Intended Use

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated for patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated to massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. This device is also indicated for the prosthetic revisions with massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. Only the humeral components are for cemented use. The glenoid implant is anchored to the bone with 4 screws and is for non-cemented fixation.

When during the primary surgery the glenoid bone stock appears to be insufficient to bear the reversed glenoid components or when glenoid bone fracture occurs during the surgical procedures, the hemi-prosthesis adaptor and the union screw can be adapted to the humeral components in order to transform the Aequalis Reversed prosthesis in to a non reversed hemi-prosthesis.

When, in case of revision of a Aequalis Reversed prosthesis, the glenoid bone stock appears to be insufficient to again implant a base plate and a sphere of Aequalis Reversed range, the use of the hemi-prosthesis adaptor and the union screw allows for the transformation of the Aequalis Reversed prosthesis in to a non reversed hemi-prosthesis in order to avoid the revision of the humeral components.

Device Description

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the dettoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional. Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition And to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aegualis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Is reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.

The present device modification submission consists in the following changes:

1ª change: addition of components in order to have the possibility to use multidirectional screws with the glenoid baseplate

2 types of components are added to the components of the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder prosthesis:

  • Multidirectional screws in various length, l
  • Specific glenoid baseplate for multidirectional screws.
  • 244 change: addition of "fish-scales" on the peg of the humeral insert
  • 314 change: modification of packaging of polyethylene components

The indications for use already covered by the previous 510(k) clearance are not modified.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the "AEQUALIS Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis". This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices rather than presenting a study with acceptance criteria and device performance evaluation in the typical sense of a clinical trial or performance study for a new, novel device.

Therefore, the information requested about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, and comparative effectiveness studies is not available within this type of regulatory submission.

Here's why and what information is present:

  • 510(k) Premarket Notification: This is a regulatory pathway used to demonstrate that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed predicate device. The primary goal is to show that the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate, or if there are differences, that those differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
  • Focus on Equivalence: The document lists the predicate devices (K030941, K041873, K952928, K991585, K021478) and outlines modifications to an already cleared device (addition of multidirectional screws, "fish-scales" on the humeral insert peg, and packaging modifications). The safety and effectiveness are largely inferred from the predicate devices and the nature of the minor modifications.
  • Lack of Performance Study Details: A 510(k) submission typically does not include extensive clinical studies or performance data comparing the device against specific acceptance criteria for efficacy or diagnostic performance, especially for modifications to an existing, cleared device like this one. Such studies are more common for novel devices or those requiring a PMA (Premarket Approval).

Information that CAN be extracted:

  1. Device Name: AEQUALIS Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis
  2. Regulatory Pathway: Special 510(k)
  3. Indications for Use: For patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated with massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear, and for prosthetic revisions with massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear.
  4. Device Description (Changes):
    • Addition of components for multidirectional screws with the glenoid baseplate.
    • Addition of "fish-scales" on the peg of the humeral insert.
    • Modification of polyethylene component packaging.
  5. Materials: UHMWPE, Titanium alloy.

Conclusion:

Based on the provided document, which is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for a medical device (specifically an orthopedic implant modification), the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific performance studies, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies is not present. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting de novo clinical or performance study data against defined acceptance criteria.

(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)
