Intended Use
The Equinoxe Shoulder System is indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint where total or hemi- arthroplasty is determined by the surgeon to be the preferred method of treatment. - The cemented primary humeral stem, long/revision stems and all Equinoxe glenoids are intended for cemented fixation. - The press-fit humeral stems are intended for press-fit applications but may be used with bone cement at the discretion the surgeon. - The reverse humeral components are intended to be used in cemented applications or in revision cases when the humeral component is well-fixed/stable, as deemed by the orthopaedic surgeon. - Humeral Heads are intended for use in cemented and press-fit applications. Clinical indications for the PRIMARY (P), LONG/REVISION (L), and FRACTURE (F) humeral components are as follows: | P | L | F | Indications | |---|---|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | √ | √ | | Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis or post-traumatic degenerative problems | | √ | √ | | Congenital abnormalities in the skeletally mature | | √ | | | Primary and secondary necrosis of the humeral head. | | √ | | √ | Humeral head fracture with displacement of the tuberosities | | √ | √ | | Pathologies where arthrodesis or resectional arthroplasty of the humeral head are not acceptable | | √ | √ | | Revisions of humeral prostheses when other treatments or devices have failed (where adequate fixation can be achieved) | | | | √ | Displaced three-part and four-part upper humeral fractures | | | | | Spiral and other fractures of the mid-humerus (in combination with glenohumeral degenerative diseases) | | | √ | | Revision of failed previous reconstructions when distal anchorage is required | | √ | √ | | To restore mobility from previous procedures (e.g. previous fusion) | The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative diseases of the glenohumeral joint and a grossly deficient, irreparable rotator cuff.

Device Description
This submission proposes modifying the Exactech Equinoxe Replicator Plates and Fixed Angled Replicator Plates cleared under 510(k) #K042021 and #K102951. The proposed modifications are as follows: - 1. The proposed replicator plates and the fixed angled replicator plates will attach to the humeral head using a morse taper that is half the height of the morse taper of the anatomic replicator plates and fixed angled replicator plates cleared in 510(k) #K042021 and 510(k) #K102951. The proposed Exactech Equinoxe Replicator Plates, and Fixed Angled Replicator Plates are intended to be used with the same Equinoxe Shoulder system components described in 510(k). #K042021 and #K102951 as cited predicates.
More Information

No
The document describes a modification to existing shoulder system components and does not mention any AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is a shoulder system indicated for use in individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint, which aims to treat and restore function, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that the Equinoxe Shoulder System is an implant used for arthroplasty (surgical replacement of a joint) in individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly indicates modifications to physical components (replicator plates) of a shoulder implant system, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, 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 is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a shoulder system including humeral stems, glenoids, humeral heads, and replicator plates. These are all components of a surgical implant.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used within the body (glenohumeral joint, humerus). IVDs are used to examine samples from the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described (humeral head pull-off, cadaveric validation) are related to the mechanical and surgical performance of the implant, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is a surgical implant used to replace or repair a joint.
