Intended Use

The Bio-Modular Shoulder System is intended for partial or total shoulder ioint arthroplasty.
Indications for use:

  1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis.
  2. Rheumatoid arthritis
  3. Revision where other devices or treatments have failed
  4. Correction of functional deformity
  5. Treatment of acute fracture of the humeral head unmanageable using other treatment methods.
  6. Cuff tear arthropathy
Device Description

Offset Humeral Heads are a modification of standard modular heads. Rather than a modular head with a centered stem providing the same amount of bearing surface circumferentially from the stem, the stem is place 5 degrees off the center point of the head providing a greater amount of bearing surface. This gives the surgeon the ability to more closely reconstruct the natural anatomy of the patient's shoulder and potentially reduce the risk of dislocation. In order to replicate trial orientation of the Offset Humeral Head, an alignment pin is provided which fits into a hole in the humeral stem and then may be aligned with on of 8 holes on the under surface of the head. The Bio-Modular Offset Humeral Heads are manufactured from cobalt alloy (Co-Cr-Mo) conforming to ASTM F-1537.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, the Bio-Modular Shoulder Offset Humeral Heads. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for the new device itself.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria. Specifically:

  • No table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance is present. The document focuses on comparing the new device to existing, already-approved devices, rather than establishing and meeting new performance benchmarks.
  • No sample size for a test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, or adjudication method are mentioned because a clinical study of this nature was not conducted or reported for the 510(k) submission.
  • No multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study is discussed.
  • No standalone algorithm performance is applicable as this is a physical implant, not an AI/software device.
  • No specific type of ground truth used for a device performance study is mentioned.
  • No sample size for a training set or how ground truth for a training set was established are provided, as this is not an AI/software device and thus does not involve training data in the AI sense.

The document primarily focuses on:

  1. Device Description: Explaining the features and construction of the Bio-Modular Shoulder Offset Humeral Heads.
  2. Intended Use and Indications for Use: Delineating the medical conditions for which the device is intended.
  3. Potential Risks: Listing known risks associated with joint replacement devices in general.
  4. Substantial Equivalence: Identifying predicate devices (Bio-Modular Shoulder System, Aequalis Shoulder Prosthesis, Global Dialable Eccentric Head) to which the new device is compared to argue for its safety and effectiveness. The FDA's letter confirms this determination of substantial equivalence.

Dear Ms. Beres:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosures) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
