Intended Use
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended for use as a bone void filler for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended to be used in conjunction with autograft bone as a bone graft extender and gently packed into bony voids or gaps in the posterolateral spine. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by the growth of new bone during the healing process.
Device Story
Synthetic, osteoconductive, resorbable bone void filler; consists of hollow, microporous biphasic calcium phosphate spheres contained within a resorbable PGA mesh pouch. Implanted intraoperatively by surgeons; may be hydrated with saline or autologous blood; packed into bony voids or gaps in posterolateral spine. Acts as bone graft extender; resorbs over time; replaced by new bone growth. Benefits patient by facilitating bone healing in non-structural defects. No software or electronic components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and animal study only. Bench testing included XRD, FTIR, mercury porosimetry, BET surface area, heavy metal/trace element analysis, and degradation testing. PGA mesh evaluated via FTIR, size exclusion chromatography, and DSC. Sterilization validated per ISO 11137 (SAL 10^-6). In vivo evaluation performed in a single-level posterolateral spinal fusion animal model, demonstrating safety and equivalence to AttraX Putty when used as an autograft extender.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate spheres; resorbable PGA mesh pouch. Osteoconductive. Sterilized via radiation (ISO 11137). Characterized by XRD, FTIR, mercury porosimetry, and BET surface area analysis. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring bone void filling in non-structural bony voids or gaps, including surgically created defects or traumatic injuries. Used as a bone graft extender in conjunction with autograft in the posterolateral spine.

| Panel: | Orthopedic |
| Product Code: | MQV |
#### Device Description:
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is a synthetic, osteoconductive, and resorbable bone void filler device consisting of hollow and microporous biphasic calcium phosphate spheres contained within a resorbable mesh pouch to aid in intraoperative handling. The device may be implanted directly, or hydrated with saline or autologous blood, and is intended to be combined with autograft.
#### Indications for Use:
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended for use as a bone void filler for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended to be used in conjunction with autograft bone as a bone graft extender and gently packed into bony voids or gaps in the posterolateral spine. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by the growth of new bone during the healing process.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The subject components are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:
#### Primary Predicate:
AttraX Putty, Progentix Orthobiology B.V. (K151584)
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### Secondary Predicates:
MAGNIFUSE® Bone Graft, Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA (K123691) Vitoss Bioactive Foam Bone Graft Substitute, Orthovita, Inc. (K083033)
The subject components are similar in indications, physical and chemical specifications, technological characteristics, and materials to the primary predicate AttraX Putty. The PGA mesh bag encasing the CaP spheres is similar to that of the secondary predicate MAGNIFUSE®. The size range offered as well as the degradation profile of both the CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ and MAGNIFUSE® are similar. Therefore, it can be concluded that the subject CaP Spheres does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices.
#### Performance Testing:
The subject CaP Sphere Pellet Pack™ has undergone a Biological Safety Risk Assessment based on ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices and FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", as recommended in the "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device; Guidance for Industry and FDA". Results of bench testing and animal data presented no evidence of an unwanted biological response.
The subject CaP Sphere Pellet Pack™ also underwent the following performance bench testing to determine the physical and chemical composition of the CaP Spheres: XRay Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometry, Porosity (Mercury Porosimetry), surface area analysis (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, BET), Heavy Metal elemental analysis, Trace element analysis, and degradation testing. Additional performance bench testing was performed on the PGA mesh which encases the spheres. This testing included Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometry, Size Exclusion Chromatography, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and degradation testing vielded acceptable results.
A sterilization validation was performed in accordance with ISO 11137, Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation to ensure a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6. Shelf life testing was performed to verify maintenance of a sterile barrier as well as product performance characteristics after aging. Pyrogenicity (LAL) testing was performed on the final device. All testing yielded acceptable results.
Finally, an in vivo evaluation of the subject CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ combined with autograft was performed in a clinically relevant, single-level posterolateral spinal fusion animal model. The study demonstrated that the test group when used as an autograft extender, CaP Spheres can safely support spine fusion in equivalence to predicate AttraX Putty with autograft which was used as an extender.
#### Conclusion:
Based on the test results and the comparison to the predicate devices, the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
