The Arthrex Univers Apex OptiFit Humeral Stem is indicated in replacement when conditions include severe pain or significant disability resulting from degenerative, theumatic disease, or injury of the glenohumeral joint; nonunion humeral head fractures of long duration; irreducible 2- and 4- part proximal humeral fractures; of the humeral head; or other difficult clinical management problems where arthrodesis or re-sectional arthroplasty is not acceptable.
The glenoid components are designed fixation in the joint and must only be used with an appropriate bone cement.
The proposed Univers Apex OptiFit Humeral Stem is the humeral stem component of a shoulder prosthesis system. It consists of a stem, a trunion, an inclination block, pins, and screws. All the components are comprised of titanium with a titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating.
The provided text describes the regulatory clearance for a medical device called "Arthrex Univers Apex OptiFit Humeral Stem." It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than outlining detailed acceptance criteria and performance data for a novel artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) device.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance in the context of AI/ML. The performance data mentioned refers to:
- Yield strength testing on samples with and without titanium plasma spray coating, with the acceptance criteria being "met for all samples." This is a material property test, not a performance study for an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device.
- Computational electromagnetic simulation testing to assess RF heating in bone tissue, demonstrating the device is "MR Conditional." This relates to MRI compatibility, not a diagnostic or therapeutic performance study.
In summary, this document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a traditional medical device (humeral stem), not an AI/ML device. As such, it does not provide the information requested about AI/ML device acceptance criteria, performance studies, sample sizes, expert involvement, or ground truth establishment.

Dear Tiffany Mentzel:
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advice-comprehensive-regulatoryassistance/contact-us-division-industry-and-consumer-education-dice) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).

§ 888.3660 Shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).(b)
