Intended Use

Hardware:
The Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in the intraoperative positioning of glenoid components used with total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty by referencing anatomic landmarks of the shoulder that are identifiable on preoperative CT-imaging scans.
The Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are single use only.
The Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models can be used in conjunction with the following total and reverse shoulder implants systems and their respective compatible components:

Software:
SurgiCase Shoulder Planner is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components. SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a pre-surgical plan data file which can be used as input data to design the Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models.

Device Description

Materialise Shoulder System™ is a patient-specific medical device that is designed to be used to assist the surgeon in the placement of shoulder components during total anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement surgery. This can be done by generating a pre-surgical shoulder plan and, if requested by the surgeon, by manufacturing a patient-specific glenoid guide and models to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The device is a system composed of the following:

  • a software component, branded as SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. This software is a planning tool used to generate a pre-surgical plan for a specific patient.
  • Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, which are a patient-specific guide and models that are based on a pre-surgical plan. This pre-surgical plan is generated using the software component. Patient-specific glenoid guide and models will be manufactured if the surgeon requests patient-specific guides to transfer the glenoid plan to surgery. The Materialise Shoulder Guide is designed and manufactured to fit the anatomy of a specific patient. A bone model of the scapula is delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. A graft model can be delivered with the Materialise Shoulder Guide. The graft model visualizes the graft-space between implant and bone, based on the pre-operative planning of the surgeon. The graft model serves as a visual reference for the surgeon in the OR.
AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the Materialise Shoulder System™, Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models, and SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. It indicates that this is a special 510(k) submission, meaning it's for a modification to a previously cleared device. Therefore, much of the performance data refers back to the predicate device and prior clearances.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting study information based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a direct table showing "acceptance criteria vs. reported device performance" for this specific 510(k) submission. Instead, for this special 510(k), the performance data mainly focuses on demonstrating that the changes (addition of new implant components to the software and hardware compatibility) do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.

The "performance data (non-clinical)" section highlights that:

  • Hardware: Previous testing for biocompatibility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability, and packaging is applicable. Accuracy and performance of the system were "adequate to perform as intended." Previous simulated surgeries and cadaver testing on earlier cleared devices are considered applicable.
  • Software: Software verification and validation were performed "against defined requirements" and "against user needs," following FDA guidance.

Since this is a special 510(k) for an incremental change (adding compatibility with specific new implants), it's implied that the acceptance criteria are met if these additions do not negatively impact the established safety and effectiveness of the existing device, and the software development process meets regulatory standards.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Hardware (previous testing cited): The document mentions "previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models" and "previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559." It does not specify the sample size for these previous studies (e.g., number of bone models or cadavers) or their provenance (country of origin), nor does it state if they were retrospective or prospective.
  • Software (verification and validation): The document states "Software verification and validation were performed," but does not specify a separate "test set" in the context of clinical data or specific performance metrics with sample sizes for this particular submission. The V&V activities would involve testing against requirements and user needs, which could include various test cases and scenarios, but these are not quantified here as a "test set" size.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This information is not provided in the document. The studies cited for hardware ("simulated surgeries" and "cadaver testing") and software ("verification and validation") do not detail the involvement of experts in establishing ground truth, their number, or specific qualifications. The software's function is to assist surgeons in planning, implying surgeon input in its use, but not explicitly in establishing a ground truth for a test set described in this submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This information is not provided in the document.

5. 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

The document does not mention any MRMC comparative effectiveness studies. The device (SurgiCase Shoulder Planner software component and Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models hardware component) is designed to assist surgeons in planning and component positioning, but the provided text does not contain data on whether human readers/surgeons improve with or without this specific AI assistance or effect sizes.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

The document states that the SurgiCase Shoulder Planner is "intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components." It also mentions, "SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data." This indicates that the software is a human-in-the-loop device, where the surgeon is actively involved in the planning process and responsible for approving the plan. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance assessment, without human input, is unlikely to be the primary method of evaluation described or required for this type of device. The document does not provide such standalone performance data.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used for any specific test set related to this submission. For the hardware (guides and models), the "accuracy and performance" implies a comparison to a known standard or ideal, perhaps derived from anatomical models or surgical goals. For the software, "verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs" suggests that the ground truth for V&V would be the successful adherence to these requirements and user expectations, which could involve internal expert review or adherence to pre-defined medical/engineering specifications. However, specific types of ground truth like pathology or long-term outcomes data are not mentioned.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not provided in the document. As the submission is for a special 510(k) updating compatibility, it's possible that the core algorithms were developed and trained previously, and details of their original training are not part of this specific submission. The focus here is on the impact of the changes to the device.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not provided in the document. Similar to the training set size, the specifics of how the ground truth was established for the original training of any underlying algorithms are not included in this special 510(k).

Software

{7}------------------------------------------------

SurgiCase Shoulder Planner is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for simulation of surgical interventions for shoulder orthopedic surgery. The software is used to assist in the positioning of shoulder components. SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows the surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate and edit pre-surgical plan data. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a presurgical plan data file which can be used as input data to design the Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models.

1The implant system was originally cleared under K202716 as the Ignite Anatomic Shoulder System and was rebranded by DePuy Synthes as INHANCE™ Anatomic Shoulder System. 4DJO company name changed to Enovis. The shoulder products of Enovis were originally cleared

under the company name of DJO (Encore Medical).

3The Integra shoulder portfolio was acquired by Smith+Nephew in 2020. The shoulder products of the Titan™ Shoulder System were transferred from Integra to Smith+Nephew.

Functioning of the Device

The Materialise Shoulder System™ generates a pre-surgical plan based on medical imaging data using the SurgiCase Shoulder Planner. The SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows a qualified surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, annotate, edit and approve pre-surgical plan data, which leads to the generation of a case planning report. The SurgiCase Shoulder Planner allows for the creation of a glenoid and/or humeral pre-operative plan. If requested by the surgeon, Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are designed and manufactured based on the approved glenoid pre-surgical plan. Materialise Shoulder Guide and Models are patient specific templates which transfer the pre-operatively determined pin positioning to the patient intraoperatively assisting the surgeon in positioning glenoid components used with total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty procedures. The Materialise Shoulder Guide are available for glenoid components only.

Technological Characteristics

The Materialise Shoulder System™ has an equivalent intended use and the same fundamental scientific technology as the predicate device. The subject device's software is intended for positioning shoulder components, i.e. glenoid components and humeral components (same as the predicate device). The subject device's hardware is intended for positioning shoulder glenoid components only (same as the predicate device).

Software

The subject software device employs similar fundamental technologies as the predicate software device. Technological similarities include:

  • Device functionality: The planning functionality, visualization options and planning features are ● the same for the glenoid planning of the subject device as for the predicate device.
  • Software technology: The subject device has the same code base as the predicate device and uses the same methods for design and verification and validation as the predicate device.

{8}------------------------------------------------

Following technological differences exist between the subject device software and the predicate device software:

  • The main difference between the subject device and previously cleared predicate device K233408 is the addition of the following DePuy Synthes' and Lima's components in the software component of the subject device for the surgeon to select during the planning stage:
    DePuy Synthes:

  • . INHANCE Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implant (K212933)

  • . INHANCE Reverse Glenoid Peripheral Posts (K221467)

Lima:

  • . PRIMA TT Glenoid (K222427)
    The non-clinical performance data has demonstrated that the subject software technology differences do not affect substantial equivalence, and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.

Hardware

The subject hardware device is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, functionality, operating principles, materials and performance characteristics compared with the predicate device.

The main difference between the subject device hardware and the predicate device is the extension of compatibility of the SurgiCase Shoulder Guides and Models with additional DePuy Synthes' and Lima's implant components:

DePuy Synthes:

  • . INHANCE Hybrid Anatomic Glenoid Implant (K212933)
  • . INHANCE Reverse Glenoid Peripheral Posts (K221467)

Lima:

{9}------------------------------------------------

Performance Data (non-clinical)

Hardware:

Previous testing for biocompatibility, cleaning, debris, dimensional stability and packaging are applicable to the subject device. Testing verified that the accuracy and performance of the system is adequate to perform as intended. The stability of the device placement, surgical technique, intended use and functional elements of the subject device are the same as that of the predicate device of Materialise Shoulder System™ K233408 and previously cleared devices K231112, K230315, K220452, K212569, K193560, K190286, K172054, K170893, K153602 and K131559, and therefore previous simulated surgeries using rapid prototyped bone models and previous cadaver testing on previously cleared devices K153602 and K131559 are considered applicable to the subject device.

Software:

Software verification and validation were performed, and documentation was provided following the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." This includes verification against defined requirements, and validation against user needs.

Conclusion

The non-clinical performance testing indicates that the substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
