- **Product Code:** [HSD](/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/HSD.md)
- **Decision Date:** Jul 13, 2001
- **Decision:** SESE
- **Submission Type:** Special
- **Regulation:** 21 CFR 888.3690
- **Device Class:** Class 2
- **Review Panel:** Orthopedic
- **Attributes:** Therapeutic

## Intended Use

Primary, secondary or post-traumatic osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, severe joint pain of osteoarticular origin compromising the patients quality of life, joints which are defective in shape and function, a revision intervention on a previous arthroplasty, and disorders in which arthrodesis is not an acceptable option.

## Device Story

The Aequalis Press-fit Shoulder Prosthesis is a metallic shoulder joint replacement system. This modification adds a larger diameter stem to the existing product range. The device consists of a titanium alloy humeral stem, a cobalt-chromium humeral head, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) glenoid components. It is intended for surgical implantation by orthopedic surgeons to replace damaged or diseased shoulder joints. The device functions as a mechanical prosthesis to restore joint shape and function, thereby alleviating pain and improving quality of life for patients with severe joint degeneration or following failed prior arthroplasty.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Humeral stem: Titanium alloy (6Al-4V-Ti) per ISO 5832-3, grit-blasted. Humeral head: Cobalt-Chromium alloy per ISO 5832-7. Glenoid components: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) per ISO 5834-1/2 with cobalt-chrome radiographic marker. System is a semi-constrained or uncemented humeral prosthesis.

## Regulatory Identification

A shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) metallic uncemented prosthesis is a device made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. It has an intramedullary stem and is intended to be implanted to replace the articular surface of the proximal end of the humerus and to be fixed without bone cement (§ 888.3027). This device is not intended for biological fixation.

## Predicate Devices

Dear Ms. Gossett:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Ms. Irene Gossett

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594- . Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR 807.97).
