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).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) FDA's: (i) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ” (ii) “510(k) Sterility Review Guidance of 2/12/90 (K90-1),” (iii) “Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing Bone or Bone Cement,” (iv) “Guidance Document for the Preparation of Premarket Notification (510(k)) Application for Orthopedic Devices,” and (v) “Guidance Document for Testing Non-articulating, ‘Mechanically Locked’ Modular Implant Components,” (2) International Organization for Standardization's (ISO): (i) ISO 5832-3:1996 “Implants for Surgery—Metallic Materials—Part 3: Wrought Titanium 6-aluminum 4-vandium Alloy,” (ii) ISO 5832-4:1996 “Implants for Surgery—Metallic Materials—Part 4: Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum casting alloy,” (iii) ISO 5832-12:1996 “Implants for Surgery—Metallic Materials—Part 12: Wrought Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy,” (iv) ISO 5833:1992 “Implants for Surgery—Acrylic Resin Cements,” (v) ISO 5834-2:1998 “Implants for Surgery—Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene—Part 2: Moulded Forms,” (vi) ISO 6018:1987 “Orthopaedic Implants—General Requirements for Marking, Packaging, and Labeling,” and (vii) ISO 9001:1994 “Quality Systems—Model for Quality Assurance in Design/Development, Production, Installation, and Servicing,” and (3) American Society for Testing and Materials': (i) F 75-92 “Specification for Cast Cobalt-28 Chromium-6 Molybdenum Alloy for Surgical Implant Material,” (ii) F 648-98 “Specification for Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Powder and Fabricated Form for Surgical Implants,” (iii) F 799-96 “Specification for Cobalt-28 Chromium-6 Molybdenum Alloy Forgings for Surgical Implants,” (iv) F 1044-95 “Test Method for Shear Testing of Porous Metal Coatings,” (v) F 1108-97 “Specification for Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium Alloy Castings for Surgical Implants,” (vi) F 1147-95 “Test Method for Tension Testing of Porous Metal,” (vii) F 1378-97 “Standard Specification for Shoulder Prosthesis,” and (viii) F 1537-94 “Specification for Wrought Cobalt-28 Chromium-6 Molybdenum Alloy for Surgical Implants.”

In this case, the rotator muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and long head of the biceps) are no more useful for mobility, and only the deltoid (for abduction and external rotation) and the subscapularis (for internal rotation) are functional. Therefore, the usual goal of such surgery is to restore the shoulder joint to facilitate its working condition and to reduce or eliminate pain. The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is intended to accomplish these goals. Its reversed design allows to medialize the center of rotation of the shoulder, lengthening the deltoid muscle lever arm. The Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis is a semi-constrained system composed of a humeral and a glenoid parts. ### The humeral component: The humeral part is made of 3 parts consisting of interchangeable stems, metaphysis , and inserts, that may be assembled in different configurations thus accommodating a large variation in patient size and anatomy. The metaphyseal parts are fixed to the stem by a screwing fixation secured by a polyethylene breaking system. A lateralization spacer can be added to the humeral metaphysis in order to vary the lateralization. The inserts are impacted on to the conic shape of the metaphysis. A polyethylene peg guides it in the correct position. The stems are made of cobalt-chrome in 4 diameters The metaphyseal parts are manufactured from cobalt-chrome, in 2 sizes. The inserts are available in polyethylene in 6 sizes. The lateralization spacers are made of cobalt-chrome and are available in 2 sizes. ### The glenoid component: The glenoid part is composed of a base made of titanium alloy, on which is impacted a sphere of chrome cobalt. The assembly is secured by a central and internal screw. The sphere is available in two diameters congruent with the humeral insert. The metallic base of the glenoid is fixed to the bone by using 4 compression screws for fixation. {2}------------------------------------------------ $$ \uparrow \star \uparrow \bullet \downarrow \star \downarrow $$ Tornier S.A., FRANCE Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis 510(k) Number - K030941 Section "1" Supplement B rev 3 April 22, 2004 (page 3 only) ### 6.0 Materials: The material used in the composition of the Aequalis Reversed Shoulder Prosthesis implants is marked on the packaging.
