Surgicase Shoulder Planner is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components. SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a pre-surgical plan data file which can be used as input data to design the Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models.
Materialise Shoulder System™ is a patient-specific medical device that is designed to be used to assist the surgeon in the placement of shoulder components during total anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement surgery. This can be done by generating a pre-surgical shoulder plan and, if requested by the surgeon, by manufacturing a patient-specific glenoid guide and models to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The device is a system composed of the following:
- a software component, branded as SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. This software is a planning tool used to generate a pre-surgical plan for a specific patient.
- Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, which are a patient-specific guide and models that are based on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Patient-specific glenoid guide and models will be manufactured if the surgeon requests patient-specific guides to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The Materialise Shoulder Guide is designed and manufactured to fit the anatomy of a specific patient. A bone model of the scapula is delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. A graft model can be delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. The graft model visualizes the graft-space between implant and bone, based on the pre-operative planning of the surgeon. The graft serves as a visual reference for the surgeon in the OR.
The Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models must only be used within the intended use of the compatible components.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary from the FDA for a medical device called the "Materialise Shoulder System™". While it describes the device, its intended use, and states that non-clinical performance data indicates substantial equivalence to a predicate device, it does not contain the specific details required to answer all parts of your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance.
Here's an analysis of what can be extracted and what is missing:
What's Available:
- Device Name: Materialise Shoulder System™, Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, SurgiCase Shoulder Planner
- Purpose of the "Study": The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K193560), rather than a specific clinical study with defined acceptance criteria for novel claims. The performance data presented are primarily non-clinical tests to support this substantial equivalence.
- Type of Ground Truth: For the "Hardware," it mentions "simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing." For the "Software," it mentions "Software verification and validation were performed and documentation was provided following the 'Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.'" This implies validation against defined requirements and user needs, but not necessarily a clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data.
- Data Provenance (Implied): The company, Materialise N.V., is based in Belgium. The non-clinical tests mentioned would likely have been conducted by or for the manufacturer. The previous cadaver testing would likely have been retrospective or specifically for previous clearances.
What's Missing (and why based on the document type):
The document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. For this type of submission, extensive clinical studies with new acceptance criteria, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or large training datasets for AI (if applicable, though this device seems more rule-based/software-assisted planning) are often not required if substantial equivalence can be demonstrated through non-clinical means and comparison to established predicate devices.
Therefore, the following information is not provided in the document:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: The document states that testing "verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended" and that the subject device "is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device," but it does

Software
SurgiCase Shoulder Planner is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components. SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a pre-surgical plan data file which can be used as input data to design the Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models.
Functioning of the Device
The Materialise Shoulder System™ generates a pre-surgical plan based on medical imaging data using the SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. The SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows a qualified surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate, edit and approve pre-surgical plan data, which leads to the generation of a case planning report. The SurgiCase Shoulder Planner (SCSP) allows for the creation of a glenoid and/or humeral pre-operative plan. If requested by the surgeon, Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are designed and manufactured based on the approved glenoid pre-surgical plan. Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are patient specific templates which transfer the pre-operatively determined pin positioning to the patient intraoperatively assisting the surgeon in positioning glenoid components used with total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures. The Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are available for glenoid components only.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Technological Characteristics
The Materialise Shoulder System™ has an equivalent intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device. The subject device's software is intended for positioning shoulder components, i.e. glenoid components and humeral components (same as the predicate device). The subject device's hardware is intended for positioning shoulder glenoid components only (same as the predicate device).
Software
The subject software device employs similar fundamental technologies as the predicate software device. Technological similarities include:
- Device functionality: The planning functionality, visualization options and planning features are exactly the same for the glenoid planning of the subject device as for the predicate device
- Software technology: The subject device has the same code base as the predicate device and uses exactly the same methods for design and verification and validation as the predicate device.
Following technological differences exist between the subject device software and the predicate device software:
- . The main differences between the subject device and previously cleared predicate device K193560 is the addition of the following Depuy Synthes' components in the software component of the subject device for the surgeon to select during the planning stage:
The subject software technology differences have been demonstrated to not affect safety or effectiveness or raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
Hardware
The subject hardware device is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, functionality, operating principles, materials and performance characteristics to the predicate device.
The main difference between the subject device hardware and the predicate device is:
- Extension of compatibility of SurgiCase Shoulder Guides and Models with additional Depuy Synthes' Implant components:
3 The implant system was originally cleared under K202716 as the Ignite Anatomic Shoulder System, and was rebranded by Depuy Synthes as INHANCETM Anatomic Shoulder System.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Performance Data (non-clinical)
Hardware:
Previous testing for debris and dimensional stability and new testing for biocompatibility, sterility, cleaning and packaging are applicable to the subject device and demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate device. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the subject device are the same as that of the predicate Materialise Glenoid Positioning System K193560 and previously cleared devices K190286, K172054, K170893, K153602 and K131559, and therefore previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559 are considered applicable to the subject device.
Although no additional tests in comparison with the predicate device testing were required to support substantial equivalence, new packaging, biocompatibility, end-user cleaning and sterilization testing has been done for other reasons as explained in section below.
- -Biocompatibility re-evaluation according to the new ISO 10993-1:2018 was done.
- -End-user sterilization re-evaluation using an overkill method partial cycle in accordance with ISO 17665-1:2006 on a new worst case design. (The worst-case design was modified to cover a broader portfolio of Materialise medical devices, including the subject device). All samples passed the sterilization test, validating the applied sterilization parameters for the subject device.
- -End-user cleaning re-evaluation was done on extended cleaning cycle specifications, including testing of both manual and automated cleaning cycle with both enzymatic and alkaline detergent on a new worst case design. (The worst-case design was modified to cover a broader portfolio of Materialise medical devices, including the subject device). All samples passed the cleaning the updated cleaning parameters.
- -Packaging: An additional packaging configuration was added to the packaging specifications and testing was performed. The worst-case design test samples representing the subject device passed the packaging and shipment test, validating the new packaging configuration defined in the specifications.
Software:
Software verification and validation were performed and documentation was provided following the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." This includes verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs.
Conclusion
The non-clinical performance testing indicates that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. Therefore it can be concluded that the Materialise Shoulder System™ is substantial equivalent to the predicate device.
