Intended Use

The Equinoxe® Shoulder Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System is indicated for Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures of the proximal humerus. Clinical indications are as follows: Fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus.

Device Story

The Exactech Equinoxe Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System is a metallic bone fixation implant used for internal stabilization of proximal humerus fractures. The system comprises plates, locking screws (cancellous and cortical), humeral blades, blade locking screws, and compression screws. It is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate bone healing through rigid fixation. The device provides mechanical support to the humerus during the post-operative rehabilitation and fracture healing process. It is supplied non-sterile and requires sterilization by the healthcare facility prior to implantation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical tests and simulated-use studies were performed to demonstrate that the device withstands clinically relevant biomechanical loads exerted on the humerus during post-operative rehabilitation and fracture healing.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed of 316L Stainless Steel per ASTM F138-08. System includes plates, locking screws, humeral blades, and compression screws. Provided non-sterile; requires facility-based sterilization. Mechanical fixation device; no software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) of the proximal humerus due to fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, or non-unions.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

implantation. Cleaning and Sterilization instructions are provided in the package insert for the Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System.

#### Indications for Use

The Equinoxe® Shoulder Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System is indicated for Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) procedures of the proximal humerus. Clinical indications are as follows:

- Fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal . humerus.
#### Summary of Technological Characteristics

The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics:

- Intended Use. Similar to the intended uses for its predicate devices. the Equinoxe® . Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System is intended to be used for internal fixation of fractures, fracture dislocations, osteotomies, and non-unions of the proximal humerus. Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System and predicate devices also have similar indications for use statements.
- Materials. Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System and predicate . devices are composed of equivalent materials conforming to recognized industry standards for orthopedic and trauma implants.
- . Dimensions. Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System and predicate device components are available in equivalent size ranges.
- Sterilization processes. Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System and . predicate devices are provided non-sterilized prior to implantation, using equivalent sterilization processes conforming to recognized industry standards.
- . Performance specifications. Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System and predicate devices withstand clinically relevant biomechanical loads that are exerted on the humerus during post-operative rehabilitation and fracture healing.

#### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

Results from mechanical tests and simulated-use studies provided within this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrate that Exactech® Equinoxe® Proximal Humerus Fracture Plate System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
