Hardware: The BLUEPRINT™ Glenoid Guides are patient-specific drill guides. They have been specially designed to assist in the intraoperative positioning of glenoid components used with total anatomic or reversed shoulder arthroplasty procedures using anatomic landmarks that are identifiable on patient-specific preoperative CT scans.

Software: Blueprint® is a medical device for surgeons. Blueprint® is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder replacement surgery. Blueprint® requires CT scan images showing the anatomical shoulder structure in a DICOM format. Blueprint® allows surgeons to visualize, measure, reconstruct, and annotate anatomic data. Blueprint® allows surgeons to design patient specific instruments and Tornier Perform patient-matched primary reversed glenoid*) based on the pre-surgical plan. Blueprint® leads to the generation of a planning report. Blueprint® is to be used for adult men and women patients only whose bone maturity is reached and should not be used for diagnostic purpose.

BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation is composed of two components: BLUEPRINT™ Glenoid Guides (hardware) and Blueprint® (software).

Hardware: The BLUEPRINT ™ Glenoid Guides are patient-specific instruments specially designed to facilitate the implantation of glenoid prostheses. The BLUEPRINT™ Glenoid Guides are designed and manufactured based on a pre-operative plan generated only by the software Blueprint®.

Software: Blueprint® is a software connected to an Online Management System (OMS). The user interface software is installed on a computer is intended to be used by orthopedic surgeons, as a preoperative planning software for shoulder arthroplasty surgery (anatomic and reversed). It is intended to help to plan an operation by allowing surgeons to: Plan for shoulder arthroplasty cases, Position and select glenoid and humeral implants, Simulate the prosthetic range of motion, Interact with implants and different computed measurements, Generate information required to design a patient-specific glenoid components when appropriate.

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for the BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation, which includes both hardware (Glenoid Guides) and software (Blueprint®). While it describes the device, its intended use, and comparison to predicate devices, it does not contain the detailed performance data or acceptance criteria typically found in a study report.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC study details. The document states that "Technological differences between the subject and predicate software devices are supported by software verification and validation activities. These activities include functional tests, validation and compatibility for new implant integration, as well as the validation and reproducibility of anatomical measures, planning measures, planning features, and segmentation." However, it does not present the results or specific criteria of these activities.

In the absence of a detailed study report within the provided text, I can only state that the document asserts that:

• Differences in design specifications do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness over the predicate device as demonstrated in validation testing.
• The subject device, the BLUEPRINT™ Patient Specific Instrumentation, does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
• Differences in technological characteristics have been addressed by software verification and validation activities.

To answer your request, a more detailed study report or validation protocol would be necessary.
