The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of a medical device, the INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder System, and does not contain information about the performance of an AI/ML device. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the requested questions about acceptance criteria, study details, and AI performance.
The document focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" of the device to previously cleared predicate devices through non-clinical testing. It explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder System to the predicate devices."
The non-clinical testing performed includes:
- Range of Motion (RoM) Evaluation: Met established specifications per ASTM F1378.
- Construct Fatigue Testing: Met acceptance criteria per ASTM F1378.
- Construct Loosening and Disassociation: Met acceptance criteria per ASTM F2028-17.
- Biocompatibility Assessments: Found to be biocompatible per ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance.
- Porous Structure Characterization: Identical to previously cleared devices.
- Characterization of VE-UHMWPE: Fully characterized in a previous submission (K202716).
- Evaluation of Wear Rate: Wear rate was lower than a predicate device, meeting acceptance criteria.
- MRI Compatibility: Quantitative data obtained per ASTM standards (F2052-15, F2213-17, F2182-19e2, F2119-07).

Summary of Technologies/Substantial Equivalence:
The implant and associated instruments within the INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder System are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms to its intended use and indications, material, design, sizes, and mechanical properties. Differences between the subject device system and the predicate device systems do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Non-Clinical Testing:
The INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder System underwent non-clinical testing and analyses to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The following were completed:
{8}------------------------------------------------
Range of Motion (RoM) Evaluation
An evaluation was conducted to ensure the RoM of the worst-case subject device components meet established specifications per ASTM F1378. The RoM targets were met.
Construct Fatigue Testing
Construct fatigue testing was performed per ASTM F1378. The acceptance criteria were met.
Construct Loosening and Disassociation
The INHANCETM Reverse Shoulder System was evaluated for loosening and disassociation per ASTM F2028-17. The acceptance criteria were met.
Biocompatibility Assessments
The contact classification for the subject devices is Implant, Bone/Tissue with permanent contact (>30 days). A Biocompatibility Assessments was completed and provided per ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance Document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". The devices were found to be biocompatible.
Porous Structure Characterization
The porous structure used for the subject device is identical to the porous structure that was applied to the implants cleared under K202716 (Ignite Anatomic Shoulder System) and K203108 (Ignite Stemless Anatomic Shoulder System).
Characterization of VE-UHMWPE
The Vitamin E Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (Cross-linked, VE UHMWPE) material used for the Liners of the INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder is identical to the VE UHMWPE material that was used on the devices cleared under K202716 (Ignite Anatomic Shoulder System). The material was fully characterized per FDA Guidance, "Characterization of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Used in Orthopedic Devices-Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" in K202716.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Evaluation of Wear Rate
Wear testing of the Vit-E UHMWPE liners was completed on a joint simulator under pristine and abrasive conditions. Prior to wear testing, the liners were accelerated aged per ASTM F2003. The resulting wear rate was lower than that of a predicate device. The acceptance criteria were met. Micro-CT assessment of wear features on the humeral liners was conducted following abrasive wear testing.
MRI Compatibility
Quantitative data was obtained to inform Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Conditional Labeling through the following evaluations:
- Force: Static Magnetic Field Induced Displacement Force per ASTM F2052-15 ●
- Torque: Static Magnetic Field Induced Torque per ASTM F2213-17 ●
- Heating: Radiofrequency field (RF) induced heating per ASTM F2182-19e2 ●
- Image Quality: Susceptibility induced image artifacts per ASTM F2119-07
Shelf Life Evaluation
A shelf life evaluation per ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 was completed on the packaging materials that make up the sterile barrier. A five-year shelf life was established based on the resultant data.
Sterilization Validation
Sterilization validation was completed using the VDmax method specified in ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) was found to be 10-9.
Clinical Testing:
Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the INHANCE™ Reverse Shoulder System to the predicate devices.
Conclusion:
A comparison of the subject and predicate devices, including comparison of the intended use, technological characteristics, and non-clinical testing results has demonstrated that the subject devices have a safety and effectiveness profile equivalent to that of the predicate devices. Thus, the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
