## Indications for use
The hardware The Aequalis Glenoid Guides are patient-specific drill guides. They have been specially designed to assist in the intraoperative positioning of glenoid components used with total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty procedures using anatomic landmarks that are identifiable on patient-specific preoperative CT-scans. Aequalis PerFORM Anatomic Glenoid Guide is used by surgeons to facilitate the placement of the Aequalis PerFORM glenoids and the Aequalis PerFORM + glenoids. The software The BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is a medical device for surgeon composed of one software component. It is intended to be used as a pre-surgical planner for shoulder orthopedic surgery. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software runs on standard personal and business computers running Microsoft Windows or Mac OS operating systems. The software supports DICOM standard to import the CT-Scan (Computed Tomography) images of the patient. Only CT-Scan modality can be loaded with BLUEPRINT3D planning software. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software allows surgeon to visualize, measure, reconstruct, and annotate anatomic data. It allows surgeon to design patient specific guides based on the presurgical plan. This device is intended for use provided anatomic reference points necessary for positioning of the guide are present on the CT scan. The software leads to the generation of a surgery report along with a 3D file of the patient-specific guide. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software does not include any system to manufacture the guide. BLUEPRINT 3D planning software is to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for Diagnostic purpose.
