NEER III TOTAL SHOULDER SYSTEM

{0}------------------------------------------------ # MAY 2 3 2000 ### SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS | Submitter's Name | Smith & Nephew, Inc., Orthopaedic Division | |---------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Submitter's Address | 1450 East Brooks Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38116 | | Submitter's Telephone No. | 901-399-5363 | | Contact Person | Neal Defibaugh, Manager Clinical/Regulatory Affairs | | Date of Summary | April 20, 2000 | | Proprietary Name | Neer III Total Shoulder System | | Device Common Name | Shoulder Joint Prosthesis | | Device Classification | Shoulder Joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis, 21 CFR 888.3660 -<br>Close III | #### Substantial Equivalent Information The Neer III Total Shoulder System is similar to the following shoulder systems: - 1. Neer II Total Shoulder System 3M - 2. Modular Total Shoulder System - 3M - 3. Aequalis Shoulder System - Tornier S.A. All of the devices listed above are indicated for the same use as total shoulder systems, and are similar in design to the Neer III Total Shoulder System. The safety and effectiveness of the Neer III Total Shoulder System is based on the long history of use of these devices in the market place. #### Device Description Neer III humeral stems are manufactured from cast CoCr (cobalt chrome) alloy and are available in three stem diameters (8, 10 & 12mm). Four head heights, 15, 19, 22 & 26mm, are available, to allow accurate tensioning of the joint intra-operatively. The 25mm radius of curvature of the heads is constant throughout the stem to be used as a total shoulder replacement in conjunction with various glenoid components. Suture-wire holes are located in two laterally orientated fins to optimize re-attachment of the tuberosities. The implants in the system are intended fixation into a prepared humeral canal. Neer III humeral stems can be used in conjunction with a compatible glenoid component, such as Neer II Shoulder glenoid components, Coffeld Modular Shoulder glenoid components, Anatomic glenoid components, or in a hem-arthroplasty against an unresurfaced glenoid process. #### Indications for Use The Neer III Total Shoulder System is indicated for use as an orthopedic implant for the replacement of the human shoulder joint articulating either directly against the glenoid face or a compatible glenoid component, respectively, ### The Neer III Total Shoulder System is intended for the following: Proximal Humeral Prosthesis - (1) complex, acute fracture-dislocations of the humeral head (e.g., trauma - three and four-part injuries in the Neer classification, or head impression fractures); (2) complex, chronic fractures or fracture-dislocations of the humeral head with malunion of a small osteoporotic head fragment, or chronic dislocation with loss of humeral head cartilage, or large impression fractures; (3) avascular necrosis with intact glenoid cartilage; and (4) selected patients with arthritis who do not have adequate scapport a glenoid component or must engage in moderately heavy activities. Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (when used in compatible glenoid component) - severe destruction of the glenohumeral articular surfaces with intractable chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, cuff tear arthroplasty, ancient septic arthritis, avascular necrosis with secondary glenoid changes, radiation necrosis, and other failed reconstructive procedures. This device is intended only for cemented fixation. #### Technological Characteristics: The Neer III Total Shoulder System is substantially equivalent to the above predicate devices. The Neer is a modification of the Neer II device and has the same technological characteristics as the Neer predicate devices. Range of Motion, finite element analysis, fatigue testing, stem strength, and package integrity testing were performed on the Neer III prosthesis. Test results were consistent with the Neer II and predicate devices. The Anatomic Glenoid is substantially equivalent to the Neer II UHMWPE glenoid component predicate device. It is manufactured of the same material with the only difference being a more anatomical "pear-shaped" design. {1}------------------------------------------------ Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 # MAY 2 3 2000 Mr. Neal Defibaugh Manager Clinical/Regulatory Affairs Smith & Nephew, Inc.

You may, accordance with the provisions of at to the general control provisions of the Act. The general therefore, market the do received requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, control provisions of the five, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations (1 remance ripproval), it they of our can Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to inspections, the Pood and Diagon may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket I ntification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed nverlicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. Neal Defibaugh If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659.
