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. The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder is also indicated for a failed glenohumeral joint replacement with loss of rotator cuff function resulting in superior migration of the humeral head.
The Exactech Equinoxe Small Reverse Shoulder is a subsystem of the Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System which provides small reverse glenoid plates, small reverse glenospheres, screw components, humeral liners, and surgical instrumentation for use in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. The modifications proposed by this submission describe minor geometry changes to the predicate Exactech Equinoxe Small Reverse Shoulder Glenospheres and Humeral Liners. As well as minor geometry modifications, this submission proposes Equinoxe Locking Cap compatibility with the Small Reverse Glenoid Plates and Small Reverse Glenospheres.
This document describes the Exactech Equinoxe Small Reverse Shoulder Glenospheres and Humeral Liners. The submission is a "Special 510(k)", which implies that minor changes have been made to a previously cleared device. Therefore, the "study" described focuses on demonstrating that these minor changes do not alter the substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Maintenance of mechanical and dimensional properties after minor geometry changes. | Engineering analyses (TM-2018-0755, TR-2018-0720, TM-2018-0523) demonstrated that the mechanical and dimensional properties of the modified glenospheres and humeral liners, as well as the compatibility with the Equinoxe Locking Cap, are maintained and within acceptable tolerances. These analyses provided justification for the internal bore modification, tolerance analysis, and undercut geometry update. |
| Sterility (Pyrogenicity) | Pyrogen testing (in accordance with USP <161>, USP <85>, and ANSI/AAMI ST72) confirmed that the proposed components meet recommended limits for devices labeled as sterile. |
| Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device | Based on the engineering analyses, the proposed devices (Small Reverse Glenosphere and Humeral Liner) were deemed substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate Equinoxe Small Reverse Glenosphere and Humeral Liner devices. This equivalence is supported by identical indications for use, intended use, device materials, design features, basic scientific technology, and implant/instrument compatibility. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the traditional sense of a clinical or in-vitro study with a distinct test set of data. The "test set" here refers to the specific design modifications and components that underwent engineering analysis and pyrogen testing.
- Data Provenance: The data provenance is internal to Exactech, Inc., as the tests and analyses were conducted by the manufacturer for their device modifications. The information is retrospective in terms of being generated to support the specific 510(k) submission for changes to an existing product. No external or prospective data is mentioned.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. This submission relies on engineering analyses and standardized pyrogen testing, not expert consensus on diagnostic images or clinical outcomes. The "ground truth" for the engineering analyses is based on established mechanical principles, material science, and design specifications. For pyrogen testing, the ground truth is defined by the standards (USP <161>, USP <85>, ANSI/AAMI ST72).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. No clinical or expert review adjudication was performed for these engineering and sterility tests. The evaluation is based on meeting pre-defined engineering tolerances and standard test limits.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is a submission for a modification to a medical device (implants), not an AI or diagnostic imaging device that would typically involve human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical implant for shoulder arthroplasty, not an algorithm or software. "Standalone" performance is not a relevant concept here.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used in this submission is based on:
- Engineering specifications and tolerances: for the mechanical and dimensional properties.
- Established industry standards: for pyrogen testing (USP <161>, USP <85>, ANSI/AAMI ST72).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for this type of device modification submission. Device design and engineering are not typically "trained" in the machine learning sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set.

Dear Zach Sharrah:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
