The summary describes a physical implant (glenosphere) and its intended use in shoulder replacement systems. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for "relief of pain and to improve function in patients with a massive and non-repairable rotator cuff tear," which are therapeutic goals.
No
Explanation: This device is an orthopedic implant for shoulder replacement, intended for treatment of severe shoulder conditions. It is not used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical component (a glenosphere) for a shoulder replacement system, made of titanium nitride coated cobalt chromium molybdenum. It is not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for total shoulder arthroplasty to relieve pain and improve function in patients with specific shoulder conditions. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a component (glenosphere) for a shoulder replacement system. This is a physical implant used within the body.
- Lack of Diagnostic Language: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing information for diagnosis.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are non-clinical tests related to the physical properties and biocompatibility of the implant (wear testing, mechanical testing, biocompatibility). These are typical for surgical implants, not IVDs.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Technologies / Substantial Equivalence
The Humelock TiN Coated Glenosphere is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate in that it is identical to the primary predicate on indications, design, dimensions, packaging, single use, sterilization, shelf life, pyrogen testing, biocompatibility, compatible components, instrumentation and surgical technique. It is identical to the primary predicate material CoCr. The change, subject of this 510(k), is to add the titanium nitride (TiN) coating to the surface of the glenosphere, which is substantially equivalent to the technology of coating on the reference device based upon the characterization and testing in accordance with the same scientific methods and standards. Differences between the subject device and the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Non-Clinical Testing
Biocompatibility testing has been completed in accordance with FDA Guidance titled, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk manaqement process" (September 2016).Non-clinical biocompatibility testing is the same as the reference device and includes Acute System Toxicity Study: Cytotoxicity Study: GC/MS Fingerprint Study: Irritation Study: Sensitization Study. Characterization of the TiN coating demonstrates substantial equivalence of the subject device to the coating of the reference device - Bone Implantation Study, 28 Day Muscle Implantation Study: 90Day Muscle Implantation Study are referenced for the subject device. Wear testing under worst case loading and worst case environment with analysis of surface roughness and both UHMWPE and metal particle analysis have been completed.
Mechanical testing for the complete system was previously submitted with the cleared predicate device.
Clinical Testing
Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence of the Humelock TiN Coated Glenosphere to the predicate devices.
Conclusion
The subject device is identical to the primary predicate with the only modification of added TiN coating. The evidence reviewed to demonstrate substantial equivalence includes risk analysis, design controls, biocompatibility, wear properties of the TIN coating, and verification and validation activities to demonstrate that the TiN coating does not increase risk and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness of the Humelock TiN Coated Glenosphere.
