Intended Use
The Cofield2 Total Shoulder System, the Neer II Total Shoulder System, and the Neer III Total Shoulder System are indicated for use as orthopaedic implants for the partial replacement of the human shoulder joint articulating either directly against the glenoid face or a compatible glenoid component, respectively. The Cofield2 Total Shoulder System, the Neer II Total Shoulder System, and the Neer III Total Shoulder System are intended for the following: Proximal Humeral Prosthesis - (1) complex, acute fractures or fracture-dislocations of the humeral head (e.g. trauma - three and four-part injuries in the Neer classification, or head splitting, or head impression fractures); (2) complex, chronic fractures or fracture-dislocations of the humeral head with malunion, nonunion of a small osteoporotic head fragment, or chronic dislocation with loss of humeral head cartilage, or large impression fractures; (3) avascular necrosis with intact glenoid cartilage; and (4) selected patients with arthritis who do not have adequate scapular bone to support a glenoid component or must engage in moderately heavy activities. Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (when used in conjunction with a compatible glenoid component) - severe destruction of the glenohumeral articular surfaces with intractable chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, cuff tear arthroplasty, ancient septic arthritis avascular necrosis with secondary glenoid changes, radiation necrosis, and other failed reconstructive procedures. The subject all poly glenoid components are intended for cemented fixation only and for single use only. The Orthopaedic Division of Smith & Nephew, Inc. will utilize the VHP® sterilization process to terminally sterilize all polyethylene glenoid components manufactured from UHMWPE material in the following product systems: - Cofield Total Shoulder System (all polyethylene glenoid components) . - Neer II Total Shoulder System (all polyethylene glenoid components) . - Neer III Total Shoulder System (all polyethylene glenoid components)
Device Description
There have been no changes in indications for use, design, or material property changes to any Cofield2, Neer II, or Neer III Total Shoulder System UHMWPE all polyethylene glenoid components that will be sterilized using the VHP® process. The VHP sterilization process uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor for sterilization of Coffeld2, Neer II, and Neer III Total Shoulder System components (all polyethylene glenoids) manufactured from UHMWPE using the Century SL VHP® Sterilizer. Sterilization is achieved by a series of H2O2 gas injections at deep vacuum set points. Aeration of the medical devices after sterilization is conducted by a series of chamber evacuations.

No
The document describes a total shoulder system and its sterilization process, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is described as an orthopaedic implant for the partial replacement of the human shoulder joint, intended for conditions like fractures, avascular necrosis, and arthritis, indicating a therapeutic purpose to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

Explanation: This device is an orthopedic implant (shoulder joint replacement system) used for surgical treatment, not for diagnosing conditions. The document describes its surgical indications and sterilization process.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe physical orthopedic implants (shoulder systems) and a sterilization process for those implants. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Cofield2, Neer II, and Neer III Total Shoulder Systems are "orthopaedic implants for the partial replacement of the human shoulder joint". This describes a surgical implant used in the body, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the components of the shoulder system (proximal humeral prosthesis, glenoid component) and the sterilization process used for these implants. This aligns with a surgical implant, not an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "human shoulder joint", which is an in-vivo location.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described relate to the effectiveness of the sterilization process for the implants, not the diagnostic performance of a test on biological samples. The key metric is Sterility Assurance Level (SAL), which is relevant to surgical implants.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a physical implant used to replace a joint.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Orthopaedic Division of Smith & Nephew, Inc. has conducted numerous tests as supporting evidence that the VHP® sterilization process is qualified for sterilization of all UHMWPE orthopaedic implants in the Coffeld', Neer II, and Neer III Total Shoulder Systems by demonstrating the following:

  • Microbicidal effectiveness of the vaporized hydrogen peroxide
  • The effects of the VHP® sterilization cycle on UHMWPE materials in which the . product is packaged
  • Process validation efforts to demonstrate that the VHP® sterilization process is effective and reproducible resulting in a SAL of at least 10-6

Test results demonstrated that the VHP® sterilization process is capable of terminally sterilizing UHMWPE orthopaedic implants and verifies achievement of a SAL of 10d. The VHP sterilization process was also demonstrated to be safe, reproducible, predictable and effective in sterilizing UHMWPE orthopaedic implants packaged and sealed in Tyvek®/Mylar® pouches.
