The ReUnion RFX System includes a Reversible Fracture Stem) that can utilize either the ReUnion Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) or ReUnion Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) humeral and glenoid components and is indicated for use as a hemi, total or reverse shoulder replacement. The ReUnion RFX stem is intended use only.

When used with ReUnion TSA Humeral & Glenoid Components

The ReUnion RFX System, when used with ReUnion TSA Humeral and Glenoid components, is indicated for use as a Hemi or Total Shoulder Replacement:

• · Aseptic necrosis of the humeral head.
• · Painful, disabling joint disease of the shoulder resulting from: degenerative arthritis, or posttraumatic arthritis.
• · Proximal humeral fractures and/or dislocation.
• · Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results.
• · Revision of previous unsuccessful total shoulder replacement, resurfacing or other procedure.

In the case of revision, when ReUnion RFX humeral stems are well fixed, the system is indicated for conversion to a total shoulder arthroplasty. In conjunction with ReUnion TSA humeral and glenoid components, if the natural grovides sufficient bone stock, ReUnion RFX humeral stems can be converted from a hemiarthroplasty to a total shoulder arthroplasty, as well as revised from an existing total shoulder arthroplasty total shoulder arthroplasty. It is also indicated for conversion to a hemiarthroplasty. In conjunction with ReUnion TSA humeral components, ReUnion RFX humeral stems can be converted from a total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty as well as revised from an existing hemiarthroplasty to a secondary hemiarthroplasty, in treatment of previously failed shoulder arthroplasty cases where revision to a reverse shoulder arthroplasty is inappropriate.

The glenoid components are intended for cemented use only.

This Traditional 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market additional components to the ReUnion RSA, TSA and RFX Systems, previously cleared via K161863.

ReUnion Reversible Fracture System (RFX)

The ReUnion Reversible Fracture System consists of a humeral fracture stem component which may be used in conjunction with TSA or RSA humeral and glenoid components for conventional total shoulder arthroplasty or reverse shoulder arthroplasty. It may also be used in conjunction with TSA humeral components to articulate directly with the anatomic glenoid in a hemi-shoulder application. The device contains various number of suture holes. The stems have a female taper on the proximal end of the shaft to accept TSA and RSA Gleno-humeral components. It is designed to be used in cemented applications only.

ReUnion Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty System (RSA)

The ReUnion RSA Shoulder System is a system of components intended for total shoulder replacement in a reverse shoulder configuration. The system is comprised of a humeral cup, humeral insert, glenosphere, glenoid baseplate and screws. The Humeral Cup with the Humeral Insert are attached to the humeral side of the joint via the ReUnion TSA Humeral Stem while the Glenosphere is implanted with the Glenoid Baseplate onto the glenoid side of the joint fixated with locking Center and Peripheral Screws.

ReUnion Total Shoulder Arthroplasty System (TSA)

The Reunion Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) System is intended for shoulder arthroplasty. The components of this system consist of humeral stems, a modular humeral neck adapter, single radius humeral heads, and self-pressurizing glenoids (SPG). The humeral stem is offered in both cemented and cementless designs. The cementless humeral stem design features a circumferential Ti-plasma spray and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating at the proximal end and the cemented humeral stems have no coating at the proximal end. These humeral stems were designed to mate with the subject single radius humeral heads or the modular neck adapter, for compatibility with other marketed humeral heads. The self-pressuring glenoids (SPG) mate with the single radius heads. The SPGs are offered in both pegged and keeled configurations.

The provided document describes a 510(k) Premarket Notification for various shoulder arthroplasty systems (ReUnion Reversible Fracture System (RFX), ReUnion Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty System (RSA), and ReUnion Total Shoulder Arthroplasty System (TSA)).

It is crucial to understand that a 510(k) submission primarily demonstrates "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, not necessarily de novo clinical effectiveness or safety based on new clinical studies with defined acceptance criteria for device performance. In this specific document, the sponsor explicitly states that no clinical testing or non-clinical laboratory testing was required for this submission because they are seeking authorization to market additional components to systems already cleared via K161863, and the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared devices in terms of intended use, material, design, and operational principles.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, ground truth establishment, or clinical performance metrics for proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic device.

Here's a breakdown of why the requested information cannot be found in this document:

• This is a 510(k) for orthopedic implants (shoulder arthroplasty systems), not an AI/algorithm-based diagnostic device. The questions posed are standard for evaluating AI/ML medical devices, which typically rely on performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC, etc., on test datasets with established ground truth.
• The basis of this 510(k) is substantial equivalence to a previously cleared similar device (K161863). The document directly states: "This Traditional 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market additional components to the ReUnion RSA, TSA and RFX Systems, previously cleared via K161863."
• No new clinical data or non-clinical laboratory data was required for this submission. The document explicitly states:
  • "Non-clinical laboratory testing was not required for this submission." (Page 10, K172210 Page 4/5)
  • "Clinical testing was not required for this submission." (Page 10, K172210 Page 5/5)

In summary, there is no study described in this document that proves the device meets acceptance criteria in the manner an AI device would, because this is an orthopedic implant and the submission relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate, not new performance data.
