Intended Use
The components of Bio-Modular® Shoulder System included in this submission are intended for total shoulder joint arthroplasty. Indications for use include: 1) Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis 2) Rheumatoid arthritis 3) Revision where other devices or treatments have failed 4) Correction of functional deformity 5) Fractures of the proximal humerus, where other methods of treatment are deemed inadequate 6) Difficult clinical management problems, including cuff arthropathy, where other methods of treatment may not be suitable or may be inadequate Devices with surface coatings are indicated for cemented or uncemented biological fixation application. Polyethylene glenoid components not attached to a metal back are indicated for cemented application only.
Device Story
Bio-Modular Shoulder System is a modular total shoulder replacement prosthesis. Components include humeral stem, modular humeral head, and glenoid component (metal-backed or all-polyethylene). Humeral stem features biplaner taper for stress transfer, lateral fin for rotational stability, and collar to minimize subsidence. Proximal stems are circumferentially porous coated for biological fixation. Reverse Morse taper allows attachment of modular, offset, or bi-polar humeral heads. Metal-backed glenoid components use central peg and optional screws for fixation; all-polyethylene components are for cemented use. Device is implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/OR setting to replace the shoulder joint, restore function, and alleviate pain from degenerative disease, arthritis, or fractures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing demonstrating mechanical performance under expected clinical conditions and characterization of the porous surface.
Technological Characteristics
Modular shoulder prosthesis consisting of humeral stem, modular heads, and glenoid components. Materials include metal and polymer. Features include reverse Morse taper, biplaner taper, lateral fin, and circumferential porous coating for biological fixation. Cemented or uncemented application depending on component type. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total shoulder joint arthroplasty due to non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, revision of failed prior treatments, functional deformity, proximal humerus fractures, or complex conditions like cuff arthropathy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral 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).

Device Description: The Bio-Modular® Shoulder System consists of a humeral stem that is used in conjunction with a modular head and a metal backed or all polyethylene glenoid component. The Humeral Component is available in various lengths and porous coating levels. The Bio-Modular® Humeral stern features a biplaner taper to promote stress transfer down the length of the stem. Each stem has a lateral fin to provide rotational stability. Holes in the fin provide the surgeon with the option of suture attachment during fracture reconstruction. A collar minimizes subsidence. The stems are circumferentially porous coated proximally to provide fixation by tissue ingrowth.

Dear Ms. Beres:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
