Intended Use

The Arthrex UNIVERS REVERS COATED BASEPLATE is designed to be used as the glenoid component of the existing Univers Revers Shoulder Prosthesis System. The Arthrex UNIVERS REVERS COATED BASEPLATE is indicated for use 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 suited to receive the selected implant(s), and a functional deltoid muscle is necessary to use the device. The Arthrex UNIVERS REVERS COATED BASEPLATE is indicated for primary, fracture, or revision total shoulder replacement for the relief of pain and significant disability due to gross rotator cuff deficiency. The Arthrex UNIVERS REVERS COATED BASEPLATE is coated and is intended for cementless use with the addition of screws for fixation.

Device Story

Arthrex Shoulder Systems (Univers II, Univers Apex, Univers Revers) are orthopedic implants for shoulder joint replacement. This submission updates labeling to include 'MR Conditional' status per FDA guidance. Systems consist of humeral and glenoid components; some components are CaP coated for cementless fixation with screws, others are cemented. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for patients with degenerative, traumatic, or rheumatoid disease, or rotator cuff deficiency. Device provides structural replacement of glenohumeral joint to relieve pain and restore function. Benefit is improved mobility and pain reduction in patients with severe shoulder pathology. Safety and compatibility in MR environment verified via non-clinical testing and electromagnetic simulation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Non-clinical testing and in-vivo electromagnetic simulation performed per FDA guidance 'Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment' to confirm MR Conditional status. Bacterial endotoxin testing performed per EP 2.6.14/USP <85> to meet pyrogen limit specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Passive orthopedic implants (humeral and glenoid components). Materials include metal and polymer. Some components feature CaP coating for cementless fixation. MR Conditional status established via electromagnetic simulation. Sterilization and manufacturing follow established quality system regulations.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with grossly rotator cuff deficient glenohumeral joints, severe arthropathy, or failed joint replacements with gross rotator cuff deficiency. Requires anatomically suited joints and functional deltoid muscle. Used for primary, fracture, or revision total shoulder replacement to relieve pain and disability.

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).
