Intended Use

The Equinoxe Shoulder System is indicated to relieve pain and restore function in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint where total or hemi- arthroplasty is determined by the surgeon to be the preferred method of treatment. The cemented primary humeral stem, long/revision stem, fracture stem, and both the pegged and keeled glenoids are intended for cemented fixation only. The press-fit stems are intended for press-fit applications but may be used with bone cement if deemed appropriate by the surgeon. The long/revision stem is advised when the distal bone quality is insufficient to adequately anchor the primary stems (typically as a result of mid-humeral fractures). The fracture stem is advised for 3 & 4 part fractures of the proximal humerus. All components are supplied sterile.

Device Story

The Equinoxe Shoulder System is a modular orthopedic implant set for hemi-shoulder and total-shoulder joint replacement. It consists of humeral stems (primary, long/revision, fracture), humeral heads, glenoids, replicator plates, and screws. The system is used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace damaged or fractured glenohumeral joints. Components are either cemented or press-fit into the bone to restore joint function and relieve pain. The modular design allows surgeons to select specific components based on the patient's fracture pattern or degenerative condition. The device provides a mechanical replacement for the natural joint, facilitating patient mobility and pain reduction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Safety and efficacy were demonstrated through mechanical tests and engineering analyses evaluating design rationale and performance characteristics.

Technological Characteristics

Modular shoulder prosthesis system comprising humeral stems, heads, and glenoids. Materials are metal and polymer. Fixation methods include cemented and press-fit. Components are supplied sterile. Design features include modular eccentric humeral heads and both pegged and keeled glenoid options.

Indications for Use

Indicated for skeletally mature individuals with glenohumeral joint degenerative diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, post-traumatic degeneration, congenital abnormalities) or fractures (displaced 3/4-part proximal humeral fractures, mid-humeral fractures). Also indicated for revision of failed humeral prostheses or previous reconstructions, and to restore mobility from previous procedures (e.g., fusion).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing 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).

The system includes various sizes and types of modular humeral stems, humeral heads, glenoids, replicator plates, and screws for use in primary, revision, and fracture applications. #### Intended Use: The cemented primary humeral stem, long/revision stem, fracture stem, and both the pegged and keeled glenoids are intended for cemented fixation only. The press-fit stems are intended for press-fit applications but may be used with bone cement if deemed appropriate by the surgeon. The long/revision stem is advised when the distal bone quality is insufficient to adequately anchor the primary stems (typically as a result of mid-humeral fractures). The fracture stem is advised for 3 & 4 part fractures of the proximal humerus. All components are supplied sterile. #### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence: The devices that compose the Equinoxe® Shoulder System are manufactured from similar materials and have similar design features as competitive devices that have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for equivalent indications. Specifically, the Equinoxe® press-fit humeral stems are substantially equivalent to the Tornier Aequalis (K980244), the Zimmer (Sulzer) Anatomica (K003801), the Plus Orthopedic PROMOS (K032126), and the Arthrex (K010124) press-fit humeral stems. The Equinoxe cemented humeral (short & long) stems are substantially equivalent to the Plus Orthopedic PROMOS (K032126), the Depuy Global (K992065), and the Arthrex (K010124) press-fit humeral stems. The Equinoxe fracture humeral stems are substantially equivalent to the Tornier Fracture (K994392, K003728, K032679), and the Depuy Global FX (K011099 & K984541) fracture humeral stems. The modular eccentric humeral heads are substantially equivalent to the Depuy Global (K974044 & K992065), the Stryker Howmedica Osteonics Solar (K001419), the Tornier Aequalis (K012212), and the Zimmer (Sulzer) Anatomica (K990137) eccentric humeral heads. Finally, the Equinoxe cemented pegged and keeled glenoids are substantially equivalent to the Tornier Aequalis (K994393), the Encore Foundation (K960906), the Plus Orthopedic PROMOS (K032126), the Zimmer (Sulzer) Anatomica (K990136), and the Depuy Global (K981487) cemented glenoids. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "Exactech" in a bold, sans-serif font.

Test reports detail: 1) the design rationale for each of the devices that compose the Equinoxe shoulder system; 2) the methodology used to demonstrate how these devices were determined to be safe and effective; 3) the results from these mechanical tests and engineering analyses, and 4) the interpretations of the data. Collectively, the reports demonstrate the devices that compose the Equinoxe shoulder system perform as intended and are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced in this submission. #### Conclusions: The Exactech Equinoxe® Shoulder System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices with similar indications for use. A comparison of design features, implant scope, critical dimensions, and manufacturing materials indicate that the proposed system has similar fundamental scientific technology and the same intended use as the referenced predicate devices. The safety of the proposed system is further demonstrated by the results of numerous mechanical tests and engineering analyses that have been reported in this submission; collectively, these reports demonstrate the effectiveness of the design. For these reasons, we conclude the Equinoxe Shoulder System is safe and effective when used as intended. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
