## Intended Use

The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System is in a grossly rotator cuff deficient glenohumeral joint with severe arthropathy or a previously failed joint replacement with a gross rotator cuff deficiency. The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive the selected implant(s), and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device. The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System is indicated for primary, fracture, or revision total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff deficiency. (Humeral) Stems are intended for cemented or cementless applications for use with Arthrex Humeral SutureCups. The glenoid baseplate is CaP coated and is intended for cementless use with the addition of screws for fixation.

## Device Story

The Univers Revers Humeral Cup Implant is a metallic/polymer shoulder prosthesis component. It functions as part of the Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System to replace the humeral head in patients with severe rotator cuff deficiency. The device consists of size 33 humeral suture-cups, spacers, and inserts. It is implanted by an orthopedic surgeon during shoulder arthroplasty. The device provides a bearing surface to restore joint function and relieve pain. It is designed to be compatible with existing Arthrex humeral stems and glenoid baseplates. The system relies on the patient's deltoid muscle for joint stability and movement.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing of the PE liner/cup interface was performed per ASTM F1820 to demonstrate performance equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium and UHMWPE. Components: Humeral suture-cups, spacers, and inserts. Design: Size 33 (smallest size). Fixation: Compatible with cemented/cementless humeral stems and CaP-coated glenoid baseplates with screw fixation. Testing: ASTM F1820 for PE liner/cup interface.

## 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.

The patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally suited to receive<br>the selected implant(s), and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device.<br>The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System is indicated for primary, fracture, or revision total<br>shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff<br>deficiency.<br>(Humeral) Stems are intended for cemented of cementless applications for use with Arthrex Humeral<br>SutureCups. The glenoid baseplate is CaP coated and is intended for cementless use with the<br>addition of screws for fixation. |
| Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | The subject devices are made of the same materials as the predicates. The subject devices have the<br>same intended use/indications, packaging, shelf life and sterilization as the predicates. This submission<br>expands the size range of the cleared humeral components (suture cup, spacer, and inserts) by<br>introducing the smallest size 33 humeral implants.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Performance Data                               | Mechanical testing (i.e., PE liner/cup interface per ASTM F1820) was performed.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| Conclusion                                     | The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in which the basic design<br>features and intended use are the same. The mechanical testing data demonstrates that the subject<br>device performance is equivalent to the predicate device for the desired indications. Any differences<br>between the subject and the predicate device are considered minor and do not raise different<br>questions regarding safety or effectiveness.<br>Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and the summary of data submitted,<br>Arthrex Inc. has determined that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the currently<br>marketed predicate device.                                                                                                                                                                       |
