Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System, Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis
SYSTEM INTENDED USE :
The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is intended for use as:
A replacement of shoulder joints in primary anatomic or in primary reverse.
A replacement of other shoulder joints devices in case of revisions if sufficient bone stock remains.
The Aequalis Ascend Flex System also allows for conversions from anatomic to reverse shoulder prosthesis in case of revision.
IN ANATOMIC : The stem and head may be used by themselves, as a hemiarthroplasty, if the natural glenoid provides a sufficient bearing surface, or in conjunction with the glenoid, as a total replacement.
The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is to be used only in patients with an intact or reconstructable rotator cuff, where it is intended to provide increased mobility and stability and to relieve pain.
The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints disabled by
- Rheumatoid arthritis with pain
- Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis
- Correction of functional deformity
- Fractures of the humeral head
- Traumatic arthritis
- Revision of other devices if sufficient bone stock remains
IN REVERSE: The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints for patients with a functional deltoid muscle and with massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear with pain disabled by:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Non-Inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. ostoorthritis and avascular necrosis
- Correction of functional deformity
- Fractures of the humeral head
- Traumatic arthritis
- Revision of the devices if sufficient bone stock remains
The reversed adapter is indicated for use as components of the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System total shoulder replacement and for transformation of the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System into a reverse shoulder prosthesis without the removal of the humeral stem during revision surgery for patients with a functional deltoid muscle. The components are permitted to be used in the transformation from anatomic to reverse if the humeral stem is well fixed, the patient has a functional deltoid muscle; the arthropathy is associated with a massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear.
Notes:
- All components are single use.
- The coated humeral stem is intended for cemented or cementless use
- The non-coated humeral stem is for cemented use only.
- The all-poly glenoid components are intended for cemented use only
- The glenoid sphere implant is anchored to the bone with screws and is for non-cernented fixation.
- Titanium humeral heads are intended for patients with suspected cobalt alloy material sensitivity. The wear properties of Titanium alloys are inferior to that of cobalt alloy. A Titanium humeral head is not recommended for patients who lack a suspected material sensitivity to cobalt alloy.
Indications For Use: Device Name: Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis
Cemented Aequalis Reversed prosthesis:
It is indicated for patients with a functional deltoid muscle as a total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated with the massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. This device is also indicated for the prosthetic revisions with massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear. Only the humeral components are for cemented use. The glenoid implant is anchored to the bone with 4 screws and is for non-cemented fixation.

Note: Titanium glenoid spheres are intended for patients with suspected cobalt alloy material sensitivity. The wear properties of Titanium and Titanium alloys are inferior to that of cobalt alloy. A Titanium glenoid sphere is not recommended for patients who lack a suspected material sensitivity to cobalt alloy.
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional.
Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
The present device modification consists in the addition of glenoid sphere in Titanium.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis, specifically for a modification involving the addition of a titanium glenoid sphere. The FDA determined the device to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of units tested) for each non-clinical test (pull-out, fatigue, wear). The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin but is from the manufacturer, Tornier SAS, based in France. The studies are non-clinical, likely prospective in design, rather than retrospective or based on human subject data.
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 is a submission for a medical device (shoulder prosthesis) and involves non-clinical mechanical and material testing. Therefore, there are no "experts" in the context of clinical interpretation or ground truth establishment from patient data. The "ground truth" for these tests are objective, measurable physical properties and performance metrics established by engineering standards and testing protocols.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. As described in point 3, this is non-clinical testing. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for clinical studies involving reader agreement on interpretations (e.g., radiology images), which is not relevant here.
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
Not applicable. This is a medical device (shoulder prosthesis) and not an AI/software device. No MRMC study was conducted.

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests were the physical measurements and observations during standard engineering tests (pull-out strength, fatigue performance, wear rates). These are quantitative and objective metrics, not requiring expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the traditional clinical sense.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. As described in point 3, this is non-clinical testing for a physical device, not an AI/software product requiring a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
The present device modification consists in the addition of glenoid base plates with central threaded post and a new coating.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies:
It's important to note that the provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for a modification to an already cleared device ("Aequalis Reversed II glenoid base plate"). Therefore, the studies are primarily aimed at demonstrating substantial equivalence of the new components to the previously cleared ones, rather than establishing de novo safety and effectiveness for a completely new device.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Given the nature of this 510(k) submission for a modification, the "acceptance criteria" are framed around demonstrating equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, particularly concerns about the new glenoid base plate's anchorage.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Equivalence of Pull-out Resistance (Glenoid Anchorage): The new glenoid base plate must demonstrate equivalent resistance to pull-out forces compared to the cleared glenoid base plate, independently of post design. | Demonstrated Equivalence: Pull-out testing (E1586) was conducted and results showed that the new Aequalis Reversed base plates (with the modified post design and dimensions) were equivalent to the cleared models in terms of resistance in pull-out. The document explicitly states: "To demonstrate the equivalence between the new glenoid base plate and the cleared glenoid base plate the resistance in Pull-out has to be equivalent." and "The result shows that primary fixation has been achieved without scapular fracture or other major peri-operative complications." |
Proper Use of Instruments and Implants (Surgical Feasibility): The new components and associated instruments must be able to be used effectively without major peri-operative complications. | Demonstrated Feasibility: Cadaver testing was performed to "ensure proper use of instruments and implants." The results indicated "primary fixation has been achieved without scapular fracture or other major peri-operative complications." |
Risk of Glenoid Fracture: The new post dimensions and drilled hole diameter should not increase the risk of glenoid fracture compared to the predicate. | Equivalent Risk: The submission states, "In comparison of the recommended drilled hole diameter of the pending Aequalis Reversed base plate and the predicate, we can see that the pending Reversed base plate is equivalent with the predicates concerning the risk of glenoid's fracture." |
Equivalent Intended Use | Met: The new glenoid base plate "have the same intended use as the cleared glenoid base plate of the Aequalis Reversed II Shoulder Prosthesis." |
Equivalent Technological Characteristics (General features, fixation, materials) | Met: Overall, it's stated that "Major technological characteristics are equivalent between the new glenoid base plate of the Aequalis Reversed II Shoulder Prosthesis and the predicate devices: Equivalence of general features - Equivalent means of fixation - Equivalent materials." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Pull-out Testing (E1586):
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number. The text mentions "Posts of glenoid base plate (pending and cleared) are impacted in the same foam bloc in several configurations." This implies a comparative test with multiple specimens/configurations for both the new and cleared devices.
- Data Provenance: The study was "conducted on the new Aequalis Reversed II glenoid base plate and the cleared Aequalis Reversed II glenoid base plate." This indicates controlled laboratory testing, not human patient data.
- Cadaver Testing:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated (e.g., number of cadavers).
- Data Provenance: "Cadaver testing was performed." This is prospective testing on biological tissue from cadavers, likely conducted in a laboratory or simulated surgical environment.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
For the engineering tests (pull-out) and cadaver testing described, "ground truth" is typically established by objective physical measurements (e.g., force required for pull-out, visual inspection for fractures/complications) rather than expert consensus on interpretive data.
- No information is provided about the number or qualifications of experts for establishing ground truth in these non-clinical tests. This type of testing relies on engineering and biomechanical principles, not clinical interpretation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Given the non-clinical, objective nature of the tests (pull-out force, observational findings during cadaver surgery), formal adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 (common in diagnostic imaging studies) are not applicable or described. The results would be based on direct measurement and observation by the testing personnel.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
- No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done.
- This submission pertains to a medical implant (shoulder prosthesis modification), not a diagnostic device or a system involving human interpretation of data. Therefore, the concept of human readers or AI assistance in the context of an MRMC study does not apply here.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not done.
- This is an implantable medical device, not a software algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Pull-out Testing: The ground truth used was objective physical measurement of the force required to pull out the glenoid base plate from a foam block. The "truth" was the measured load/resistance.
- Cadaver Testing: The ground truth was based on direct observation and qualitative assessment of surgical outcomes, specifically whether "primary fixation has been achieved without scapular fracture or other major peri-operative complications." This involved visual inspection, palpation, and potentially other assessments during and after the simulated surgical procedure.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This is a medical implant, not a machine learning algorithm. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context. The device's design is based on engineering principles and previous device iterations, not data-driven machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

The usual goal of total shoulder replacement and hemi-arthroplasty of the shoulder is to restore the shoulder joint to its best working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended to accomplish these goals. With the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System, the natural glenoid elements of the shoulder may be conserved or replaced as warranted by the state of disease or injury. Thus the Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System is intended for use as a total shoulder replacement system, or as a hemi-shoulder. The modular nature of the system allows for the later conversion of a primary hemi-arthroplasty to a total shoulder replacement.
For the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis:
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-lear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-lear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. infraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional. Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.
The Acqualis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
For the Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis:
The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to be used to relieve pain or significant disability following massive cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator nuscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus. teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility and only the deltoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional.
.Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder. lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm and its Aequalis Fracture Shoulder humeral stemlike design allows to facilitate the bone reconstruction and improve the tuberosity healing and fixation. The Acqualis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
For the Aequalis Resurfacing Head:
The Aequalis Resurfacing Head is a humeral head resurfacing device. It requires less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it much more conservative than total joint implants. Revision or arthrodesis can be undertaken easily because the bone stock has been maintained with no loss of length. The main advantages of humeral head resurfacing are preservation of bone and the relatively simple surgical technique.
With the Aequalis Resurfacing Head the natural glenoid elements of the shoulder may be conserved or replaced as warranted by the state of disease or injury.
The present submission corresponds to the following modification:
- Addition of a new coating subcontractor (hydroxylapatite coating and titanium + hydroxylapatite coating): Eurocoating S.p.A on cobalt chromium and titanium components.
All the prostheses of this application are strictly identical to the previously cleared devices except for the coating supplier. The indications for use of each device are not modified.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for orthopedic devices, specifically shoulder prostheses, and it details the substantial equivalence of a new coating subcontractor rather than presenting a study proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance. Therefore, the requested information, such as a table of accuracy metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, and human-in-the-loop study results, is not available in the provided text.
The core of this submission is to demonstrate that changing the coating subcontractor for existing, previously cleared devices (Aequalis Shoulder Fracture System, Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis, Aequalis Reversed Fracture Shoulder Prosthesis, Aequalis Resurfacing Head) does not alter the safety or effectiveness of the devices.
Here's an analysis based on the information provided, focusing on what is available:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
This document does not present quantitative performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for the device's diagnostic or therapeutic efficacy. Instead, it focuses on the performance of the coating from the new subcontractor meeting established standards.
Acceptance Criteria (for the coating) | Reported Device Performance (by new subcontractor Eurocoating S.p.A.) |
---|---|
Shear fatigue strength | Met |
Static shear strength test | Met |
Static tensile strength | Met |
Abrasion | Met |
Coating characterization: thickness | Met (same specifications as BioCoat Company) |
Coating characterization: pore size | Met (same specifications as BioCoat Company) |
Coating characterization: pore volume | Met (same specifications as BioCoat Company) |
Material standards conformity | Hydroxylapatite conforms to ASTM standard F 1185, Titanium alloy (Ti6AI4V) to ISO standard 5832-3, Cobalt-chromium alloy to ISO standard 5832-4, UHMWPE to ISO5834-2. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
No specific sample sizes for a "test set" in the context of device performance (e.g., clinical outcomes) are mentioned. The testing described (shear fatigue, static shear, static tensile, abrasion, and coating characterization) would have involved laboratory samples of the materials and coatings. The document does not specify the number of samples for these non-clinical tests, nor does it provide details on data provenance in terms of country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature, as it's a technical submission for material equivalence.
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 applicable to the type of submission. Ground truth, in the context of diagnostic accuracy, is not relevant here. The "ground truth" for the coating tests would be the established material standards (ASTM, ISO) and the specifications set by the device manufacturer.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable. Adjudication methods are used in studies involving human interpretation or clinical outcomes. The non-clinical tests performed on the coating materials and their characterization are objective measurements against established standards.
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:
Not applicable. This submission is for orthopedic prostheses and relates to a material change (coating subcontractor), not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is not an algorithmic device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" for this submission are the established material and performance standards (e.g., ASTM F 1185 for hydroxylapatite coating, ISO 5832-3 for titanium alloy, ISO 5832-4 for cobalt-chromium alloy, ISO 5834-2 for UHMWPE) and the manufacturer's internal specifications for the coating properties (thickness, pore size, pore volume), which are stated to be "identical to the previously cleared devices."
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not a machine learning or AI device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable.
Summary of the Study:
The study described is a non-clinical equivalency assessment. The purpose was to demonstrate that a new coating subcontractor (Eurocoating S.p.A) produces coatings that are substantially equivalent in terms of material properties and performance to the previously approved coatings from BioCoat Company.
- Objective: To show that the change in coating subcontractor does not introduce any new or higher risks and that the devices remain substantially equivalent to their predicates.
- Methodology:
- Non-clinical testing: Shear fatigue strength, static shear strength test, static tensile strength, and abrasion tests were performed on the coating materials.
- Coating characterization: Measurements of thickness, pore size, and pore volume were conducted.
- Material Conformity: Verification that the materials used (titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, UHMWPE) and the coating (hydroxylapatite, titanium plasma spray) conform to relevant ISO and ASTM standards.
- Comparison: The specifications and performance of Eurocoating S.p.A's coatings were compared to those previously requested from BioCoat Company.
- Conclusion (from the document): The results of the evaluation allowed the conclusion that the proposed new coating subcontractor Eurocoating S.p.A does not induce any new or higher risk compared to the predicate coating subcontractor BioCoat Company, and therefore both coating subcontractors are substantially equivalent. The indications for use, other technical characteristics (design, materials, manufacturing, sizing, method of fixation), and covered zones of the implants remain unchanged.
In essence, this document is a regulatory submission focused on proving the material equivalency of a component (the coating) from a different supplier, rather than a study on the clinical performance or diagnostic accuracy of the entire medical device.

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to mcdialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
The present device modification submission consists in the addition of components to the Aequalis Reversed Soulder prosibesis in order to have the possibility to transform the Aequalis Reversed Soulder Prosthesis in a standard hemi or total prosthesis in some clinical cases encountered during the surgical procedure.
The present Device Modification submission corresponds to the addition of 3 components of the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder prosthesis:
- Hemi-prosthesis adaptor diameter 36 mm, -
- Hemi-prosthesis adaptor diameter 42 mm, -
- Adaptor metaphysis union screw.

AEQUALIS REVERSED SHOULDER PROSTHESIS
The Aegualis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated for patients, with a functional deltoid I ho requare to rever sou box replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability following arthropathy associated to massive non repairable rotator cuff-tear. This device is also indicated for the prosthetic revisions with massive and non repairable rotator cuff-tear.
The Aegualis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis humeral component is intended for cemented use only and the glenoid component is intended for non cemented use with 4 screws for fixation.
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthropathy. In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional. Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm.
The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.
The humeral component:
The humeral part is made of 3 parts consisting of interchangeable stems, metaphysis , and inserts, that may be assembled in different configurations thus accommodating a large variation in patient size and anatomy.
The metaphyseal parts are fixed to the stem by a screwing fixation secured by a polyethylene breaking system. A lateralization spacer can be added to the humeral metaphysis in order to vary the lateralization.
The inserts are impacted on to the conic shape of the metaphysis. A polyethylene peg guides it in the correct position.
The stems are made of cobalt-chrome in 4 diameters The metaphyseal parts are manufactured from cobalt-chrome, in 2 sizes. The inserts are available in polyethylene in 6 sizes. The lateralization spacers are made of cobalt-chrome and are available in 2 sizes.
The glenoid component:
The glenoid part is composed of a base made of titanium alloy, on which is impacted a sphere of chrome cobalt. The assembly is secured by a central and internal screw. The sphere is available in two diameters congruent with the humeral insert.
The metallic base of the glenoid is fixed to the bone by using 4 compression screws for fixation.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Tornier S.A. Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis. It describes the device, its intended use, materials, and provides a substantial equivalence determination from the FDA. However, it does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert adjudication in the context of proving the device meets specific performance criteria.
The 510(k) process primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than requiring extensive clinical trials or performance studies with specific acceptance criteria that would fall under the categories requested in your prompt. The "Standards / Testing" section only lists material and sterilization standards, not performance criteria for the device's clinical efficacy or safety beyond material biocompatibility.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample sizes for test sets or data provenance.
- Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study results.
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used.
- Sample size for the training set.
- How ground truth for the training set was established.
This information is typically found in clinical study reports, scientific publications, or more detailed regulatory submissions (like a PMA) that are not part of this 510(k) summary.
