The Preview Shoulder software is intended to be used as a tool for orthopedic surgeons to develop
pre-operative shoulder plans based on a patient CT imaging study.
The import process allows the user to select a DICOM CT scan series from any location that the
user's computer sees as an available file source.
3D digital representations of various implant models are available in the planning software. Preview
Shoulder allows the user to digitally perform the surgical planning by showing a representation of the
patient's shoulder anatomy as a 3D model and allows the surgeon to place the implant in the
patient's anatomy.
The software allows the surgeon to generate a report, detailing the output of the planning activity.
Experience in usage and a clinical assessment are necessary for a proper use of the software. It is
to be used for adult patients only and should not be used for diagnostic purposes.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
