(180 days)
The Indications for Use of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder are:
- Osteoarthritis;
- Posttraumatic arthrosis;
- Focal avascular necrosis of the humeral head;
- Previous surgeries of the shoulder that do not compromise the fixation.
The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder components (Anchors and Humeral Heads) are intended for cementless use.
The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder is a modular humeral component (consisting of a humeral anchor and a head) designed to be used as a total- shoulder arthroplasty long- term implant. Both humeral anchor and humeral head components are available in multiple sizes. The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder replaces the proximal humeral bone, including the articulating surface, using an anatomical reconstruction surgical technique philosophy. The Sidus Stem-Free humeral anchor fixes within the proximal humeral bone via an uncemented interference press-fit. The Sidus Stem-Free humeral head mates to the Sidus Stem-Free humeral anchor via a Morse taper with the male taper on the humeral anchor and female taper on the humeral head.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder, extracted from the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Composite Clinical Success at 2 years) | Reported Device Performance (Sidus IDE Trial) |
|---|---|
| ASES overall score improvement of at least 30 points from baseline. | 98.5% of Sidus IDE patients had over a 30-point improvement on the ASES score from preoperative. |
| Radiographic success defined as: | 98.5% of patients completing two-year visits successfully passed the radiographic success criteria. |
| - No progressive radiolucencies of the humeral component > 2 mm | Met (included in overall radiographic success). |
| - No progressive migration or subsidence of the humeral component ≥ 5 mm | Met (included in overall radiographic success). |
| No device-related serious adverse events (SAE). | 27 adverse events were determined to be definitely, possibly, or uncertain in their relation to the investigational device. (This doesn't directly state "no SAEs", but rather categorizes reported SAEs.) |
| No reoperation or revision of the study implants. | 3 revisions were reported. |
| Overall Clinical Success Rate (Composite): | 93.0% |
Clinical Performance Goal for Comparison (Bigliani/Flatow historical control): 85.42% success rate. The Sidus IDE trial achieved 93.0% success, exceeding this goal.
Study Details
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance
- Test Set (Sidus IDE Trial):
- Sample Size: 71 subjects
- Data Provenance: United States and Canada (Multicenter Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Trial) - Prospective
- Test Set (Sidus PMCF Study):
- Sample Size: 43 subjects
- Data Provenance: Europe (Multicenter, Prospective, Non-Controlled Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Study (PMCF)) - Prospective
- Historical Control (Bigliani/Flatow):
- Sample Size: 48 subjects (for the specific success criteria comparison)
- Data Provenance: Implied retrospective (referred to as "historical control")
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set. The clinical success criteria (ASES score, radiographic evaluation, SAEs, revisions) inherently involve clinical assessments and potentially radiographic interpretations by healthcare professionals, but the formal process for establishing a "ground truth" by a panel of independent experts is not detailed.
4. Adjudication Method
The document does not specify an adjudication method (such as 2+1 or 3+1) for the test set evaluations. The success criteria are based on objective measures (ASES score improvement, specific radiographic criteria, occurrence of SAEs/revisions), which would typically be assessed by the treating physicians and study coordinators according to the study protocol.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. The clinical studies compare the device's performance against a historical control (Bigliani/Flatow shoulder) based on patient outcomes, not on readers' interpretations with or without AI assistance. The device in question is a medical implant, not an AI diagnostic tool.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. The device is a physical shoulder implant, not an algorithm. The performance evaluation focuses on the in-vivo clinical outcomes of the implant.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the clinical studies (Sidus IDE and PMCF) was based on a composite of:
- Clinical Outcomes/Patient Reported Outcomes: ASES overall score improvement.
- Radiographic Assessment: Evaluation of progressive radiolucencies and migration/subsidence of the humeral component.
- Safety Data: Occurrence of device-related serious adverse events.
- Intervention Data: Reoperation or revision of the study implants.
This combines objective measurements, physician assessments, and patient-reported data.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not mention a "training set" in the context of the clinical studies. This is expected as the device is a physical implant, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a separate training set. The non-clinical tests (FEA, mechanical testing) would have used internal design data and models, but these are not referred to as "training sets" in the typical ML sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no mention of a "training set" (in the machine learning context) for this physical implant device, the document does not describe how ground truth for a training set was established.

Clinical Tests: ●
A Multicenter Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Trial of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder Investigational was conducted in the United States and Canada to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder. The results of this clinical study were compared to a Clinical Performance Goal using the stemmed Bigliani/Flatow prosthesis (Sidus IDE historical control). The Clinical Performance Goal for was established at 85.42% based on the historical performance of the Bigliani/Flatow Shoulder. The exact binomial confidence interval of the estimate is 72.24%. 93.93% (lower bound, upper bound).
{8}------------------------------------------------
To be considered a success, a Sidus subject must meet the following composite clinical success criteria at 2 years:
- ASES overall score improvement of at least 30 트 points from baseline.
- . Radiographic success defined as:
- . No progressive radiolucencies of the humeral component > 2 mm, and
- No progressive migration or subsidence of . the humeral component ≥ 5 mm.
- l No device-related serious adverse events (SAE).
- I No reoperation or revision of the study implants.
93.0% of subjects included in the Sidus IDE analysis were considered a success based on the above criteria. In comparison, 85.4% of the Bigliani/Flatow historical control were considered a success based on the same criteria.
| Study | Sample Size | N of Success | No of Failure | Percent of Success (PS) | 95% Exact CI of PS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sidus IDE | 71 | 66 | 5 | 93.0% | (84.3%, 97.7%) |
| Historica l Control | 48 | 41 | 7 | 85.4% | (72.24%, 93.93) |
In addition, 98.5% of Sidus IDE patients have over a 30 point improvement on the ASES score from preoperative. The study yielded excellent survivorship with 95.8% surviving. 98.5% of patients completing two year visits successfully passed the radiographic success criteria with no progressive radiolucencies of the humeral component >2 mm and no migration or subsidence of the humeral component. Three adverse events resulted in revision of the components and subsequent failure of the device.
In comparison, 91.7% of historical control patients have over a 30 point improvement on the ASES score from preoperative. The control yielded excellent survivorship with 97.9% surviving. 100% of patients exhibited radiographic success. 10.4% of patients experienced serious device related adverse events.
{9}------------------------------------------------
A total of 163 adverse events were reported in the Sidus IDE. 27 of those adverse events were determined to be definitely, possibly, or uncertain in their relation to the investigational device. Of these events, three revisions were reported. The first patient was revised by a non-study surgeon due to probable rotator cuff tear and possible loosening of the implants 7 months post-operatively. The non-study surgeon reported the subscapularis was possibly impinged between the head and anchor during the original implantation and was potentially the cause of the head not properly seating. The second revision occurred in a patient due to an acute subscapularis rupture 6 months postoperatively. The head and anchor were removed. The third revision included a patient who slipped on his garage floor 5 days post-operatively and fell with an outstretched arm resulting in a tear of the supraspinatous which was subsequently surgically repaired. The patient improved, but elected to proceed with shoulder revision surgery with a non-study surgeon. The operative report of the revising surgeon did not note any rotator cuff injury, infection or loose implants.
In comparison, the historical control study reported 5 serious adverse events probably related to the device. These events included glenoid loosening, rotator cuff tear, deep vein thrombosis leading to pulmonary embolism, superior migration of the humeral head leading to articulation with the acromion after lifting an 8 lb. weight and pain located at the anterior aspect of the shoulder requiring a second surgery.
A second Sidus study was conducted in Europe, Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder: A Multicenter, Prospective, Non-Controlled Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Study (PMCF), to further confirm performance of the device. When measuring PMCF subjects against the same Clinical Performance Goal, 88.4% of subjects were considered a success.

| Size | Success | Failure | ofSuccess(PS) | ExactCI ofPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43 | 38 | 5 | 88.4% | (74.9%.96.1%) |
Thirteen adverse events were reported in the PMCF study. Adverse events were classified as not related, definitely related, possibly related, or unknown in their relation to the device. One event was categorized as an adverse device effect and included subluxation in the cranial direction due to insufficiency/rupture of the pectoralis major tendon. A second event occurred which included revision. This subject suffered a serious adverse event approximately 3.5 months after implantation which included a tear of the superior cuff and subsequent upward migration of the humeral head with pseudoparalysis. This resulted in device removal and subsequent revision of the study components.
Considering the performance data gathered during the Sidus IDE for the Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder, evidence suggests that it will perform equal or better than the currently marked Bigliani/Flatow stemmed shoulder for the intended use. This data was further supplemented by the evidence collected during the Sidus PMCF study.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder has the same intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the cleared Simpliciti Shoulder System and Bigliani/Flatow Shoulder System. Based on the clinical and non-clinical data presented for the subject and predicate devices, Zimmer GmbH concludes that subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
