Indications for Use
The PRIMA humeral system is intended for partial or total, primary or revision, shoulder joint replacement in skeletally mature patients. The patient's joint must be anatomically suited to receive the selected implants and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device. The PRIMA Stem is intended for use in cementless and cemented applications, at the discretion of the surgeon. The PRIMA Anatomic implant is indicated for partial or total, primary or revision shoulder joint replacement, in patients suffering from pain and disability due to: Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (i.e. osteoarthritis), Inflammatory arthritis of the glenohumeral join including rheumatoid arthritis, Avascular necrosis of the humeral head, Traumatic/post-traumatic arthritis, Fractures of the humeral head where adequate fixation can be achieved and adequate bone stock remains, Post-fracture deformity with intact rotator cuff, where adequate fixation can be achieved and adequate bone stock remains, Cuff tear arthropathy (CTA Heads only). The PRIMA Reverse implant is indicated for primary reverse total shoulder replacement or for revision when converting an anatomic PRIMA arthroplasty to a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (i.e. in case of cuff tear arthropathy or in a grossly rotator cuff deficiency joint with severe arthropathy). Revision surgery with retention of the PRIMA Stem is intended as conversion surgery from anatomic to reverse, where the PRIMA Stem is stable, well positioned and tissue integrated. Other revisions of the humeral prosthesis part should be treated with traditional shoulder prostheses. The PRIMA reverse implant is indicated for patients suffering from pain and disability due to: Rotator cuff tear arthropathy, Osteoarthritis with rotator cuff tear, Rheumatoid arthritis with rotator cuff tear, Massive irreparable rotator cuff tear, Avascular necrosis of the humeral head, Correction of functional deformity, where adequate fixation can be achieved and adequate bone stock remains, Fractures of the humeral head where adequate fixation can be achieved and adequate bone stock remains. The PRIMA Humeral System consists of the following single use components: Anatomic configuration: stem, adaptor for humeral heads. Reverse configuration: stem, reverse tray and reverse insert. The PRIMA Humeral System is intended to be used with all SMR glenoids implants. The SMR Shoulder System is intended for partial or total, primary or revision shoulder joint replacement. The SMR Anatomic Shoulder System is indicated for partial or total, primary or revision shoulder joint replacement in patients suffering from disability due to: non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis; treatment of acute fractures of the humeral head that cannot be treated with other fracture fixation methods; revision of a failed primary implant; in case of SMR Short Stems only if sufficient bone stock remains); cuff tear arthropathy (CTA Heads only); glenoid arthrosis without excessive glenoid bone loss: A1, A2 and B1 according to Walch classification (SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid only). The SMR Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for primary, fracture or revision total shoulder replacement in a grossly rotator cuff deficient joint with severe arthropathy (disabled shoulder). The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implants and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device. The SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid Reverse Baseplate must not be used in cases of excessive glenoid bone loss and/or when bone graft is needed.

- treatment of acute fractures of the humeral head that cannot be treated with other fracture fixation methods:
- revision of a failed primary implant; in case of SMR Short Stems only if sufficient bone stock remains):
- cuff tear arthropathy (CTA Heads only); ●
- glenoid arthrosis without excessive glenoid bone loss: A1. A2 and B1 according to . Walch classification (SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid only).
The SMR Reverse Shoulder System is indicated for primary, fracture or revision total shoulder replacement in a grossly rotator cuff deficient joint with severe arthropathy (disabled shoulder). The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implants and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device.
The SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid Reverse Baseplate must not be used in cases of excessive glenoid bone loss and/or when bone graft is needed.
The Modular SMR Shoulder System allows the assembly of components in various humeral and glenoid constructs. The constructs are intended for cemented and uncemented use as specified in the following table.
In the Anatomic shoulder the humeral construct consists of the humeral stem, the humeral body, the adaptor taper and the humeral head. In the Reverse shoulder the humeral construct consists of the humeral stem, the reverse humeral body and the reverse liner. On the humeral side the fixation of the humeral stem determines if the construct is cemented or uncemented.
The Anatomic glenoid construct consists of an all polyethylene glenoid, a polyethylene glenoid with metal peg or a metal back assembled with a liner; the Reverse glenoid consists peg/baseplate/glenosphere construct.
On the glenoid side, the fixation of the all polyethylene glenoid, the polyethylene glenoid with metal peg or the metal back determines if the construct is cemented or uncemented.

#### A= Anatomic / R=Reverse
*NOTE:
- When considering the humeral side, SMR Glenosphere Ø42 can be coupled only with PRIMA Humeral System.
- In the US, the SMR Metal Backed Glenoid/Liner construct, used as part of the SMR Anatomic ● Shoulder Replacement, is intended for use with bone cement and should be used without bone screws.
- The SMR Metal Backed Glenoid/Connector/Glenosphere construct, used as part of the SMR Reverse Shoulder replacement, is intended for uncemented use with the addition of screws for fixation.
- SMR Lateralized Connectors are not indicated for use with glenoid bone grafting techniques.
- In the US the SMR TT Metal Back Baseplate used as part of the SMR Anatomic Shoulder Replacement, is intended for use with bone cement and should be used without bone screws; while when used as part of the SMR Reverse Shoulder replacement, is intended for uncemented use with the addition of screws for fixation.
- . If a SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid is in place and revision to a reverse prosthesis is required, the patient can be revised by removing the polyethylene baseplate, leaving the metal peg in place and by connecting it to the SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid Reverse Baseplate. The SMR TT Hybrid Glenoid Reverse Baseplate is intended for uncemented use with the addition of screws for fixation.
- . The Dia. 50, 52 and 54mm Humeral Heads with + 3mm increased height cannot be coupled to the Long Adaptor Tapers (both concentric and eccentric). The Dia. 52 and 54mm Humeral Heads with + 2mm increased height cannot be coupled to the Long Adaptor Tapers (both concentric and eccentric).

#### Predicate Devices:
The PRIMA Humeral System is substantially equivalent in materials, indications, function and/or performance to the following predicate devices:
| Product | Primary predicate devices | Additional predicate devices |
|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| PRIMA<br>Humeral System | DJO:<br>AltiVate Reverse Humeral<br>Stem (K190290) | DJO, AltiVate Anatomic™ Shoulder System (K162024) DJO, AltiVate Reverse Humeral Stem, AltiVate Reverse Small Spacer, Altivate Reverse, Small Hemi-Adapter, AltiVate Reverse, Small Socket Insert (K172351) DJO, AltiVate Anatomic to Reverse Conversion Module (K173073) TORNIER, Aequalis Ascend Flex (K122698) TORNIER, PERFORM Humeral System - Stem (K201315) |
The following predicate devices were chosen for the subject SMR Glenosphere Ø42:
| Product | Primary predicate devices | Other predicate devices |
|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| SMR<br>Glenosphere<br>Ø42 | LimaCorporate Spa, SMR Reverse<br>Shoulder System (K110598) | TORNIER, Aequalis Ascend<br>Flex (K122698) |
#### Summary of technology comparison:
PRIMA Humeral System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified. The PRIMA Stem has many design features similar to the predicates, as the minimal lateral length, the humeral neck angle, the option to couple with the other components, antirotational stability solutions, and the porous coating. The porous coating is a Trabecular Titanium external structure, which is the same Trabecular Titanium structure of the device previously cleared via K133349.
All devices are made of the same metal material.
The Reverse Insert has same design of the PERFORM Humeral System (K201315), and the other predicates have similar features. The subject device is made of Vit E poly as the predicates K162024, K172351, K173073, K190290 and of metal as the predicate K122698. The Reverse Insert has more diameters as the predicate devices K162024. K172351, K173073, K190290 and has more thicknesses as the predicate K122698.
{12}------------------------------------------------
The reverse tray has the same features of the basic ones of the PERFORM Humeral System , is made of the same material, but has more sizes as the PERFORM Humeral System. The adaptor has a double male taper and an eccentricity as the PERFORM Humeral System; both are made of titanium and have different sizes and offsets.
All components are provided sterile. The methods used for the subject devices are commonly used in orthopedic prosthesis and are the same used for the predicates K162024. K172351. K173073. K190290: rays for metal components. EtO for poly components.
SMR Glenosphere Ø42 has identical technological characteristics and design of K110598, except for the new diameter size, that is the same of the Tornier Glehosphere (K081016).
The predicates and the PRIMA Humeral System have substantially equivalent intended uses and indications for use. In details, all indications for use of PRIMA Humeral System are the same provided for the DJO Altivate predicate. The TORNIER Aequalis Ascend Flex has the most of indication for use provided for the subject devices, except only for the "avascular necrosis of the humeral head" and for the "Cuff tear arthropathy" in anatomic configuration, and for the "Rotator cuff tear arthropathy" in reverse configuration. The TORNIER PERFORM Humeral System has similar indication for use then the subject devices, with few exceptions.
The indications for use for the subject SMR 42mm Glenosphere are identical to the indications for use of predicate device, K110598 the Limacorporate SMR Reverse Shoulder System; both the subject device and predicate K110598 are intended to be used for reverse shoulder replacement using components of the SMR Reverse Shoulder System according to the indications for use described for the SMR Reverse Shoulder System cleared via K110598. The indications for use of the subject device are also like those of the other cited predicate.
All subject and predicate devices have the same stem fixation.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
