Intended Use
The Signature™ ONE System is indicated, based on patient-specific radiological images with identifiable placement anatomical landmarks, to assist in pre-operative planning and/or intra-operative guiding of surgical instruments for shoulder replacement surgical procedures on patients not precluded from being radiologically scanned. The Signature™ ONE System is to be used with the glenoid components of the following shoulder implant systems in accordance with their indications: Zimmer® Trabecular Metal™ Reverse Plus Shoulder, Comprehensive® Total Shoulder System, Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System and Comprehensive® Reverse Augmented Baseplates. The Signature™ ONE Guides and bone models are intended for single use only.
Device Story
System uses patient-specific radiological images to assist in pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance for shoulder replacement. Surgeon interacts with Signature™ ONE Planner to review, modify, and approve surgical plans. System generates patient-specific guides and bone models via additive manufacturing (selective laser sintering) using polyamide (nylon). Guides/models are shipped non-sterile to hospitals for sterilization and single-use intra-operatively. Workflow involves imaging technician, surgeon, and Zimmer Biomet operators using internal manufacturing software. System facilitates accurate transfer of pre-operative plan to surgical site; allows conversion to conventional technique if needed. Benefits include improved surgical planning and instrument guidance for glenoid component placement.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes biocompatibility (ISO 10993), sterilization/shelf-life validation, physical/performance testing, engineering analysis, usability engineering, and validation lab testing using cadaveric specimens to confirm safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyamide (nylon). Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing (selective laser sintering). Form factor: Patient-specific guides and bone models. Sterilization: Hospital-performed. Shelf life: 6 months. Software: Planning application and internal manufacturing software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing shoulder replacement surgery who are eligible for radiological scanning. Used to assist in pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance for glenoid component placement in anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

# Predicate Device(s):
## Purpose and Device Description:
The Signature™ ONE System is developed to assist in pre-operative planning of the glenoid component for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (using the Signature™ ONE Planner) and to accurately transfer a pre-operative plan to orthopedic surgical procedures (using the Signature™ ONE Guides) if desired. Both anatomic and reverse (TSA and RSA respectively) approaches are supported.
The Signature ONE Guides and Bone Model are designed and manufactured of polyamide (nylon) using additive manufacturing (selective laser sintering), based on the approved/finalized pre-surgical plan and shipped prior to surgery. The guides and bone models are provide nonsterile and sterilized at the hospital. They are used intraoperatively to assist the surgeon in reproducing the plan. The Signature ONE System surgical technique remains close to the conventional shoulder arthroplasty to allow converting to standard surgical technique at any time if needed during the operation.
The Signature™ ONE System uses the Zimmer Biomet Drive Portal for the interaction with external users (i.e. imaging technician and the surgeon). The internal users (i.e. the Zimmer Biomet operators) use manufacturing software applications to prepare the patient cases for the surgeon.

| | The Signature™ ONE Guides and Bone Models are<br>intended for single use only. |
| Differences in Indications for Use | The proposed device offers options specific to the<br>compatible implant components that are not present in the<br>primary predicate device |
| Summary of Technological<br>Characteristics: | The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on<br>consideration of the following characteristics:<br>The proposed and predicate device are intended to assist in<br>pre-operative planning and/or intraoperative guiding of<br>surgical instruments for shoulder replacement surgical procedures The proposed and predicate device both utilize preoperative<br>images, intraoperative guidance of instruments, and<br>assistance of glenoid component placement The proposed and predicate device utilize 3D printing (SLS) |
| | to manufacture the guides, the guides are non-sterile single-<br>use, and have a shelf life of 6 months<br>The proposed and predicate device utilize internal<br>manufacturing software applications and a planning<br>application that the surgeon interacts with to review, modify and approve the plan |
{6}------------------------------------------------
### Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)
The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
### Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for Signature™ ONE System was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993. The evaluation reveals that the Signature™ ONE System device meets biocompatibility requirements.
### Sterilization and Shelf-Life
This analysis was conducted to ensure that the cleaning and sterilization instructions for the Signature™ ONE System parts respect the acceptable residual levels that should be achieved by the cleaning and sterilization method, as required by the applicable standards. Testing was also conducted to ensure the acceptance criteria was met of the guides keeping their dimensional integrity throughout their shelf life of 6 months.
#### Device Performance Testing
Verification and Validation Testing for Signature™ ONE System was conducted with the following aspects:
- Physical/Performance Tests- to ensure the performance of o the implemented features and verify related design inputs
- Engineering Analysis- to ensure the performance of the o implemented features and verify related design inputs
- Usability Engineering- addressed user interactions with the O Signature™ ONE System
- Validation Lab- performed to validate that using the O Signature™ ONE System is safe and effective and that the performances of the Signature™ ONE System are acceptable under full simulated use on cadaveric specimens
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software tests were conducted to satisfy the requirements of the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices and IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software- Life Cycle Process). The software is considered a "moderate" level of concern, a malfunction in the device could lead to a minor injury. The testing demonstrates that the Signature™ ONE System does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device(s).
### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The proposed and predicate device(s) have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics and the same principles of operation. The proposed device offers options specific to the compatible implant components that are not present in the predicate device as well as the option for the user to end the preoperative workflow after planning without ordering guides. In addition, the proposed device pin guide provides a larger contact surface than found on the predicate device. In sum, any differences between the devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device(s).
