Intended Use

The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System is intended as a hemi shoulder replacement in patients where the humeral head and neck are of sufficient bone stock and the rotator cuff is intact or reconstructable. This device will increase shoulder mobility by reducing pain, restoring alignment, restoring flexion and extension movement, and resisting dislocation.

The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints disabled by

  • Rheumatoid arthritis with pain 1.
    1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis)
    1. Correction of functional deformity
    1. Fractures of the humeral head
    1. Traumatic arthritis.

These components are single use only and are intended for cementless use.

Device Description

The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System is a series of humeral heads that are designed to articulate with a resurfaced or non-resurfaced Glenoid fossa. The proposed humeral heads are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy (ASTM F-75) and can be used as either a left or right configuration. The interior surface of the proposed Axiom components contains a pattern of buttressed protrusions that help restrict rotation of the device. In addition to the buttressed protrusion pattern, the interior surface is coated with a plasma spray titanium substrate and a calcium phosphate coating (ASTM 1044 and ASTM 1147, respectively). The proposed humeral heads have been designed to mimic the normal humeral head geometry by employing a non-spherical accurate shape. The shape of the humeral heads does not exceed the radius of curvature of the reamed Glenoid fossa. This helps to maintain contact between the humeral head and the Glenoid fossa throughout the range of motion. The humeral heads are available in 14 sizes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the "Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System," which is a medical device for hemi shoulder replacement. The "study" mentioned here is essentially a performance testing in the form of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This is not equivalent to a clinical study with human or animal subjects, but rather an engineering simulation.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Material Strength (Minimum Factor of Safety)Factor of Safety: Ranges from 2.6 to 2.1 (for a material strength of 450 MPa).
Maximum Tensile Von-Mises Keel StressRanges from 170 to 219 MPa.
Compliance with StandardsComplies with ASTM F-75 (cobalt-chromium alloy), F 1044-95, F 1147-99, and F 1160 05.
BiocompatibilityStated that the device is made of biocompatible materials.
Functional SimilarityDesigned to mimic normal humeral head geometry; fixation features to resist rotation are similar in principle to predicate devices.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The "test set" for the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) involved analyzing three sizes of the humeral head system: the smallest, the middle, and the largest.
  • Data Provenance: The data is simulated data generated from a Finite Element Analysis, not from human or animal subjects. Therefore, there is no country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature in the traditional sense. It's a computational study.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. For a Finite Element Analysis, the "ground truth" is derived from engineering principles, material properties (e.g., ASTM F-75 material strength of 450 MPa), and simulated load conditions (752 N). There's no mention of human experts establishing a ground truth for the results of this specific engineering analysis in the provided text.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. Since this is an engineering simulation, there is no adjudication method in the context of expert review of clinical cases. The results are based on the FEA model and calculations, which are then compared against predefined engineering acceptance criteria (e.g., factor of safety, stress limits).

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. This device is a physical orthopedic implant. The provided document describes engineering performance testing (FEA) and regulatory substantial equivalence, not a study evaluating human reader performance with or without AI assistance. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic imaging AI, not for orthopedic implants.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Yes, in a way. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a standalone simulation of the device's mechanical performance under specific load conditions. It does not involve human interaction or "human-in-the-loop" performance in the context of the device's function or evaluation during the simulation itself. The simulation is a computational assessment of the device's mechanical integrity.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the FEA is based on:

  • Engineering Principles and Material Properties: The stress and factor of safety calculations are derived from fundamental physics, mechanics of materials, and the specified properties of the cobalt-chromium alloy (ASTM F-75, with a material strength of 450 MPa).
  • Simulated Load Conditions: A simulated 752 N load was applied, representing a defined biomechanical scenario.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a simulation method that does not involve a "training set" in the machine learning sense. The model is built based on the device's design, material properties, and simulated boundary conditions, not "trained" on data.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in this context. The "ground truth" for the model itself (i.e., the accuracy of the FEA simulation) would generally be established by validation against physical testing of similar designs or theoretical derivations, though no such validation against "ground truth" for the FEA model is explicitly mentioned in the provided text (only the results of the FEA are reported and compared to material strength).

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System is a series of humeral heads that are designed to articulate with a resurfaced or non-resurfaced Glenoid fossa. The proposed humeral heads are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy (ASTM F-75) and can be used as either a left or right configuration. The interior surface of the proposed Axiom components contains a pattern of buttressed protrusions that help restrict rotation of the device. In addition to the buttressed protrusion pattern, the interior surface is coated with a plasma spray titanium substrate and a calcium phosphate coating (ASTM 1044 and ASTM 1147, respectively).

The proposed humeral heads have been designed to mimic the normal humeral head geometry by employing a non-spherical accurate shape. The shape of the humeral heads does not exceed the radius of curvature of the reamed Glenoid fossa. This helps to maintain contact between the humeral head and the Glenoid fossa throughout the range of motion. The humeral heads are available in 14 sizes.

INTENDED USE 5.

The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System is intended as a hemi shoulder replacement in patients where the humeral head and neck are of sufficient bone stock and the rotator cuff is intact or reconstructable. This device will increase shoulder mobility by: reducing pain; restoring alignment; restoring flexion and extension movement; and resisting dislocation.

The Axiom Shoulder Resurfacing System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints disabled by

  • . Rheumatoid arthritis with pa 1
  • Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. osteoarthritis and avascular . necrosis)
  • Correction of functional defermity .
  • Fractures of the humeral head .
  • . Traumatic arthritis.

These components are single use only and are intended for cementless use.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

The proposed Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System, the Depuy Global CAP Resurfacing Replacement Shoulder and the Biomet Copeland Resurfacing Humeral Heads are all identical in that they all consist of humeral heads manufactured from cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy that are indicated for uncemented use only. Both the proposed product and the predicate devices are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy that comply with ASTM F75. The interior surface of both the proposed and predicate device components contain a calcium phosphate coating for cementless use. Both the proposed and predicate devices are cementless humeral replacement systems that require minimal bone resection.

Both the proposed product and the predicate devices have been designed to mimic the normal humeral head geometry. The Depuy predicate devices are available in diameters of 40, 44, 48, 52 and 56mm, all available with head heights of 15mm (short), 18mm (medium) or 2 1mm (large), and the proposed Axiom product will be available in diameters of 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, and 62 mm with varying thicknesses from 14mm - 24mm.

The only differences between the Axiom device and the predicate devices are that the predicate device includes grooves in the stemmed part of the prosthesis to resist rotation whereas the Axiom device in:ludes fixation features on the inner surface as well as the stemmed part of the head to resist rotation. Additionally, the Depuy predicate device uses a standard spherical method for their articulating surface whereas the proposed device incorporates an elliptical method. These differences do not affect safety or effectiveness of the device since the Axiom device is made of biocompatible materials and is designed similarly to the predicate devices to resist rotation.

7. PERFORMANCE TESTING

A finite element analysis of humeral head loading under a simulated 752 N load was performed to determine the acceptability of the proposed product. The analysis was performed to ensure an acceptable factor of safety with respect to the component material properties, as specified by A.STM F-75. The sizes analyzed represented the smallest, the middle and the largest stzes of the system. The results of this analysis showed that the maximum tensile Von-Mises Keel stress for all of the sizes studied ranges from 170 to 219 MPa. For the given stresses, the factor of safety with respect to the material strength (450 Mpa) ranges from 2.6 to 2.1. The result of this load distribution will be much lower stresses resulting in a higher factor of safety for the Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System. The Axiom Orthopaedics Shoulder Resurfacing System components comply with the applicable requirements of the following standards

  • F 1044-95, "Standard Test Method for Shear Testing of Porous Metal . Coatings"
  • F 1147-99, "Standard Test Method for Tension Testing of Calcium Phosphate . and Metallic Coatings"
