Device Description
The modifications proposed by this submission describe minor geometry changes to the standard offering of Equinoxe glenospheres, glenoid plates, and compression screws; these geometry modifications are the entire basis for proposed Reverse Shoulder line extensions (expanded offset glenospheres, posterior and superior augmented glenoid plates, +10mm extended cage glenoid plate, and longer compression screws). All proposed components are designed to interface and articulate with the Equinoxe Shoulder system and are supplied sterile.

No
The document describes a mechanical shoulder implant system and its components. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on mechanical and geometric analyses, not data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is an orthopedic implant (shoulder system) intended to treat degenerative diseases, fractures, and other pathologies of the glenohumeral joint, which directly addresses the management of a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is an orthopedic implant (shoulder system) used for treatment of joint diseases and fractures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe physical implants (glenospheres, glenoid plates, compression screws, humeral stems, humeral heads) used in shoulder arthroplasty, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for treating degenerative diseases and fractures of the glenohumeral joint. This involves physical intervention within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a shoulder system with components like humeral stems, glenoids, and humeral heads, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

The device is a surgical implant used for arthroplasty (joint replacement), which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

  • Materials. Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder line extensions and predicate . devices are composed of equivalent materials conforming to recognized industry standards for permanent implants.
  • Dimensions. Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder line extensions and predicate ● devices are available in equivalent size ranges.
  • Sterilization processes. Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder line extensions and ● predicate devices are provided sterile for single use and conform to recognized industry standards.
  • Performance specifications. Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder line . extensions and predicate devices withstand clinically relevant biomechanical loads.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

Mechanical tests, simulated-use tests, engineering analyses, and a clinical literature summary demonstrate the proposed Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder line extensions are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. A summary of these tests and analyses are as follows:

  • Cadaver lab validation demonstrating the design features. ●
  • Geometric computer analysis to evaluate the relationship between the reverse ● shoulder design parameters and ROM, impingement, and stability.
  • Dynamic test at worst case physiological load in a polyurethane bone substitute in . order to evaluate initial fixation, loosening, and disassociation.
