K214001 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the Comprehensive® Shoulder System, Comprehensive® Reverse Shoulder System. Classified as Shoulder Prosthesis, Reverse Configuration (product code PHX), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Biomet Manufacturing Corp (Warsaw, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 15, 2023 after a review of 449 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3660 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Orthopedic submissions.
