Intended Use
The Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints for patients with a functional deltoid muscle and with massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear with pain disabled by: - Rheumatoid arthritis - Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis) - Correction of functional deformity - Fractures of the humeral head - Traumatic arthritis - Revision of the devices if sufficient bone stock remains The Reverse Metaphysis and Assembly Screw or the Reverse Metaphysis, Reverse Spacer, and Reverse Spacer Assembly Screw are indicated for use as components of the Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse total shoulder replacement and for transformation of the Aequalis Ascend Anatomic shoulder into a reverse shoulder prosthesis without the removal of the Diaphyseal stem during revision surgery for patients with a functional deltoid muscle. The components are permitted to be used in the transformation from anatomic to reverse if: - The Diaphyseal stem is well fixed - The patient has a functional deltoid muscle - The arthronathy is associated with a massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear. Notes: - All components are single use - The humeral stem is intended for cemented or cementless use - The glenoid implant is anchored to the bone with 4 screws and is for non-cemented fixation.
Device Description
The Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Shoulder system is a modular Reverse version of the Aequalis Ascend Modular Anatomic Shoulder System (K102924) with Reverse adapters. The Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Shoulder system is supplied in separate sterile packages which will be assembled in the operating room. The components provided will be: - The Modular Reverse Metaphysis and Modular Reverse Assembly Screw. - The Modular Reverse Inserts - The Modular Reverse Angled Inserts - An optional Modular Reverse Spacer and Modular Reverse Spacer Assembly Screw can be used when maximum insert thickness does not achieve sufficient tension. - When the Modular Reverse Spacer is implanted, the Modular Reverse Spacer Assembly Screw will be used in place of the Modular Reverse Assembly Screw. Primary Reverse Shoulder: The Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Metaphysis and Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Assembly Screw will mate with the existing; FDA cleared Tornier Aequalis Ascend Modular Anatomic Distal Stem (K102924) which when assembled together with the Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Insert form complete reverse prostheses. The reverse assembly must be used in association with the Aequalis Reversed or Aequalis Reversed II glenoid implants (K081059). Conversion Reverse Shoulder: The Aequalis Ascend Reverse Metaphysis and Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Assembly Screw are designed to allow the transformation of the Aequalis Ascend Anatomic shoulder (K102924) into an Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Shoulder without removal of the Diaphyseal Stem if the stem is well fixed during revision surgery. The Aequalis Ascend Reverse Metaphysis is a metal component aimed to articulate as a reverse prosthesis with a specific polyethylene insert. The metal metaphysis is impacted onto the taper of the Diaphyseal Stem and then secured with the Ascend Modular Reverse Assembly Screw. The screw is tightened until it is firmly seated on the Reverse Metaphysis. A Reverse Spacer can be used when the maximum insert thickness does not achieve sufficient tension. During these situations, after impaction of the Reverse Metaphysis on the Diaphyseal stem, the metal spacer is impacted on the taper of the Reverse Metaphysis and then secured with the Ascend Modular Reverse Spacer Assembly Screw. The screw is tightened until it is firmly seated on the Reverse Spacer.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and substantial equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints for patients with various conditions, directly addressing and treating a medical condition.

No

This device is a surgical implant designed to replace shoulder joints. Its described use is limited to treatment (replacement of joints) and does not involve diagnosing medical conditions, diseases, or abnormalities.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like the Modular Reverse Metaphysis, Modular Reverse Assembly Screw, Modular Reverse Inserts, etc., which are assembled and implanted in the operating room. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Aequalis Ascend Modular Reverse Shoulder System is a surgical implant designed to replace a damaged shoulder joint. It is used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended use do not mention any analysis of biological specimens. The device itself is the therapeutic intervention.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or prosthesis, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
