Intended use

The INHANCE Reverse Shoulder System is a shoulder joint prosthesis consisting of a titanium alloy humeral stem, shell, cross-linked UHMWPE liner, cobalt-chromium glenosphere, titanium baseplate, screws, and augments. It is intended for primary, fracture, and revision total reverse shoulder replacement procedures in patients with gross rotator cuff deficiency who have a functional deltoid muscle, as well as for conversion from anatomic to reverse prosthesis.

Technological characteristics

The subject device adds a 10-degree inclination to the humeral liner compared to the predicate INHANCE liner (K212737). The humeral neck-shaft angles fall within the range of legally marketed predicate reverse shoulder systems. Materials, sterilization methods, and sterile packaging remain identical to the predicate device.

Test standards cited

ASTM F1378 (Range of Motion); ASTM F2052, F2119, F2182, F2213 (MR safety); ISO 10993-1 (Biocompatibility); ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2 (Sterilization validation); ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2 (Packaging integrity); fatigue, wear, and geometric comparison testing.

Substantial equivalence argument

The subject device is substantially equivalent because the 10-degree inclination modification is a minor technological difference with no impact on safety or performance. The humeral neck-shaft angles remain within the range of existing legally marketed predicate devices, intended use and principles of operation are unchanged, and non-clinical testing demonstrates equivalence to the predicate without raising different safety or performance questions.
