## Intended Use

The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated for use in a grossly rotator cuff deficient glenohumeral joint with severe arthropathy or a previous failed joint replacement with 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 glenoid baseplate is CaP coated and is intended for cementless use with the addition of screws for fixation. The uncoated cup and stem are intended for cemented use, all other components are for cementless use only.

## Device Story

Reverse shoulder prosthesis system; inverted articular design compared to traditional total shoulder arthroplasty. Components: titanium humeral stem/epiphysis (uncoated or CaP coated), titanium spacer, UHMWPE humeral cup liner, TPS/CaP coated titanium glenoid baseplate, cobalt chrome glenosphere, titanium screws. Used in orthopedic surgery; implanted by surgeons to replace damaged glenohumeral joint. Provides mechanical joint stability in patients with rotator cuff deficiency; relies on deltoid muscle function for movement. Benefits: restores joint function and reduces pain in patients unsuitable for standard anatomical shoulder replacement.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Mechanical testing demonstrated fatigue strength substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium, cobalt chrome, UHMWPE, CaP coating, TPS coating. Design: Reverse shoulder prosthesis (inverted articular geometry). Fixation: Cemented (uncoated cup/stem) or cementless (baseplate with screws).

## Regulatory 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).

| <b>Intended Use</b>                            | The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis is indicated for<br>use in a grossly rotator cuff deficient glenohumeral joint<br>with severe arthropathy or a previous failed joint<br>replacement with gross rotator cuff deficiency. The<br>patient's joint must be anatomically and structurally<br>suited to receive the selected implant(s), and a functional<br>deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device.<br><br>The glenoid baseplate is CaP coated and is intended for<br>cementless use with the addition of screws for fixation.<br><br>The uncoated cup and stem are intended for cemented<br>use, all other components are for cementless use only. |
| <b>Substantial Equivalence Summary</b>         | The Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System is<br>substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in which<br>the basic features and intended uses are the same.
