## Indications for Use

The ENDORET® Kit is designed to be used for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) from a small sample of peripheral blood at the patient’s point of care. The PRP is mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to a bony defect for improving handling characteristics.

## Device Story

ENDORET® Kit facilitates point-of-care preparation of autologous platelet-rich-plasma (PRP); utilizes vacuum-based blood collection and centrifugation to separate blood components by density; includes collection tubes, needles, plasma transfer device, fractionation tubes, and activator agent. Healthcare professionals operate the system; PRP output is mixed with bone graft material to improve handling for bony defect applications. Benefits include rapid, safe autologous PRP preparation. Device components are medical-grade polymers, elastomers, rubbers, and stainless steel.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data were included in this submission. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including sterilization validation (ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, ISO 17665-1), biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series), sterile barrier/shelf-life validation (ISO 11607-1, ASTM standards), and comparative performance testing of PRP parameters (platelet concentration, yield, pH, aggregation, activation, and clot integrity).

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: medical grade polymers, elastomers, rubbers, stainless steel. Principle: density-based blood fractionation via centrifugation. Energy: external centrifuge (sold separately). Connectivity: none. Sterilization: irradiation, ethylene oxide, or autoclave (SAL 10⁻⁶). Shelf-life: 18 months. Standards: ISO 11137-1/2, ISO 17665-1, ISO 10993-4/5/10/11, ISO 11607-1, ASTM F88, F1886, F1929, F1140, F2096.

## Regulatory Identification

An automated blood cell separator is a device that uses a centrifugal or filtration separation principle to automatically withdraw whole blood from a donor, separate the whole blood into blood components, collect one or more of the blood components, and return to the donor the remainder of the whole blood and blood components. The automated blood cell separator device is intended for routine collection of blood and blood components for transfusion or further manufacturing use.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is a guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Automated Blood Cell Separator Device Operating by Centrifugal or Filtration Separation Principle.”

Reference device:

- BK130049 ENDORET® Kit, B.T.I. Biotechnology Institute, S.L.

## 4. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The ENDORET® Kit is designed to be used for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) from a small sample of peripheral blood at the patient’s point of care. The PRP is mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to a bony defect for improving handling characteristics.

## 5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The ENDORET® Kit includes sterile, single use components to draw blood by vacuum from at a patient’s point-of-care and separate the blood components by centrifugation to create a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) output, that is mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to a bony defect for improving handling characteristics. The ENDORET® Kit is intended to be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

The ENDORET® kit includes blood collection tubes with anticoagulant, blood collection needles, Plasma Transfer Device to collect the PRP fraction in sterile fractionation tubes, and an activator agent that is added to the PRP prior to its application. This ENDORET® Kit includes modified or additional components.
