Intended Use
The hardware: The Aequalis Glenoid Guides are patient-specific drill guides. They have been specially designed to assist in the intraoperative positioning of glenoid components used with total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty procedures using anatomic landmarks that are identifiable on patient-specific preoperative CT-scans. Aequalis PerFORM Anatomic Glenoid Guide is used by surgeons to facilitate the placement of the Aequalis PerFORM glenoids. The software: The BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is a medical device for surgeon composed of one software component. It is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder orthopedic surgery. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software runs on standard personal and business computers running Microsoft Windows or Mac OS operating systems. The software supports DICOM standard to import the CT-Scan (Computed Tomography) images of the patient. Only CT-Scan modality can be loaded with BLUEPRINT 3D planning software. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software allows surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, and annotate anatomic data. It allows surgeon to design patient specific guides based on the presurgical plan. This device is intended for use provided anatomic reference points necessary for positioning of the guide are present on the CT scan. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a 3D file of the patient-specific guide. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software does not include any system to manufacture the guide. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for Diagnostic purpose.
Device Description
BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation is composed of two components: Aequalis Glenoid Guides (hardware) and BLUEPRINT 3D planning software (software). BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation which includes the Aequalis Glenoid Guides and BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is the responsibility of Tornier. Tornier is the legal manufacturer for the hardware and the software. The hardware: The Aequalis Glenoid Guides are patient-specific instruments specially designed to facilitate the implantation of the Aequalis PerFORM shoulder prostheses and are exclusively reserved for this use. The Aequalis Glenoid Guides are designed and manufactured based on a pre-operative plan generated only by the software BLUEPRINT™ 3D planning software. The software: BluePrint 3D Planning software is composed of one software component connected to an Online Management System (OMS). The software installed on a computer is intended to be used by orthopedic surgeons, as a preoperative planning software for shoulder arthroplasty surgery (= total anatomic shoulder replacement). It is intended to help to plan an operation by allowing surgeons to: position and select the glenoid implant, design a patient specific pin guide. This submission seeks clearance for: Hardware: a guide made of Titanium with an orientation hole which allows for controlling rotation of the commercially available implant, AequalisTM PerFORM. Software modified to: Integrate a guide made of titanium, Add a glenoid sphere radius measurement.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on surgeon-driven planning and guide generation based on CT scans and anatomical landmarks, not automated analysis or decision-making by the software.

No
The device, comprised of software for surgical planning and hardware (patient-specific drill guides), is intended to assist in surgical procedures (positioning glenoid components) but does not directly treat or restore the patient's health. It is a tool for surgical precision, not a therapy itself.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for Diagnostic purpose." This clearly indicates it is not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the "BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation is composed of two components: Aequalis Glenoid Guides (hardware) and BLUEPRINT 3D planning software (software)." It also mentions seeking clearance for the hardware component (a guide made of Titanium).

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: This device, BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation, is a pre-surgical planning system and patient-specific surgical guide for shoulder arthroplasty. It uses CT scans to create a plan and a physical guide to assist the surgeon during the procedure.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its input is imaging data (CT scans), and its output is a surgical plan and a physical guide.
  • Explicit Statement: The intended use explicitly states that the software "should not be used for Diagnostic purpose." While this refers to the software component, the overall system's function is not diagnostic in nature.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of surgical planning software and patient-specific surgical guides, not in vitro diagnostics.

11) Substantial equivalence conclusion

Based upon this comparative study, substantial equivalence of BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation to the predicates can be demonstrated on the following grounds, according to the FDA's Guidelines for Substantial Equivalence Decision making Process:

  • -BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (pending device) is compared to the predicate device and the reference device.
  • -BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (pending device) has the same intended use as the predicate device: BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (K143374).
  • BLUEPRINT 3D planning software (pending device) is equivalent to the BLUEPRINT -3D planning software (K143374).
  • -BLUEPRINT 3D planning software (pending device) user manual is similar in indications precautions, warnings, and instructions as the predicate device: (K143374).
  • -Major technological characteristics are equivalent between BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (pending device) and the predicate device:
    • Equivalence of general features -
    • -Equivalent surgical procedures
    • Equivalent intended use, indications for use
  • BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (pending device) is considered equivalent to the reference device Delta TT Acetabular System (K112898) in material.
  • -BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (pending device) differs from the predicate device BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (K143374) regarding two features: the orientation hole intended to help the surgeon to control the rotation of the commercially available implant, Aequalis™ PerFORM, and glenoid sphere radius measurement to facilitate choosing the implant Aequalis™ PerFORM. These differences do not, however, change the fundamental technology, principle of operation for the drill guide/software or intended use.

Therefore, in the light of the above information, the BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation is considered equivalent to the predicate devices
