No

The device description clearly states it is a system of physical components (humeral stem, head, glenoid, adapter, sphere, baseplate, screws) intended for surgical implantation as a shoulder joint replacement. It does not describe any software component.

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 and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System and Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis are implants designed to replace or revise shoulder joints. They are surgically implanted into the body to restore function and relieve pain.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

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

    IN REVERSE : The Aequalis Ascend Flex 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 reversed adapter is indicated for use as components of the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System total shoulder replacement and for transformation of the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System into a reverse shoulder prosthesis without the removal of the humeral 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 humeral stem is well fixed, the patient has a functional deltoid muscle; the arthropathy is associated with a massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear.

Notes:

  • All components are single use.
  • The coated humeral stem is intended for cemented or cementless use.
  • . The non-coated humeral stem is intended for cemented use only.
  • . All poly glenoid components are intended for cemented use only.
  • . The glenoid sphere implant is anchored to the bone with screws and is for non-cemented fixation.
  • Titanium humeral heads are intended for patients with suspected cobalt alloy material sensitivity. The wear properties of Titanium alloys are inferior to that of cobalt alloy. A Titanium humeral head is not recommended for patients who lack a suspected material sensitivity to cobalt alloy.

Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis :

Cemented Aequalis Reversed prosthesis :

It is indicated for patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated with the massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. This device is also indicated for the prosthetic revisions with massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. Only the humeral components are for cemented use. The glenoid implant is anchored to the bone with 4 screws and is for non-cemented fixation.

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 prosthesis into a non reversed hemi-prosthesis.

Implants Chirurgicaux

When, in case of revision of a 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.

Uncemented Aequalis Reversed prosthesis:

It is indicated for patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated to massive and non repairable rotator cufftear. This device is also indicated for the prosthetic revisions with massive and non repairable rotator cufftear. The humeral components are for uncemented use. The glenoid implant is anchored to the bone with 4 screws and is for non-cemented fixation.

When during the primary surgery the glenoid stock appears to be insufficient to bear the reversed glenoid components or when glenoid bone fracture occurs during the surgical procedures, the hemi-prosthesis adaptor and the union screw can be adapted to the humeral components in order to transform the Aequalis Reversed prosthesis in to a non reversed hemi-prosthesis.

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.

Note:

  • Titanium glenoid spheres are intended for patients with suspected cobalt alloy material sensitivity. The wear properties of Titanium alloys are inferior to that of cobalt alloy. A Titanium glenoid sphere is not recommended for patients who lack a suspected material sensitivity to cobalt alloy.
