Intended Use

The Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System is in total shoulder repacement to treat a severely painf il and/or disabled joint resulting from osteoarthritis.

The humeral stemless of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder is intended for cementless use only. The glencid components of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System are intended for cemented use only.

The patient's joint must be anatomically suited to receive the selected implants and a functional rotator cuff is necessary to use the device.

Device Description

The Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder is an anatomical shoulder prothesis designed for use in patients with a functional rotator cuff. The Easytech® humeral stemless (Anchor base) is used with a connector, a centered or offset humeral head, and a glenoid for use in an anatomical shoulder configuration.

This system is designed to articulate with a glenoid component for total shoulder arthroplasty. Subject of this submission is the cementless, stemless Humeral Anchor base that is part of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System. The compatible components to complete the system have been cleared previously in K111097, K123814, and K163669.

The Easytech® Anchor base is a stemless prosthesis. The cementless Anchor base is available in diameters of 30 to 38 mm. The Anchor base has a main central post with striaes. In the periphery of the Anchor base, five retentives striaes are positioned to help with the primary fixation. The undersurface of the Anchor base, including the central post and retentive striaes, has a plasma sprayed CPTitanium and Hydroxyapatite coating without the superior surface and the female taper. The Anchor base incorporates a female taper for attachment of compatible components. This component is manufactured in Ti-6AI-4V ELI allov conforming to ISO 5832-3.

The Anchor base can be used with a straight taper connector or a centered spacer manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3, a centered or offset humeral head manufactured from wrought Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforming to ISO 5832-12 and a 2 pegs or 3 or 4 pegs cemented glenoid manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) conforming to ISO 5834-2 for use in an anatomical shoulder configuration.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Primary Endpoint (Clinical Success at 24+ Months): Percentage of subjects where: - Adjusted Constant Score >54 AND improved from baseline >10 - No migration or subsidence - No radiolucencies of the humeral or glenoid components - Implant integrity maintained - No revision surgery - No serious adverse device event91.7% (with a lower two-sided 90% confidence bound of 87.3%). This is compared to a performance goal for the predicate device of 92.3% and a reference margin of 10%. The lower bound (87.3%) being greater than (92.3% - 10% = 82.3%) indicated success.
Adjusted Constant Score Improvement: Clinically significant improvement in Adjusted Constant Score from preoperative baseline.Average Month 24+ Adjusted Constant Score: 99.14 (SD 18.73). Clinically significant improvement (p < 0.0001) from preoperative baseline of 55.68 (SD 18.50). 99.0% of patients achieved Adjusted Constant Score success.
Range of Motion Improvement: Significant improvement from preoperative to postoperative.Showed significant improvement from preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.0001).
Radiographic Findings: No migration or subsidence of humeral or glenoid components, no radiolucencies, no anatomic fractures, and no issues with implant integrity (as reported by independent radiograph review).Independent radiograph review reported no migration or subsidence of humeral or glenoid components, no radiolucencies, no anatomic fractures, and no issues with implant integrity.
Clinical Success of Anchor Base: (Implicit, based on SADE analysis)99.2%
Device Survivorship: (Implicit, based on long-term performance)95% survivorship at an average 3 years follow-up.
Safety Profile: Equivalent to other total anatomic shoulder devices regarding potential risks and adverse event rates.The overall adverse event rate was low. The stemless humeral design did not create an increased risk for loosening or revision. The device has an equivalent safety profile and is at least as safe as other total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty systems. Eight (8) serious adverse device effects (SADE) in 8 patients were reported (4 instability, 3 dislocation, 1 glenoid loosening). Seven resulted in secondary surgical procedures, five of which converted to reversed shoulder without removal of the well-fixed Anchor base. One dislocation was reduced, and one required Anchor base revision.

Study Details

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Sample Size: 129 patients (from an initial 141; 7 refused data sharing, 5 had non-osteoarthritis diagnoses).
    • Data Provenance: Retrospective, multi-center study conducted at 5 sites in France. This is described as "real-world evidence" reflecting clinical experience by orthopedic surgeons in community and clinic-based practices.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • The document mentions "Independent radiograph review" was conducted, but does not specify the number of experts or their qualifications.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • The document does not specify an adjudication method for the test set. It mentions "Independent radiograph review," suggesting individual assessment, but no mechanism for resolving discrepancies is detailed.
  4. 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:

    • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This study is a clinical efficacy and safety study of a medical device (shoulder prosthesis) in patients, not an AI diagnostic tool's performance with human readers.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No standalone algorithm performance study was done. This is a study of a physical medical device.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • The ground truth for the clinical success criteria was established using a combination of:
      • Clinical Outcomes Data: Adjusted Constant Score (a standardized patient outcome measure), Range of Motion measurements.
      • Radiographic Review: For migration, subsidence, radiolucencies, and implant integrity.
      • Event-Based Data: Absence of revision surgery, absence of serious adverse device events.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable/Not provided. This refers to a clinical study of a physical medical device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The "training" here would be general surgical training and experience.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable/Not provided. As above, this is for a physical device, not an AI/ML system.

help with the primary fixation. The undersurface of the Anchor base, including the central post and retentive striaes, has a plasma sprayed CPTitanium and Hydroxyapatite coating without the superior surface and the female taper. The Anchor base incorporates a female taper for attachment of compatible components. This component is manufactured in Ti-6AI-4V ELI allov conforming to ISO 5832-3.

The Anchor base can be used with a straight taper connector or a centered spacer manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy conforming to ISO 5832-3, a centered or offset humeral head manufactured from wrought Co-Cr-Mo alloy conforming to ISO 5832-12 and a 2 pegs or 3 or 4 pegs cemented glenoid manufactured from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) conforming to ISO 5834-2 for use in an anatomical shoulder configuration.

Intended Use / Indications

The Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System is indicated for use in total shoulder replacement to treat a severely painful and/or disabled joint resulting from osteoarthritis.

The humeral stemless of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder is intended for cementless use only. The glenoid components of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System are intended for cemented use only.

The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implants and a functional rotator cuff is necessary to use the device.

Summary of Technologies / Substantial Equivalence

The Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate in that it has the same indications, comprised of the same materials, is similar in design and sizes. Both are provided sterile for single use using gamma irradiation. The subject device, primary predicate and reference devices conform to recognized performance standards for total shoulder devices. The design differences do not affect safety or effectiveness as demonstrated via mechanical testing to characterize the device (vs reference device K143552) and clinically via the Easytech Anatomic Retrospective Cinical Study. The coating of the subject device is identical to the coating of the reference device K163669. Differences between the subject device and the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Non-Clinical Testing

Static testing includes lever out, pull out, and torque out testing of the Anchor base and static and dynamic testing of the humeral component of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System includes construct fatique testing and post-fatigue pull off and torque out testing in accordance with ASTM F2009-00 (2011) Standard Test Method for Determining the Axial Disassembly Force of Taper Connection of Modular Prostheses. All samples reached 5,000,000 cvcles with no failure or disassociation observed. There was no significant mass loss of the specimen tapers. Fretting and corrosion analysis has also been completed to assess the taper interface for signs of fretting scars, fretting or pitting corrosion and presence of corrosion byproducts. Samples were evaluated via SEM and qualitative energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of any corrosion products observed. Fretting and corrosion results were compared to the literature and did not raise new questions of safety. Range of Motion analysis was also completed. Characterization of the Ti/HA plasma spray coating was submitted in

{5}------------------------------------------------

previous submissions (K130759. K162455), is the same coating for the reference predicate (K163669), and is referenced to support the current submission. The results of these tests indicate that the performance of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System is adequate for its intended use. Side-by-side mechanical testing vs reference predicate was completed for further characterization of the subject device.

Clinical Testing

The Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System Retrospective study was a single arm, multi-center study conducted at 5 sites in France as part of the manufacturer's postmarket surveillance for its shoulder devices. A total of 141 patients were implanted with the study device during the period January 2015 to December 2016, seven (7) patients refused to share their data and five (5) had a diagnosis other than osteoarthritis. The purpose of the retrospective study was to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System for total shoulder arthroplasty at Month 24. This data is real world evidence and reflects clinical experience with the Easytech stemless anatomic shoulder as it is used by orthopaedic surgeons who have community and clinic based practices and who implanted osteoarthritic patients who are representative of their broad patient population.

One hundred twenty-nine (129) patients having a primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis were analyzed and had an average length of follow-up of 3 years. A subject was a success at 24+ months if: the Adjusted Constant Score was >54 and improved from baseline >10, there was no migration or subsidence, radiolucencies of the humeral or glenoid components and implant integrity was maintained. Adjusted Constant Scorethey did not have revision surgery, and they did not have a serious adverse device event. Secondary objectives included range of motion, radiograph review for osteolysis,anatomic fracture and other observations, other adverse event and device survival. Patient outcomes were compared to the performance goal based upon the primary predicate device clinical trial.

The percentage of subjects who met all four criteria is 91.7% with a lower two-sided 90% confidence bound of 87.3%. As the lower bound is greater than the percentage of success observed in the performance goal of the predicate IDE (92.3% and the reference margin (10%), the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis, that the Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System meets the performance goal and is a study clinical success.

The average Month 24+ Adjusted Constant Score was 99.14 (SD 18.73) with a clinically significant improvement (p < 0.0001) from preoperative baseline of 55.68 (SD 18.50). Ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of Easytech patients achieved Adjusted Constant Score success.

Range of motion also showed significant improvement from preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.0001).

Independent radiograph review reported no migration or subsidence of humeral or glenoid components, no radiolucencies, no anatomic fractures, and no issues with implant integrity.

{6}------------------------------------------------

There were eight (8) reported serious adverse device effects (SADE) occurring in 8 study patients. Four (4) were for anatomic instability which was caused by either a trauma or glenoid dysplasia. Three (3) were for dislocation, two (2) of which occurred within or at the first month postoperative. One (1) was for glenoid loosening. Seven (7) resulted in a secondary surgical procedure with five (5) of them converting the anatomic construct to a reversed shoulder without removal of the well-fixed, stable Anchor base. One (1) dislocation was reduced under general anesthesia and no device components were revised. One (1) dislocation resulted in the revision of the Anchor base due to the humeral cut during the index surgery. The clinical success of the Anchor base is 99.2%.

Survival analysis for the Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System demonstrates 95% survivorship at an average 3 years follow-up.

Conclusions

The Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System described in this section has the same intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the cleared Arthrex Eclipse Shoulder Prosthesis System (K183194). Clinical evidence demonstrates that a high majority of patients saw a reduction in pain and increase in function as measured by the Adjusted Constant Score and is comparable to other anatomic total shoulder devices. The overall adverse event rate was low and the stemless humeral design did not create an increased risk for loosening or revision. The Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System has an equivalent safety profile and is at least as safe as other total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty systems in regards to all potential risks, including adverse event rates. The primary effectiveness and safety hypotheses both demonstrate clinical success equivalent to the primary predicate device.

Overall, the Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System has a positive risk-benefit profile. The study supports with high probability (p <0.0001) that patients will experience a clinically significant improvement in pain and function, and has a similar safety profile compared to other legally marketed stemless anatomic shoulder devices.

Differences between the subject device and the predicate do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Based upon the testing and clinical evidence, the Easytech Anatomical Shoulder System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
