The device description clearly details physical implants made of polyethylene and titanium alloy, intended for surgical implantation. The performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of these physical components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for replacing parts of the shoulder joint. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and design of a physical implant (glenoid, humeral stem, etc.) used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the shoulder joint, not on a biological sample.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and wear of the implant, which are relevant to a surgical device, not an IVD.

In summary, the device is a surgical implant intended for therapeutic use in treating shoulder conditions, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

Summary of Technologies/Substantial Equivalence:

The INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implants are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of their intended use and indications, material, design, sizes, and mechanical properties. While the predicate device is composed entirely of cross-linked VE UHMWPE machined from ram extruded bar stock, the cross-linked VE UHMWPE body of the INHANCE Hybrid Glenoid Implants are direct compression molded into an additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V central porous post. Differences between the subject device system and the predicate device system do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Non-Clinical Testing:

The INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implants underwent non-clinical testing and analyses to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The following were completed:

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.

Biocompatibility Assessments

6

Characterization of AO-HXLPE

The antioxidant highly crosslinked UHMWPE (AO-HXLPE) was fully characterized and conforms to ASTM F2695. The Vitamin E Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (Crosslinked, VE UHMWPE) material used for the INHANCE Hybrid Anatomic Glenoids is identical in base resin, blending concentration of antioxidant, and crosslinking irradiation dose to the VE UHMWPE material that was used on the devices cleared under K202716.

Evaluation of Glenoid Wear Rate

The direct compression molded articulating surfaces on the INHANCE Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implants do not present a new worst case for wear testing when compared to articulating surfaces of the same geometry and material that are machined from ram extruded bar stock.

Glenoid Loosening Testing

The INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoids were tested according to ASTM F2028. The acceptance criteria were met.

Glenoid Torsional Resistance Testing

The INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoids were subjected to static torsional resistance testing. The acceptance criteria were met.

Axial Pull-out Testing

The INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoids were subjected to axial pullout testing. The acceptance criteria were met.

Ti6Al4V Post Disassembly Evaluation

A mechanical evaluation was conducted to study the risk of dissociation of the Ti6Al4V Post and the VE XLPE Glenoid body. The acceptance criteria were met.

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 ●

7

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 10-6.

Clinical Testing:

Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the INHANCE™ Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implants to the predicate device.

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 device has a safety and effectiveness profile equivalent to that of the predicate device. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
