Intended Use

The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is intended for use as: a replacement of shoulder joints in primary anatomic or in primary reverse a replacement of other shoulder joints devices in case of revisions if sufficient bone stock remains. The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System also allows for conversions from anatomic to reverse shoulder prosthesis in case of revision.

Device Story

Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is a semi-constrained shoulder prosthesis; used for total shoulder replacement or hemiarthroplasty. System includes titanium humeral stems (coated/uncoated), cobalt-chrome (CoCr) humeral heads, and UHMWPE glenoid components. Reversed configuration utilizes a titanium tray, UHMWPE insert, and CoCr/titanium glenoid components. Device implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to relieve pain and restore mobility. Subject submission adds 135° and 140° reversed angle combinations and an 'Inlay' surgical technique to existing 145° options. Implants function by replacing damaged joint surfaces; reversed configuration shifts center of rotation to compensate for rotator cuff deficiency. Benefits include pain relief and improved joint function for patients with severe cuff pathology or failed prior arthroplasty.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via non-clinical bench testing, specifically fatigue testing for the new angle combinations in both anatomic and reversed configurations.

Technological Characteristics

Semi-constrained shoulder prosthesis. Materials: Titanium (humeral stems, baseplates, fixation screws), CoCr (humeral heads, glenoid spheres), UHMWPE (glenoid components, reversed inserts). Fixation: Cemented or cementless (coated stems), cemented only (non-coated stems, all-poly glenoids), non-cemented screw fixation (glenoid spheres). Modular design allows anatomic-to-reverse conversion. Single-use components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with shoulder joint disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), functional deformity, humeral head fractures, traumatic arthritis, or revision of other devices. Anatomic configuration requires intact/reconstructable rotator cuff. Reverse configuration requires functional deltoid muscle and massive, non-repairable rotator cuff tear.

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).

#### Device Description:

The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System is indicated for use as a replacement of shoulder joints for patients with a functional deltoid muscle and with massive and non-repairable rotator cuff-tear.

The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder System is intended to relieve pain and significant disability following massive and non repairable cuff-tear associated to arthropathy and following massive cuff-tear arthroplasty. It is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts.

The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System consists of:

- * In an Anatomic configuration: a titanium humeral stem offered in Titanium Plasma Spray (Ti PS) coated and un-coated stem versions, a compatible humeral head (CoCr) with a compatible UHMWPE Aequalis glenoid; or UHMWPE Affiniti Anatomic glenoid. The Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System stem and head may be used by themselves, as a hemiarthroplasty, if the natural glenoid provides a sufficient bearing surface, or in conjunction with a glenoid, as a total shoulder joint replacement.
- * In a Reversed configuration: a titanium humeral stem offered in Titanium Plasma Spray (Ti PS) coated and un-coated stem versions, a reversed adapter with compatible Aequalis

## Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The proposed changes to the predicate device include the addition of 135° & 140° reversed final angle and an alternate surgical option (Inlay), in addition to the existing 145° angle. These changes consist of added stem/ insert combinations without any change in the implants design. The subject device has the same design of implants, the same materials, the same manufacturing principle, the same method of fixation, the same packaging and the same sterilization process as the predicate device.

The new combinations do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness and are supported by performance testing.

### Non-clinical Performance Testing

Non-clinical bench testing and process validations were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device.

- Fatigue test in anatomic and reversed configuration .
## Clinical Testing

Clinical studies were not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence between the subject device and the predicate device.

#### Conclusions

The AequalisTM Ascend™ Flex Shoulder System does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. with performance testing. The results of performance testing for the new angle combinations of the Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System support substantial equivalence to the current Aequalis Ascend Flex Shoulder System (K122698, K151293).
