Intended Use

The AltiVate Reverse® Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated as a reverse shoulder replacement for patients with a functional deltoid muscle and a grossly deficient rotator cuff joint suffering from pain and dysfunction due to: Severe arthropathy with a grossly deficient rotator cuff; Previously failed joint replacement with a grossly deficient rotator cuff; Fracture of glenohumeral joint from trauma or pathologic conditions of the shoulder including humeral head fracture, displaced 3- or 4-part fractures of proximal humerus, or reconstruction after tumor resection; Bone defect in proximal humerus; Non-inflammatory degenerative disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis of the natural humeral head and/or glenoid; Inflammatory arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis; Correction of functional deformity. The glenoid baseplate is intended for cementless application with addition of screws for fixation. This device may also be indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts for anatomic and hemi procedures. All RSP® Monoblock and AltiVate Reverse® humeral stems are intended for cemented or cementless use.

Device Description

The AltiVate Reverse® Glenoid is a line extension to the existing RSP Glenoid System consisting of additional size offerings, modularity, and augment/revision offerings for varying glenoid morphologies for use in reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) applications. The new implants consist of modular neutral and augmented baseplates, Torx peripheral screws, porous coated pegs, and additional offsets of glenospheres. All of the subject device implants are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V except the glenospheres, which are manufactured from CoCrMo. New device specific accessories/instruments have been developed and are intended to facilitate proper implantation of the glenoid shoulder system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called the AltiVate Reverse® Glenoid. It explicitly states that "Clinical data was not required." This means that the device was cleared based on non-clinical performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, rather than through a clinical study involving human patients.

Therefore, I cannot provide the detailed information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, as no such clinical study was conducted or required for this 510(k) submission.

However, I can extract the information provided about the non-clinical performance testing and the basis for substantial equivalence.

Based on the provided document:

Accepted Basis for Clearance (Non-Clinical/Bench Testing):

Acceptance Criteria (Test Standard)Reported Device Performance (Demonstrated Equivalence)
Glenoid loosening (ASTM F2028)Substantial equivalence to predicate device.
Taper disassociation (ASTM F2009)Substantial equivalence to predicate device.
Screw testing (ASTM F543)Substantial equivalence to predicate device.
Range of motion (ASTM F1378)Substantial equivalence to predicate device.
Porous coating characterizationSubstantial equivalence to predicate device.
Corrosion evaluationSubstantial equivalence to predicate device.
MRI compatibility evaluationSubstantial equivalence to predicate device.

Regarding the other requested information (which is not applicable to a non-clinical 510(k) clearance):

  1. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used. The performance testing was non-clinical (bench testing).
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth... and qualifications: Not applicable, as no human expert-driven ground truth was established from clinical data.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used.
  4. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): For the non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" was established by adherence to ASTM standards and demonstrated mechanical/material equivalence to the predicate device.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as no clinical training set was used.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as no clinical training set was used.

Conclusion stated in the document: "All testing and evaluations demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified." This means the device met the acceptance criteria by demonstrating equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device through non-clinical performance testing.

Dear Sherri Mellingen:

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 (the 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 available 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
