| K232425 | Signature™
ONE System | Zimmer CAS |
## Purpose and Device Description:
The Signature™ ONE System is developed to assist in pre-operative planning (using the Signature™ ONE Planner) and to accurately transfer a pre-operative plan to orthopedic surgical procedures (using the Signature™ ONE Guides and bone model) if desired in skeletally mature individuals for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. Both anatomic and reverse (TSA and RSA respectively) approaches are supported.
The Signature ONE Guides and Bone Models are designed and manufactured of polyamide (nylon) using additive manufacturing selective laser sintering (SLS), based on the approved/finalized pre-surgical plan and shipped prior to surgery. The guides and bone models are provided non-sterile and sterilized at the hospital. They are used intraoperatively to assist the surgeon in reproducing the plan on the scapula. The Signature ONE System surgical technique remains close to the conventional shoulder arthroplasty workflow.
The Signature™ ONE System uses a Non-Device Medical Device Data System (MDDS) called the Zimmer Biomet 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 purpose of the submission is that the CT Reconstruction internal software application was updated with an improved AI/ML locked model for automatic segmentation and also retraining the model with new production grade scapula and humerus CT segmentations. The AI/ML model is used in the Segmentation step only within the CT Reconstruction internal software application prior to manual segmentation performed by the Zimmer Biomet operator. The use of AI has not changed since predicate K232425. In addition, the Landmarking step within the internal software application was updated with option to select additional configurable landmarks in the Planning application (used to determine the reference coordinate systems to provide native bone information).

K260104 - Page 3 of 5
The overall Intended Use, Indications for Use, manufacturing process, materials, sterilization methods, principle of operation, and software workflow have not changed from the predicate K232425.
## Indications for 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 designed for use on a skeletally mature patient population. The targeted population has the same characteristics as the population that is suitable for the implants compatible with the Signature™ ONE System.
The Signature™ ONE System is to be used with the glenoid components of the following shoulder implant systems in accordance with their indications and contraindications: Zimmer® Trabecular Metal Reverse Plus® Shoulder, Comprehensive® Total Shoulder System, Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System, Comprehensive® Reverse Augmented Baseplates and Alliance® Glenoid System.
The Signature™ ONE System pre-operative planning is also compatible with the humeral components of the following shoulder implant systems in accordance with their indications and contraindications: Comprehensive® Total Shoulder System, Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System, and Identity™ Shoulder System.
The Signature™ ONE System Guides and bone models are intended for single use only.
## Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics:
- Intended Use/ Indications for Use: Same as predicate device
- Principle of Operation: The subject and predicate devices both utilize pre-operative images, and
{7}
K260104 - Page 4 of 5
intraoperative guidance of instruments. The Principle of Operation remains unchanged since device clearance in K232425.
- Guides/Bone Models: The subject and predicate device utilize 3D printing (SLS) to manufacture the guides. The guides are non-sterile single use and have a shelf life of 6 months. The existing guides and bone models remain unchanged since predicate clearance K232425.
- Technological Characteristics: The subject and predicate device have similar technological characteristics (e.g. image modality, anatomical site, hardware components, and input file type) from the predicate device cleared in K232425.
- Software Workflow: The subject and predicate device utilize internal manufacturing software applications and an external software planning application that the surgeon interacts with to review, modify and approve the plan. The overall fundamental software workflow is identical between the subject and predicate device in that CT DICOM images are triaged, segmentation of the image occurs, landmarks are placed on the 3D reconstructed bone model, planning/approval by the surgeon and creation of the guide and bone model. The workflow remains unchanged from the predicate device K232425.
- Software Output: The AI/ML model used in the Segmentation step within the CT Reconstruction internal software application was updated by retraining the model with production grade scapula and humerus CT segmentations where as in the predicate the AI/ML model was trained with production grade scapula scans and the humerus scans were exploratory quality used to develop the model. The Landmarking step within the internal software application was updated with option to select additional configurable landmarks, and like the predicate uses existing landmarks to determine the reference coordinate systems to provide native bone information.
## Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical):
The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
## Device Performance Testing:
{8}
K260104 - Page 5 of 5
Verification and Validation Testing for Signature™ ONE System was conducted with the following aspects:
- Performance Tests: Performance tests documented to ensure the performance of the implemented features and verify related design inputs.
- Engineering Analysis: Analysis documented to ensure the performance of the implemented features and verify related design inputs.
- Usability Engineering: Performance of the system in regards to human factors engineering. This remains unchanged and applicable from the predicate K232425.
- Validation: Validation performed to validate related user needs, intended use and safety and effectiveness. This remains unchanged and applicable from the predicate K232425.
## Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software tests were conducted to satisfy the Enhanced Level of Documentation per requirements of Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff issued on June 14, 2023 and IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software- Software Life Cycle Processes). The testing demonstrates that the Signature™ ONE System does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate devices.
## Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The proposed and predicate device have the same Intended Use and Indications for Use, principle of operation, Guides/Bone Models, similar technological characteristics and same software workflow. The new AI/ML model for automatic segmentation is used in the same way as the predicate device. The additional configurable landmarks in the Landmarking step does not change the existing landmarking application and the overall software workflow remains the same as the predicate device. In summary, any differences between the devices does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device.

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.
