Device Description
For the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System: The usual goal of total shoulder replacement and hemi-arthroplasty of the shoulder is to restore the shoulder joint to its best working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended to accomplish these goals. With the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System, the natural glenoid elements of the shoulder may be conserved or replaced as warranted by the state of disease or injury. Thus the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended for use as a total shoulder replacement system, or as a hemi-shoulder. The modular nature of the system allows for the later conversion of a primary hemi-arthroplasty to a total shoulder replacement. For the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis: The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-lear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-lear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. infraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (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 Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm. The Acqualis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts. For the Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis: The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to be used to relieve pain or significant disability following massive cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator nuscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility and only the deltoid (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 Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder. lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm and its Aequalis Fracture Shoulder humeral stemlike design allows to facilitate the bone reconstruction and improve the tuberosity healing and fixation. The Acqualis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts. For the Aequalis Resurfacing Head: The Aequalis Resurfacing Head is a humeral head resurfacing device. It requires less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it much more conservative than total joint implants. Revision or arthrodesis can be undertaken easily because the bone stock has been maintained with no loss of length. The main advantages of humeral head resurfacing are preservation of bone and the relatively simple surgical technique. With the Aequalis Resurfacing Head the natural glenoid elements of the shoulder may be conserved or replaced as warranted by the state of disease or injury. The present submission corresponds to the following modification: - Addition of a new coating subcontractor (hydroxylapatite coating and titanium + hydroxylapatite coating): Eurocoating S.p.A on cobalt chromium and titanium components. All the prostheses of this application are strictly identical to the previously cleared devices except for the coating supplier. The indications for use of each device are not modified.

No
The document describes a shoulder prosthesis system and its intended uses, focusing on the physical components and surgical procedures. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The submission is for a modification related to a coating subcontractor, not a change in functionality or technology.

Yes
The device is a prosthetic replacement indicated to relieve severe pain or significant disability caused by various degenerative pathologies, fractures, or failed previous treatments. The stated goal for all included devices in the description is to "restore the shoulder joint to its best working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain", which directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is a prosthetic implant (shoulder replacement system) intended to relieve pain and disability, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is to replace damaged anatomical structures.

No

The device description clearly indicates that this submission is for physical shoulder prostheses (implants) and their coatings, not software.

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 taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The text clearly describes the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System and related devices as prosthetic replacements for the shoulder joint. These are implanted devices used to restore function and relieve pain in the shoulder.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to replace damaged or diseased parts of the shoulder joint due to various conditions like fractures, arthritis, and necrosis. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a medical device, specifically a prosthetic implant, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical testing (shear fatigue strength, static shear strength test, static tensile strength and abrasion) and coating characterization (thickness, pore size and pore volume) were performed on the coating to determinate substantial equivalence.

The design, the material, the sizes, the method of fixation and the sterilization process are identical for devices whatever the coating subcontractor is.

The results of this evaluation allow us to conclude that the proposed new coating subcontractor Eurocoating S.p.A described in this submission does not induce any new or higher risk compared to the predicate coating subcontractor BioCoat Company and therefore both coating subcontractors (proposed and predicate) are substantially equivalent.

When in case of revision of an 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 hemiprosthesis 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.

Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis

The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated for patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain or significant disability following arthropathy associated to a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint:

  • in case of traumatic or pathologic conditions of the shoulder resulting in fracture of the glenohumeral joint, including humeral head fracture and displaced 3-or 4-part proximal humeral fractures, or
  • in case of bone defect in proximal humerus.

The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is also indicated for prosthetic revisions with a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint when other treatments or devices have failed.

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 hemiprosthesis adaptor and the union screw can be adapted to the humeral components in order to transform the Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis into a non reversed hemi-prosthesis.

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

The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder humeral stem is used in association with the glenoid components of the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis.

The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder humeral stem is for cemented use only.

7) Device description

For the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System:

The usual goal of total shoulder replacement and hemi-arthroplasty of the shoulder is to restore the shoulder joint to its best working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended to accomplish these goals. With the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System, the natural glenoid elements of the shoulder may be conserved or replaced as warranted by the state of disease or injury. Thus the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended for use as a total shoulder replacement system, or as a hemi-shoulder. The modular nature of the system allows for the later conversion of a primary hemi-arthroplasty to a total shoulder replacement.

For the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis:

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-lear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-lear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. infraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (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 Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.

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

For the Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis:

The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to be used to relieve pain or significant disability following massive cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator nuscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility and only the deltoid (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 Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder. lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm and its Aequalis Fracture Shoulder humeral stemlike design allows to facilitate the bone reconstruction and improve the tuberosity healing and fixation. The Acqualis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.

For the Aequalis Resurfacing Head:

The Aequalis Resurfacing Head is a humeral head resurfacing device. It requires less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it much more conservative than total joint implants. Revision or arthrodesis can be undertaken easily because the bone stock has been maintained with no loss of

The indications for use, the other technical characteristics (design, materials, manufacturing, sizing, method of fixation) of the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System, the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosihesis, the Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosihesis and the Aequalis Resurfacing Head are identical to the predicate devices. The covered zones of the implants concerned remain the same ones

11) Non-clinical testing & Substantial equivalence conclusion

Non-clinical testing (shear fatigue strength, static shear strength test, static tensile strength and abrasion) and coating characterization (thickness, pore size and pore volume) were performed on the coating to determinate substantial equivalence.

The design, the material, the sizes, the method of fixation and the sterilization process are identical for devices whatever the coating subcontractor is.

The results of this evaluation allow us to conclude that the proposed new coating subcontractor Eurocoating S.p.A described in this submission does not induce any new or higher risk compared to the predicate coating subcontractor BioCoat Company and therefore both coating subcontractors (proposed and predicate) are substantially equivalent.
