The Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device is intended to be used as an artificial embolization device in the treatment of unresectable/inoperable hypervascularized tumors.
Device Story
Occlusin® 500 is a collagen-coated polymeric microparticle designed for vascular embolization. Delivered via catheter under angiographic control to target organs; particles physically occlude blood flow to hypervascularized tumors. Used in clinical settings by physicians; provides mechanical blockage of tumor vasculature to reduce blood supply. Benefits include therapeutic intervention for otherwise unresectable tumors.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing (biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1, stability, catheter compatibility, and product characterization) and in vivo animal studies (porcine model for acute/1-month; ovine model for 3, 6, and 12-month performance).
Technological Characteristics
Collagen-coated polymeric microspheres. Sterile, non-pyrogenic. Delivered via catheter. Characterization includes mass per vial, density, particle size distribution, residual PVA, molecular weight, and collagen content. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with unresectable or inoperable hypervascularized tumors requiring vascular embolization.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).

### 3. PREDICATE DEVICES
Biosphere Medical Embosphere® (K021397; K991549)
### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device is a collagen-coated polymeric embolization microparticle. It is provided sterile and non-pyrogenic.
### 5. INTENDED USE
The Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device is intended to be used as an artificial embolization device in the treatment of unresectable/inoperable hypervascularized tumors.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## 6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The claim of substantial equivalence of the Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device with the cited predicate device is based on indication for use, operational principles, and fundamental design and operational characteristics. The Occlusine 500 Artificial Embolization Device, like the predicate device, are microspheres delivered to target organs via catheter under angiographic control. Differences in technology were addressed with additional non-clinical testing.
# 7. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING AS THE BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Prospectively defined verification and validation testing included biocompatibility testing in compliance with ISO 10993-1; stability testing; catheter compatibility testing; characterization of the finished product to demonstrate compliance with release specifications (including visual examination of appearance, packaging integrity, mass per vial, density, particle count per gram, particle size distribution, residual PVA, molecular weight, collagen content, sterility, endotoxin and melting range; shelf life); and in vivo testing in two animal models. Short term testing (acute and 1 month) was performed in the porcine model and long term testing (3 months, 6 months, and 12 months) was performed in the ovine model. These studies compared the performance of the Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device with the cited predicate device.
### 8. SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTING AS BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
No clinical testing was conducted to support this submission.
### 9. SUMMARY OF OTHER INFORMATION
Other information provided in the 510(k) included published studies of embolization.
### 10. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS
Design verification and validation testing demonstrate that the Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device fulfills prospectively defined design specifications. Testing in the two well-accepted animal models shows that the Occlusin® 500 Artificial Embolization Device does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.
