This document, K211359, is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Tornier Perform™ Patient-Matched Primary Reversed Glenoid (implant) and BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (hardware and software). The core of a 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving absolute safety and effectiveness through clinical trials. As such, the information provided focuses on non-clinical performance and verification/validation, largely relying on the predicate device's established safety and effectiveness.
Therefore, the following information, which typically applies to AI/software as a medical device (SaMD) clearances involving complex algorithms and clinical performance studies, is largely not present in this 510(k) summary. The provided text explicitly states that "No clinical studies were performed." This indicates that the device's performance was not evaluated through a study comparing it to an established ground truth in the way a traditional AI/SaMD clinical study would.
Here is a breakdown based on the provided document and the limitations:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document describes non-clinical performance testing for both the implant and the instrumentation. These are engineering/material specifications rather than clinical performance metrics for an AI algorithm.
Component / Test Area | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
---|---|---|
Tornier Perform™ Patient-Matched Primary Reversed Glenoid (Implant) | (Demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate) | Supported by performance testing |
Baseplate Pullout | (Adequate mechanical strength) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
Fatigue | (Resistance to cyclic loading) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
Reverse Glenoid Loosening | (Stability of the implant) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
Range of Motion | (Functional movement with implant) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
MRI compatibility evaluation | (Compatibility with MRI) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
Porous Structure | (Material properties) | Performed, results led to substantial equivalence |
Biocompatibility, sterilization, cleaning, endotoxin, particulate, packaging, shelf life, and distribution | (Meet recognized consensus standards) | Assessed in accordance with recognized consensus standards |
BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation (Hardware) | (Demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate; non-functional dimensional changes) | Supported by dimensional tests on predicate (remain applicable) and cadaveric tests on subject device. |
BLUEPRINT™ 3D Planning Software (Software) | (Demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate; no new questions of safety/effectiveness) | Supported with verification and validation evaluations. Operating principle is the same as predicate. Differences in design do not raise new safety/effectiveness questions. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable in the context of a clinical performance test for an AI algorithm. The tests described are non-clinical engineering/materials tests (e.g., pullout, fatigue). For the software, "verification and validation evaluations" were performed, but no specific number of cases or data provenance is detailed, as it's a conformity assessment to the predicate's operating principle.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable for an AI algorithm evaluation in this context. The document mentions "cadaveric test performed on the subject device" for the hardware, which would be test data, but not a "test set" in the sense of clinical images for an AI.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable as no clinical study or AI algorithm evaluation with human expert ground truth was performed.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as no clinical study or AI algorithm evaluation with adjudicated ground truth was performed.
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:
- No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were performed." Therefore, there is no effect size on human reader improvement with AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- For the BLUEPRINT™ 3D Planning Software, "verification and validation evaluations" were performed. While these evaluations assess the algorithm's functionality, they are not presented as a standalone performance study in a clinical context (e.g., measuring diagnostic accuracy against a ground truth dataset). The software is a planning tool, not a diagnostic AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For the non-clinical tests (implant): Engineering specifications, material properties, and established consensus standards serve as the "ground truth" for the physical device's performance.
- For the software: The ground truth would be the accuracy and correctness of the planning outputs and measurements generated by the software, compared to expected or designed values. This is typically assessed through software verification and validation against a golden standard or internal reference data, not clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable, as this is a 510(k) for an orthopedic implant and a planning software, not a deep learning AI model that requires a "training set" in the same sense. The software's design and programming are based on established anatomical and biomechanical principles.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as no external "training set" with established ground truth, typical for AI model development, is mentioned.

---|---|
PPS and HA/TCP Coating Pore Size and Porosity | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to be compliant with acceptance criteria as part of the overall "Substantial Equivalence Conclusion" |
Glenoid Loosening/Disassociation Test Method | Not explicitly detailed, but implied to be compliant. |
Shear Testing Justification | Justified |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
This is an orthopedic implant 510(k) submission, not a study of an AI/ML device. Therefore, the concept of a "test set" in the machine learning sense, or data provenance in terms of patient data origin and retrospectivity/prospectivity, is not applicable. The documentation refers to mechanical and material testing, which would have specific sample sizes for engineering tests (e.g., number of specimens tested for shear strength, porosity), but these details are not provided in this summary document.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires human expert review for establishing ground truth on image data or similar. The "ground truth" here refers to established engineering standards and material specifications.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. Ground truth establishment for AI/ML model test sets.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device where human readers interact with AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is an orthopedic implant, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" in this context refers to:
- Engineering Standards and Material Specifications: The device's performance against established industry standards for orthopedic implants, including mechanical strength, durability, material composition (e.g., PPS and HA/TCP coating properties), and resistance to loosening/disassociation.
- Predicate Device Performance: The comparison of the proposed device's characteristics to those of legally marketed predicate devices, demonstrating that any differences "do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness."
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

The ExactechGPS is intended for use during preoperative planning and during stereotaxic surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the endoprosthesis with the anatomical structures provided that the required anatomical landmarks can be identified on the patient's preoperative CT scan.
The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application is specifically indicated for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty using the Equinoxe system to aid the surgeon in locating anatomical structures and aligning the glenoid component with the anatomical structures.
The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application is a modification of the Exactech GPS stereotactic navigation system designed to help guide surgeons during the preparation of the glenoid as part of a total shoulder arthroplasty procedure.
Like predicate Exactech GPS system software dedicated to use with total knee arthroplasty procedures, the ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application works with Exactech GPS hardware trackers that communicate intraoperative data to the Exactech GPS hardware station to provide surgeons with real-time information on the position of patient anatomical structures and of instrumentation used to prepare patient bone during stereotaxic surgery.
The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application adds a preoperative planning feature, where surgeons use CT-scan images of patient bone with software models of Exactech Equinoxe implants to preoperatively plan procedures in a virtual environment prior to surgery.
The ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application is used with the same ExactechGPS V2 station, trackers, and disposable kit hardware as the predicate ExactechGPS. This submission includes new surgical instruments dedicated to total shoulder arthroplasty.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the ExactechGPS® Total Shoulder Application. It outlines the device's indications for use, its description, and references non-clinical testing performed to establish substantial equivalence. However, it does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully address all parts of your request regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.
Specifically, the document lacks specific quantitative acceptance criteria for accuracy, precision, or other performance metrics. It also does not detail a specific human-in-the-loop (MRMC) study or a standalone algorithm study with defined ground truth establishment, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert qualifications, or adjudication methods for the test set.
Based on the provided text, here's what can be extracted and what is missing:
Missing Information:
- A table of specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., accuracy +/- X mm, precision +/- Y degrees).
- Reported device performance against those specific numerical criteria.
- Sample sizes for the test set.
- Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth for the test set.
- Qualifications of those experts.
- Adjudication method for the test set.
- Whether a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and if so, the effect size.
- Whether a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for quantitative performance evaluation.
- The sample size for the training set.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established.
Information that can be extracted from the provided text:
1. Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance:
The document broadly states that "Software verification testing to ensure all design outputs meet all specified requirements" and "Software validation to ensure software specifications conform to user needs and intended uses, and that the particular requiremented through software can be consistently fulfilled" were performed.
Regarding device performance, it mentions:
- "System accuracy verification via bench testing to ensure the ExactechGPS Total Shoulder Application works with Exactech GPS hardware to display information to surgeons as intended"
- "System accuracy verification via comparison of system outputs to CT-scan data collected during simulated use via evaluation with cadaveric specimens"
- "Overall system validation through simulated use via evaluation with cadaveric specimens"
However, the specific numerical acceptance criteria for accuracy (e.g., in mm or degrees) and the quantitative results of these tests are NOT provided in this document. It implies that certain accuracy thresholds were met, but the specific values are absent.
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size: Not specified. The phrase "evaluation with cadaveric specimens" is used, implying multiple specimens, but the exact number is not given.
- Data Provenance: The cadaveric specimens imply real anatomical data. The company is based in France ("6 Allée de Bethléem 38610 Gières France"), so it's reasonable to assume the studies were conducted there or in collaboration with institutions in other countries, but the specific country of origin for the cadaveric data is not stated. The studies were likely performed retrospectively on collected cadaveric data, not prospectively in a clinical setting.
3. Number and Qualifications of Experts:
- Number of experts: Not specified.
- Qualifications of experts: Not specified. The testing involves "surgeons" in a simulated use context, but their experience or specific role in establishing ground truth is not detailed.
4. Adjudication Method:
- Not specified. Given the nature of the "system accuracy verification" tests, it's more likely that the "ground truth" was established through physical measurements on the cadaveric specimens and/or comparison to the source CT data, rather than through expert image review adjudication.
5. MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No specific MRMC comparative effectiveness study is mentioned in the provided text. The testing described focuses on system accuracy and validation, not on how human readers/surgeons improve with the AI vs. without AI assistance. This device is a navigation system aiding a surgeon during a procedure, not primarily an AI algorithm for diagnostic image interpretation.
6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only):
- No specific standalone performance study is explicitly described in terms of an algorithm working without human interaction for a diagnostic or predictive task. The mentioned "System accuracy verification via comparison of system outputs to CT-scan data" relates to the device's ability to display information accurately based on CT data, which is a component of its overall function, but not typically reported as a "standalone algorithm" performance in the context of diagnostic AI. The device is intended for human-in-the-loop use (surgeon guidance).
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- For the "System accuracy verification via comparison of system outputs to CT-scan data collected during simulated use via evaluation with cadaveric specimens," the ground truth was likely established by:
- High-resolution CT-scan data: Used as the reference for anatomical structures.
- Physical measurements/known geometries: For bench testing and potentially for certain structures on the cadaveric specimens.
- Simulated surgical outcomes: Comparing the system's guidance to a desired anatomical alignment.
- It is not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the usual sense for a diagnostic AI.
8. Sample Size for Training Set:
- Not specified. The document does not describe the specific development of an AI algorithm with a training set. The device is a "stereotaxic navigation system" and "preoperative planning tool," which suggests a more traditional software engineering approach (rules-based, image processing, 3D reconstruction) rather than a deep learning model requiring vast training datasets and associated ground truth.
9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established:
- Not applicable / not specified. As above, the text doesn't describe a machine learning model that would require a "training set" with established ground truth in the typical AI sense. The "ground truth" here refers to the accuracy of the system's displayed information relative to real anatomy or CT data.

The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for use 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 proposed Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder Compression Screws. Glenosphere Locking Screw, and Locking Cap devices represent a modification of the predicate Exactech Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder Compression Screws, Glenosphere Locking Screw, and Locking Cap (K063569 and K110708) used in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. All devices were cleared via 510(k) K063569 except the 50mm and 54mm Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder Compression Screws. These sizes were cleared via 510(k) K110708. The only difference between the proposed Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder Compression Screws, Glenosphere Locking Screw, and Locking Cap and predicate Equinoxe Compression Screws, Glenosphere Locking Screw, and Locking Cap is the sterilization method. The predicate compression screws, glenosphere locking screw, and locking cap are provided sterile via gamma radiation. The modified compression screws, glenosphere locking screw, and locking cap will be supplied non-sterile and must be sterilized by steam sterilization in a separately provided re-usable sterilization container prior to implantation. Cleaning and sterilization instructions are provided in the package insert for the Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System Screw Components.
This document describes a Special 510(k) submission for modifications to the Exactech® Equinoxe® Reverse Shoulder Compression Screws, Glenosphere Locking Screw, and Locking Cap. The core of the submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, primarily focusing on a change in sterilization method.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Preamble Information:
The document is a letter from the FDA regarding a K162325 submission for Exactech Inc. for the devices mentioned. The FDA has determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criterion | Reported Device Performance (as per submission) |
---|---|
Indications for Use (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same indications for use" |
Intended Use (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same intended use" |
Materials (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same materials" |
Design Features and Basic Fundamental Scientific Technology (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same design features and basic fundamental scientific technology" |
Dimensions (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same dimensions" |
Device Compatibility (same as predicate) | Confirmed: "The same device compatibility" |
Sterilization Method (modified from predicate) | Modified from gamma radiation (predicate) to steam sterilization (proposed). |
Pyrogenicity (for modified sterilization) | Met recommended limits per FDA's Guidance Document. |
Cleaning and Sterilization Effectiveness (for modified sterilization) | Assessed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify a sample size for a test set in the traditional sense of a clinical or imaging study. The "testing" primarily refers to bench testing related to the new sterilization method.
The data provenance is for engineering studies and pyrogen testing which focus on materials, design, and sterilization. There's no indication of human or animal data being used for this particular submission's testing. The devices are orthopedic implants, and the context of the submission is a modification to a previously cleared device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is not provided in the document. The studies referenced are engineering and pyrogenicity tests, which typically rely on standardized protocols and laboratory analysis rather than expert consensus on medical images or clinical outcomes.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided and is not applicable given the nature of the engineering and pyrogenicity testing described.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission focuses on a modification to an existing device (change in sterilization method), and the testing described is limited to demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of this specific modification through engineering studies and pyrogen testing.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This question is not applicable as the device is a physical orthopedic implant (reverse shoulder system components) and not an algorithm or AI-powered device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this submission is established through:
- Engineering specifications and standards: For material properties, dimensions, design features, and device compatibility, ensuring they remain the same as the predicate.
- Standardized testing protocols: For cleaning, sterilization effectiveness, and pyrogenicity (e.g., USP , USP , ANSI/AAMI ST72). The "ground truth" here is compliance with these predefined standards and the associated recommended limits.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that would have a training set. The "training" for this device would refer to the historical data and experience with the predicate devices, which are already marketed.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.
In summary:
The provided document describes a Special 510(k) where the primary "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria revolves around demonstrating that a change in sterilization method (from gamma radiation to steam sterilization) for components of an already cleared reverse shoulder system does not alter the fundamental characteristics, performance, safety, or effectiveness of the device. The acceptance criteria are met by proving that the modified components maintain the same indications for use, intended use, materials, design, dimensions, and compatibility as their predicate versions, and that the new sterilization method is effective and meets pyrogenicity standards through engineering and laboratory testing. This is a technical (bench) evaluation, not a clinical study involving human subjects, experts for ground truth, or statistical sample sizes in the context of clinical outcomes.

The Equinoxe Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for use 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 indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals with acute fracture of the proximal humerus and displacement of the tuberosities, displaced 3- and 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus (hemiarthroplasty), 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 proximal humerus in combination with degenerative diseases of the glenohumeral joint and a grossly deficient. irreparable rotator cuff resulting in superior migration of the humeral head (reverse total shoulder arthroplasty). The Equinoxe Platform Fracture Stem is indicated for cemented use only.
The proposed Equinoxe Superior/Posterior Augment Reverse Shoulder Glenoid Baseplates are modifications to augmented Equinoxe reverse shoulder glenoid baseplate devices cleared through premarket notification #K110708.
This submission proposes the following design changes:
-
- The proposed device combines a 10° superior augment and an 8° posterior augment previously provided as separate options in the scope of the cited predicate devices
-
- The cage peg length is increased to 21.5mm as compared to 17mm for the predicate 10° superior augment glenoid baseplate and 15.7mm for the predicate 8º posterior augment glenoid
This document is a marketing approval letter from the FDA for a medical device, the Exactech® Equinoxe® Reverse Shoulder System. It does not contain acceptance criteria or study results that prove the device meets acceptance criteria.
The letter acknowledges that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices, which means it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a device already on the market. This type of submission (510(k)) generally relies on demonstrating equivalence rather than providing new clinical data to prove safety and effectiveness.
The section titled "Non-Clinical Performance Data" mentions "Fixation assessment" and "Cyclic abduction loosening testing" but only provides the type of evaluation, not the acceptance criteria for these tests nor the results. Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information from this document.
To answer your request, I would need a different type of document that details the specific acceptance criteria for a device, the methodology of a study designed to meet those criteria, and the reported performance results of that study. This document only confirms the device's substantial equivalence to a previous version and lists its indications for use.
