Intended Use
Synthes Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System is intended for use as a hemi or total shoulder replacement. It is a single use device for reconstruction of the glenohumeral joint in the presence of complex fractures (i.e. 3 and 4 part), revision of failed fixation or arthroplasty, post-traumatic mal-union and disabled, painful shoulder joints resulting from various forms of arthropathy such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis and other pathologies where arthrodesis is not acceptable. The Press-fit Titanium Plasma Sprayed Humeral Stems are for cementless use only.
Device Description
The Synthes Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System is intended for partial or total replacement of the shoulder joint. The Synthes Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System consists of metallic cemented and uncemented fixation stems, humeral heads, an eccenter offset adjustment mechanism, and UHMWPE glenoid components. The components are available in a variety of sizes for primary and revision applications. The components are manufactured from CoCrMo Alloy, Titanium, and Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE).
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical shoulder prosthesis system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a prosthesis system intended for the reconstruction and replacement of the glenohumeral joint, addressing painful shoulder conditions caused by various arthropathies and fractures. It directly treats a medical condition.

No
The device is a prosthesis system intended for the surgical reconstruction of the glenohumeral joint. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of metallic stems, humeral heads, an eccenter offset adjustment mechanism, and UHMWPE glenoid components, which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The Synthes Epoca Shoulder Prosthesis System is a surgical implant designed to replace parts of the shoulder joint. It is physically implanted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for reconstruction of the glenohumeral joint through surgical replacement. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided clearly describes a medical device used for surgical treatment, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
