Intended Use

The Biomet® Bi-Polar Shoulder System is indicated for use in:

  1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis
  2. Rheumatoid arthritis
  3. Revision where other devices or treatments have failed
  4. Correction of functional deformity
  5. Treatment of acute fracture of the humeral head unmanageable using other treatment methods
  6. Cuff tear arthroplasty
    This is a single use implant for use with cemented or uncemented humeral components. It is intended for use with Biomet's humeral components previously cleared by the FDA.
Device Description

The Biomet® Bi-Polar Shoulder Prosthesis is a self-retaining humeral shell that can be used with either the Bi-Angular® humeral prosthesis or the Bio-Modular® humeral prosthesis. In assembling, the liner is place over a modular inner head that is already impacted to an implanted humeral stem. The shell is then placed over the liner and the Ring-Loc lock ring snaps into the outer groove of the liner, which completes assembly of the prosthesis. The shell is available in six spherical diameters, 40 mm, 48 mm, 52 mm, 56 mm and 60 mm. The liner and Ring-Loc® locking ring are modular, i.e. there is only one size of each, and each is used with all six shell sizes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device submission (K002998) for the Biomet® Bi-Polar Shoulder System. However, it does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets those criteria.

The document is primarily a Notice of Substantial Equivalence from the FDA, indicating that the device is substantially equivalent to a previously marketed predicate device (Biomet® Bi-Polar Shoulder, K991585). This type of FDA clearance (510(k)) focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trials to establish efficacy and safety from scratch.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The text does not elaborate on:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: No such criteria or performance data are presented.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: No test set or corresponding data is described.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... and their qualifications: No ground truth establishment is detailed.
  4. Adjudication method: Not applicable as no ground truth establishment is described.
  5. Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: No such study is mentioned.
  6. Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance): This device is a physical shoulder prosthesis, not an algorithm, so this is not applicable.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable as no ground truth assessment is described.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable as this is a physical device, not an AI/ML algorithm requiring a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

The document mainly focuses on:

  • Sponsor and contact information.
  • Device name and classification.
  • Intended use and device description.
  • Potential risks associated with the device (general risks for joint replacement).
  • Identification of the predicate device.
  • The FDA's official letter of substantial equivalence.
  • The Indications for Use statement.

Dear Ms. Bickel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
