Intended Use
    1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis.
    1. Rheumatoid arthritis.
    1. Correction of functional deformity.
    1. Fractures of the proximal humerus, where other methods of treatment are deemed inadequate.
    1. Difficult clinical management problems, where other methods of treatment may not be inadequate.

Optional use in revision: in some medical conditions (e.g. revision when healthy and good bone stock exists), the surgeon may opt to use primary implants in a revision procedure.

The Alliance Monoblock glenoid components are indicated for cemented application only. The Alliance Modular Glenoid components are intended to be implanted with bone cement. The TM and porous posts may be inserted without bone cement.

Device Description

The Alliance Glenoid system is a series of glenoid components which includes previously cleared (K191814) monoblock glenoids with 2 or 3 pegs and modular glenoids with 3 or 4 pegs. In addition to the predicate neutral (flat) modular 4-pegged design, an augmented configuration for correction of glenoid bone defects is being added to the product line. All glenoid types are available in various sizes. The posts of the modular glenoids are made of either a Tivanium® substrate with Trabecular Metal (TM) sleeve or the Tivanium® substrate with Porous Plasma Spray (PPS) coating.

The Alliance Glenoids are intended to be used with existing humeral stem and head components to complete a total shoulder replacement construct.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) document for the Alliance Augmented Glenoid focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study proving that a device meets specific acceptance criteria for performance in an AI/software context.

The document discusses a medical device (an augmented glenoid component for shoulder replacement), not an AI/software device. Therefore, the questions related to AI/software performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, and standalone performance are not applicable to this document.

The "Summary of Performance Data" explicitly states "Non-Clinical Tests: o Glenoid Loosening (Rocking Horse) (ASTM F2028)" and "Clinical Tests: o None provided." This indicates that the performance evaluation was based on mechanical testing, a common approach for physical medical implants, not a clinical study involving human patients or an evaluation of an AI algorithm's diagnostic capabilities.

Here's a breakdown of the relevant information provided in the document based on your request, along with explanations of why certain points are not applicable:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

The document doesn't define specific "acceptance criteria" in terms of numerical performance thresholds for diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity, as would be expected for an AI/software device. Instead, it relies on demonstrating that the Alliance Augmented Glenoid is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device (Alliance Glenoid K191814) through design similarities and non-clinical mechanical testing.

The primary performance data reported is for Glenoid Loosening (Rocking Horse) (ASTM F2028). The document implies that the results of this test demonstrated comparable performance to the predicate device, thereby supporting the claim of substantial equivalence. However, the specific metrics or acceptance values from this test are not explicitly detailed in the provided text.

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Glenoid Loosening (Rocking Horse)Comparable to predicate device (Alliance Glenoid K191814)"information provided herein demonstrates that: any differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness; and the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device"
(ASTM F2028) mechanical testing resultsNo new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to predicate.Implied to meet or exceed predicate performance. Details not provided.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical medical device (implant), not an AI/software device evaluated on patient data. The "test set" would refer to the physical components subjected to mechanical testing. The document does not specify the number of physical samples tested under ASTM F2028.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

  • Not Applicable. Ground truth, in the context of diagnostic performance, is not relevant here as this is a physical implant. The evaluation is based on engineering and materials science principles, typically involving qualified engineers and technicians performing the ASTM F2028 mechanical test.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not Applicable. Adjudication methods are used to establish ground truth in diagnostic studies, which is not relevant for this physical device.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • Not Applicable. MRMC studies are for evaluating diagnostic performance (often with AI assistance), which is not the subject of this 510(k). The document explicitly states "Clinical Tests: o None provided."

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Not Applicable. Ground truth in the diagnostic sense is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for the device's mechanical integrity would be derived from the objective results of the ASTM F2028 mechanical stress test.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not Applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not Applicable. As there is no training set.

Dear Patricia Beres:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
