Class 2
Intended Use
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) are intended to be used to implant the DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Shoulder System Short Stem Shoulder, in accordance with its cleared indications for use and contraindications.
Device Story
Surgical instrumentation set for implantation of DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Shoulder System Short Stem Shoulder; includes humeral stem brosteotomes (8mm-16mm), stem wrench, 145°/155° proximal reaming guides, and bullet tip reamers. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings to prepare humeral bone for implant placement. Instruments facilitate reaming, sizing, and positioning of shoulder prosthesis. Reusable devices require user sterilization via prevacuum steam. Benefits include precise bone preparation for short-stem shoulder arthroplasty.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes sterilization efficacy (AAMI ST77, ISO 17665-1) and dry time validation. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (irritation/sensitization). Design validation conducted via cadaver testing to confirm acceptable performance for anatomic and reverse shoulder preparation.
Technological Characteristics
Material: 17-4 PH SST Stainless Steel. Reusable manual surgical instruments. Sterilization: Prevacuum steam (132°C, 4-minute cycle). Includes sterilization tray (cleared under K012105). No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as surgical instrumentation to implant the DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Shoulder System Short Stem Shoulder in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing 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).

Dear David Furr:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

## Description:
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) is intended only for use as surgical instrumentation for the DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Shoulder System Short Stem Shoulder. Tecomet manufactures this instrumentation exclusively for DePuy. The instrumentation is intended to be used with the GLOBAL UNITE Short Stem Shoulder System which was cleared separately under premarket notification K202098 (K202098 did not include instruments). The Tecomet GUSS instruments are a combination of Class I General Use Instruments, Class II Short Stem Shoulder-specific instruments and a Class II Sterilization Tray. The instruments include Humeral Stem Brosteotomes in 8mm-16mm sizes, a Stem Wrench, 155° Proximal Reaming Guides, 145° Proximal Reaming Guides, Bullet Tip Reamers and a sterilization tray. Although the tray is included in the system, it is not the subject of this premarket notification. The tray is already cleared by the Tecomet (Symmetry Medical) 510(k) K012105 (Polyvac Surgical Instrument Delivery System).
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) is all manufactured from 17-4 PH SST Stainless Steel. The instruments are exclusively for, and must be used in accordance with the DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Platform Anatomic and Reverse Shoulder Surgical Technique. The devices are reusable and must be sterilized by the user prior to use.

### Indications for Use:
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) are intended to be used to implant the DePuy GLOBAL UNITE Shoulder System Short Stem Shoulder, in accordance with its cleared indications for use and contraindications.
## Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) is substantially equivalent to the reaming, sizing and positioning instrumentation included in the GLOBAL UNITE Platform Shoulder System (K170748) and The DePuy Delta Xtend Reverse Shoulder System (K192855). The predicate devices are entire shoulder systems; however, the subject devices are only instruments. 145° reaming guide predicates were included in K170748 and 155° reaming guide predicates were under K192855.
The subject instruments and predicate instruments are made from the same material and are used in a similar fashion.

The following testing was conducted or is referenced to establish efficacy.
The Tecomet Global Unite Short Stem Instrumentation (GUSS) is identical in material to the corresponding predicate device instrumentation GLOBAL UNITE Platform Shoulder System. Cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5, Irritation testing per ISO 10993-10, Sensitization testing per ISO 10993-10 was conducted and justifications for not performing acute systemic toxicity and material mediated pyrogenicity testing were provided.
## Conclusion
The results of the non-clinical testing and evaluations have demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K170748, K192855).
