More Information

DELIVERY, KWS, HSD

No
The document describes a shoulder implant system and its intended use, focusing on mechanical and material properties. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes
The device is a shoulder implant system intended to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fractures, which are therapeutic interventions to alleviate pain and restore function.

No

This device is a shoulder arthroplasty system, intended for surgical implantation to treat severe shoulder joint issues, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical components (humeral stem, humeral head, suture collar, epiphyseal components) and the intended use describes surgical procedures involving these implants. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 treating various conditions of the shoulder joint (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, avascular necrosis, failed joint replacements). This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of components (humeral stem, humeral head, suture collar, epiphyseal components) designed to replace or augment parts of the shoulder joint. This aligns with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for diagnosing a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, mechanical properties (fatigue strength, torque testing), and MRI compatibility, which are relevant for surgical implants. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, etc.).

Therefore, the GLOBAL UNITE Platform Shoulder System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Yayoi Fujimaki:

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

• A severely painful and/or disabled joint resulting from
osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
• Other difficult clinical problems where shoulder arthrodesis or
resection arthroplasty are not acceptable (e.g. revision of a failed
primary component)
Hemi-shoulder arthroplasty is also indicated for:
• Deformity and/or limited motion
GLOBAL UNITE Short Humeral Stems, in conjunction with
existing DELTA XTEND Epiphyseal Components, are indicated
for use in reverse shoulder arthroplasty in treatment of a grossly
deficient rotator cuff joint with severe arthropathy or a previously
failed joint replacement with a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint.
The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to
receive the selected implant(s), and a functional deltoid muscle is
necessary to use the device.
When used in a total shoulder arthroplasty, the GLOBAL UNITE
Implants are to be used with DePuy glenoid components. The
glenoid components are for cemented use only.
When used in a reverse shoulder arthroplasty, the GLOBAL
UNITE and DELTA XTEND Humeral Implants are to be used with
the HA-coated DELTA XTEND Metaglene Devices. The

Testing Data
Summary of non-clinical
studyBiocompatibility evaluation per ISO10993-1. Dimensional and
geometrical equivalency analysis, fatigue strength evaluation,
tolerance analysis and torque testing are conducted. MRI
compatibility evaluation is conducted for MRI labeling.
Summary of animal studyAnimal study was not necessary.
Summary of clinical studyClinical study was not necessary.
ConclusionThe results of the non-clinical testing and evaluations have
demonstrated that the subject device is as safe and effective as the
predicate device and therefore, substantially equivalent to the
predicate device.
