This device is intended for use in patients requiring reconstruction of the proximal humerus due to extensive bone loss as a result of tumor resection secondary to primary or metastatic skeletal lesions. This device is intended for use with bone cement. This is the same intended use as the predicate device in premarket notification K954559 and K032264. ## Device Story Modular Replacement System (MRS) Humeral Stems are orthopedic implants designed for proximal humerus reconstruction following tumor resection. The device is a non-porous coated humeral stem used in conjunction with other MRS components and bone cement. This submission introduces an alternate cobalt-chromium alloy material with different metallurgical properties compared to previous versions, while maintaining the same design and intended use. The device is intended for surgical implantation by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/hospital setting to restore skeletal structure in patients with significant bone loss. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Non-porous coated humeral stem fabricated from cobalt-chromium alloy conforming to ASTM F-1537. Designed for use with bone cement. Metallic uncemented prosthesis classification (21 CFR 888.3690). ## 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 - MRS Humeral Stems ([K954559](/device/K954559.md)) - MRS Humeral Stems ([K032264](/device/K032264.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Special premarket notification K032264 expanded this product line to include non-porous coated humeral stems. Both of these stems are fabricated from cobaltchromium alloy that conforms to ASTM F-1537. It is the intention of Howmedica Osteonics Corp. to fabricate the non-porous coated humeral stems in the MRS system from a slightly different type of cobalt-chromium - this material also conforms to ASTM F-1537, but has Page 3 {1}------------------------------------------------ 040148 page 2 of 2 Special 510(k) Prem slightly different metallurgical properties. ### Intended Use The intended usc of the subject device is not changed by this material change: The subject humeral stems (MRS Humeral Stems without porous coating) are intended for use with the components of the Modular Replacement System Humeral System. This device is intended for use in patients requiring reconstruction of the proximal humcrus due to extensive bone loss as a result of tumor resection secondary to primary or metastatic skeletal lesions. This device is intended for use with bone cement. This is the same intended use as the predicate device in premarket notification K954559 and K032264. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
