Intended Use
The Equinoxe Shoulder System is indicated for use individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenolumeral joint where total or hemi-arthroplasty is determined by the preferred method of treatment. - The cemented primary humeral stem, longrevision stems, and all Equinoxe glenoids are intended for cemented fixation. - The press-fit humeral stems are intended for press-fit applications but may be used with bone cement at the surgeon. - . The reverse humeral components are intended to be used in cemented applications or in revision cases when the humeral component is well-fixed/stable, as deemed by the orthopaedic surgeon. - . Humeral Heads are intended for use in cemented and press-fit applications. Clinical indications for the PRIMARY (P), LONG/REVISION (L), and FRACTURE (F) humeral components are as follows: - Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis or post-traumatic degenerative problems - Congenital abnormalities in the skeletally mature - Primary and secondary necrosis of the humeral head. - Humeral head fracture with displacement of the tuberosities - Pathologies where arthrodesis or resectional arthroplasty of the humeral head are not acceptable - Revisions of humeral prostheses when other treatments or devices have failed (where adequate fixation can be achieved) - Displaced three-part and four-part upper humeral fractures - Spiral and other fractures of the mid-humerus (in combination with glenohumeral degenerative diseases) - Revision of failed previous reconstructions when distal anchorage is required - To restore mobility from previous procedures (e.g. previous fusion) The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System is in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative diseases of the glenohumeral joint and a grossly deficient, irreparable rotator cuff. The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder is also indicated for a failed glenohumeral joint replacement with loss of rotator cuff function resulting in superior migration of the humeral head. The Equinoxe Platform Fracture Stem is in skeletally mature individuals with acute fracture of the proximal humerus and displacement of the tuberosities, displaced 3- and 4-part fractures (hemi-athroplasty), or acute fracture of the proximal humerus with failure of the glenohumeral joint (primary total shoulder arthroplasty). The Equinoxe Platform Fracture Stem is also indicated for acute fracture of the proximation with degenerative diseases of the glenohumeral joint and a grossly deficient, irreparable rotator cuff resulting in superil head (reverse total shoulder arthroplasty). The Equinoxe Platform Fracture Stem is indicated for cemented use only.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant system and the performance studies are focused on mechanical and biocompatibility testing, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

Yes
The device is an orthopedic implant (shoulder system consisting of a glenoid baseplate, screws, plate, and nut) used for total or hemi-arthroplasty in individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint. These types of devices are considered therapeutic as they are intended to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that the Equinoxe Shoulder System is an implantable device used for treating degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like Glenoid Baseplates, Central Compression Screws, a Locking Plate, a Locking Nut, and a Glenosphere Locking Screw, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 treating degenerative diseases and fractures of the glenohumeral joint. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system of components for shoulder arthroplasty (joint replacement). These are physical implants.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the mechanical properties, fixation, and biocompatibility of the implant, which are relevant for a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Equinoxe Shoulder System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
