Ion-beam etching on one surface creates an adhesive interface for the pericardium. Device is implanted by surgeons during cardiac procedures to cover pericardial defects; fixed in place via surgical sutures. Provides a physical barrier to support healing and manage adhesions. Benefits include structural support for the pericardium and compatibility with fibrin glues for secure fixation. ## Clinical Evidence No human clinical data provided. Evidence consists of nonclinical bench testing and an animal study. Bench testing included tensile strength (ISO 2859-1), suture strength (ISO 2859-1), accelerated fatigue, fibrin glue leak/peel tests, and burst strength (JIS L1096 8.18/ISO 13938-1). Animal study involved 10 pigs over 8 weeks, evaluating health condition, weight, ultrasonography (effusion, adhesion, heartbeat), autopsy (adhesions, infection), and histopathology (inflammation, fibrosis). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 standards. ## Technological Characteristics Material: expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Surface modification: ion-beam etching on one side. Dimensions/thickness: similar to predicate. Sterilization: steam sterilization (SAL 10^-6) validated per ISO 17665-1:2006/JIST 0186-1:2010. Packaging validated per ISO 11607-1:2019, ASTM F1980, ASTM F2096, and ASTM F88. Mechanical properties verified via ISO 2859-1 and ISO 13938-1. ## Regulatory Identification An intracardiac patch or pledget made of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or polytetrafluoroethylene is a fabric device placed in the heart that is used to repair septal defects, for patch grafting, to repair tissue, and to buttress sutures. ## Predicate Devices - PRECLUDE® Preicardial Membrane ([K012098](/device/K012098.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of {1} K240775 - Michael Nilo Page 2 Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

This device is intended for use as a temporary or permanent prosthesis for repair of pericardium # Indications for Use The PeriBeam® Pericardial Membrane is indicated for the reconstruction or repair of the pericardium. The indications for use are the same as the predicate device # Technological Comparison Concerning the technological characteristics, while the PeriBeam® and PRECLUDE® are made of the same ePTFE and have nearly identical technological characteristics, the difference is the use of ion-irradiation on one surface of the PeriBeam® Pericardial Membrane. The ion beam etching on the patch is designed to create an adhesive surface for the pericardium. The indications for use, materials, supplied dimensions, thickness, sterilization, packaging, biological safety and performance characteristics are all similar to the predicate device. # Performance Testing The PeriBeam® Pericardial Membrane has undergone the following nonclinical, performance testing: Tensile Strength (ISO 2859-1), Suture Strength (ISO 2859-1), Accelerated Fatigue, Fibrin Glue (Leak and Peel tests) and Burst Strength (JIS L1096 8.18, ISO 13938-1). 1. Accelerated Fatigue Testing was conducted to evaluate cardiac function (heart beating) on the tensile strength of the ePTFE. 2. Tensile Strength testing, in accordance with ISO2859-1, was conducted to evaluate the tensile strength of ePTFE sheet after ion irradiation, as well as for design validation. 3. Suture Strength testing, in accordance with ISO 2859-1, was conducted to verify mechanical safety due to the device being used to cover pericardial defects and fixed in place by surgical sutures. 4. Fibrin glue tests were conducted to evaluate PeriBeam®'s compatibility with Fibrin glues. This included Leak and Peel testing. 5. Burst Strength Testing – Burst strength testing was conducted to determine the pressure under which the PeriBeam® device would fail. The base standard for this test is JIS L1096 8.18, which is the equivalent standard to ISO 13938-1. {6} # Animal Testing An animal study was conducted in support of the PeriBeam® Pericardial Membrane, providing additional safety information and demonstration of the device’s ability to meet its intended use. Pericardium implantation and autopsy was conducted using ten (10) pigs divided into three (3) groups for eight (8) weeks. The following endpoints were evaluated: - Treated site observations: health condition, feeding, respiration, feces etc. and macroscopic observations of the treated site - Weight measurement - Ultrasonography results: pericardial effusion, adhesion, and heartbeat - Autopsy measurements: adhesions with the thorax organs, adhesions with the heart, pericardial, pleural effusion, infection, and discharge - Histopathology: inflammatory (cellular infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocyte, macrophage and foreign body giant cell), amount of fibroblast, fibrosis, existence of bacteria # Biological and Toxicological Safety Testing The following endpoints were evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993. - Cytotoxicity - Sensitization - Irritation - Acute Systemic Toxicity - Material Mediated Pyrogenicity - Subacute Toxicity - Implantation - Genotoxicity - Chronic Toxicity - Carcinogenicity - Hemolysis - Chemical Characterization # Sterilization and Packaging The PeriBeam® is steam sterilized with an SAL of $10^{-6}$. This was validated using JIST 0186-1:2010 (ISO 17665-1:2006), ISO 11135, ISO 11737-1, {7} The shelf-life packaging validation was completed to support shelf, in accordance with the following standards: ISO 11607-1:2019: Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems, and packaging systems, ASTM F1980 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices, ASTM F1980-21 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices, ASTM F2096, Standard Test Method for Detecting Gross Leaks in Packaging by Internal Pressurization (Bubble Test), and ASTM F88, Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials. ## Conclusion The PeriBeam® Pericardial Membrane is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-d%E2%80%94cardiovascular-prosthetic-devices/DXZ/K240775](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/CV/subpart-d%E2%80%94cardiovascular-prosthetic-devices/DXZ/K240775) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
