well as the E-cross version of humeral reverse liners small and large do not affect safety and effectiveness since the materials as well as the manufacturing processes are shared with the reference devices cleared within K202568 and K202022, respectively.
The comparison of technological characteristics and performance data provided within the submission supports the substantial equivalence of the subject devices respect to the predicate devices.

§ 888.3660 Shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
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)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) FDA's:
