Indications for Use
The EPOCA Custom Offset Shoulder Systsem can be used for either hemi or total shoulder replacement. It is a single-use device intended for cemented reconstruction of the humeral portion of severely destroyed (4-part fractures) and/or disabled and/or very painful shoulder joints resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis where radiographic evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat the prosthesis is present. This device is intended for use with components of the EPOCA Custom Offset Shoulder System only.
Device Story
EPOCA Custom Offset Shoulder System is a cemented, single-use humeral prosthesis for shoulder arthroplasty. Device replaces humeral portion of shoulder joint in patients with severe joint destruction or pain. System components are implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Prosthesis provides structural replacement to restore joint function and alleviate pain associated with arthritis or fractures. Device is intended for use exclusively with other EPOCA system components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Shoulder joint metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis. Designed for humeral reconstruction. Single-use. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring hemi or total shoulder replacement due to severely destroyed (4-part fractures), disabled, or painful shoulder joints caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, or avascular necrosis, provided sufficient sound bone exists for prosthesis seating.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral 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).
