# Device Description:
e-Ortho Shoulder software is a web-based surgical planning software application. e-Ortho Shoulder provides a pre-surgical planning tool for surgeons that helps them understand their patient's anatomy prior to surgery. Compared to using two-dimensional (2D) images to plan a shoulder arthroplasty (current method used by FH-Orthopedic surgeons), e-Ortho supplies information to surgeons to help prepare an intraoperative plan. E-Ortho allows surgeons to work in three-dimensional (3D) visualization, implant visualization and positioning within the specific patient's bone model (scapula and humerus), using reliable landmarks. This allows surgeons to preoperatively select the needed implant and determine its desired position.
# Indications for Use:
E-Ortho shoulder is intended to be used as an information tool to assist in the preoperative surgical planning and visualization of a primary total shoulder replacement.
# Substantial Equivalence:
The subject e-Ortho Shoulder Software is substantially equivalent to the following predicate: JointPoint, Inc. JointPoint - K160284
{4}------------------------------------------------
Both the subject and predicate devices are image processing softwares intended to aid in planning and positioning orthopedic components during orthopedic surgical procedures by using radiographic imaging to map anatomic landmarks and dimensions. However, the major differences between the subject and predicate device are that the subject e-Ortho software is only intended to be use before surgery as a preplanning tool, while the predicate JointPoint covers a broader range of the surgical workflow. However, the indications for use for the predicate fully encompass the indications for use of e-Ortho Shoulder software. Therefore, this difference does not alter the intended use or otherwise raise new questions compared to the predicate. Additionally, the subject e-Ortho Shoulder software is specific in its indication for arthroscopic total shoulder replacement procedures, while the predicate device is specific to total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and intertrochanteric fracture reduction procedures . However, this minor difference in anatomical location does not alter the intended use of the device and thus, does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Both the subject and predicate softwares include software prediction of optimal implant sizing as a preoperative planning tool. While e-Ortho's software will be used to provide implant sizing and selection recommendations to the surgeon, the inputs of these recommendations are not generated by the software like JointPoint. Rather, the analysis of the patient CT Scans are performed by an e-Ortho engineer after CT scans are uploaded by the surgeon is then able to virtually visualize potential placement implants but using landmarks populated into the e-Ortho software by the e-Ortho engineer, enabling the surgeon to choose the optimal implant type, sizing, and position. All implant selection and sizing options are specific to previously cleared FH Orthopedic shoulder implants and sizes from the FH Orthopedic Arrow Anatomic and Arrow Reverse shoulder systems. While an e-Ortho engineer provides inputs via the e-Ortho software, the chosen procedure is the responsibility of the Surgeon. Prior to any shoulder surgery, the surgeon should evaluate and validate the appropriateness of the procedure to the specific patient based on his/her medical training.
As discussed above, subject e-Ortho Shoulder software is similar to the predicate with respect to intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation. Thus, it can be concluded that the subject does not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.
# Performance Testing:
In order to ensure the performance of the e-Ortho throughout the project's development, a verification and validation process has been established and conducted per IEC 62304. The verification process was implemented through multiple test campaigns and was carried out by various evaluators and environments to verify the functional components of the subject device. The validation process was implemented through a usability test campaign, with critical features requiring validation by multiple surgeons. The result of the validation tests coincides with the expected results for each test case and no test failed. Additional accuracy testing was carried out to guarantee the performance of e-Ortho.
# Conclusion
The e-Ortho Shoulder software is shown to be substantially equivalent to its predicate, JointPoint. The subject software has similar intended uses, indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences in indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, performance data demonstrate that e-Ortho raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the e-Ortho Shoulder software is substantially equivalent.
