It consists of a proximal handle, a rigid shaft, and a flexible cutting platform featuring two parallel cutting elements on a metallic substrate. Plastic protectors cover the blades during insertion into the foramen. Once positioned using iO-Flex system accessories (iO-Wire, Distal Handle), the user retracts the handles to expose the blades, then performs bimanual reciprocations to cut bone. Used in clinical settings by surgeons to access compromised foraminal areas. The device facilitates bone removal, potentially benefiting patients by relieving foraminal stenosis. It is a modification of the iO-Flex MicroBlade Shaver. ## Clinical Evidence No human clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing (functional and structural integrity), cadaveric studies, and in vivo porcine testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous, systemic toxicity). Sterility validated via e-beam radiation (SAL 10^-6) per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2. Shelf life and packaging integrity validated per ASTM standards (F1980-07, D4332-01, D4169-08, F2096-04, F88-09). ## Technological Characteristics Flexible, low-profile manual surgical instrument. Components: proximal handle, rigid shaft, flexible metallic cutting platform with parallel blades and plastic protectors. Materials have a history of medical use and meet ISO 10993-1. Sterilization: e-beam radiation. Connectivity: none (manual). ## Regulatory Identification A manual rongeur is a manually operated instrument used for cutting or biting bone during surgery involving the skull or spinal column. ## Predicate Devices - iO-Flex MicroBlade Shaver ([K113073](/device/K113073.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

JUL 2 7 2012 # 510(K) SUMMARY (21 CFR 807.92) iO-TOME DEVICE 510(k) Owner: Baxano, Inc. 655 River Oaks Parkway San Jose, CA 95134 Tel: 408-514-2200 Fax: 408-514-2201 Contact Person: Michael Wallace 408.514.2231 mwallace@baxano.com Date Prepared: Trade Name: iO-Tome Device Rongeur, Manual HAE Class II (21 CFR 882.4840) iO-Flex MicroBlade Shaver July 27, 2012 Classification: Common Name: Product Code: Predicate Device Information: Device Description: The iO-Tome Device is a design modification of the iO-Flex MicroBlade Shaver. It is comprised of a proximal handle, rigid shaft, and flexible cutting platform used for cutting bone for the purpose of removing a facet joint (facetectomy) in the lumbar spinal column. The flexible cutting platform is comprised of two parallel cutting elements that run along a flat flexible metallic substrate. The metallic substrate has two plastic protectors that temporarily cover the parallel cutting elements during introduction of the device into the foramen and protect the underside of the cutting platform during bimanual reciprocations. After the device is introduced and positioned within the foramen with the use of the iO-Flex System accessories and connected to the iO-Wire and Distal Handle, the user pulls up on the handles thereby exposing the Baxano, Inc. {1}------------------------------------------------ Intended Use: Technological Characteristics: Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data: Biocompatibility Information: parallel cutting elements. The user can then proceed with bimanual reciprocations cutting through the targeted facet joint. The iO-Tome Device is used for cutting bone for the purpose of removing a facet joint (facetectomy) of the lumbar spinal column. The iO-Tome Device is designed to be a flexible, low profile surgical instrument that allows access to compromised foraminal areas in the lumbar spinal column. The overall design and the fundamental scientific technology is equivalent to the currently cleared predicate MicroBlade Shaver. The FDA cleared iO-Flex technology also includes accessories consisting of the iO-Flex Probe, Neuro Check device, iO-Wire and Distal Handle. The iO-Tome device was thoroughly tested on the bench to evaluate and verify that it meets its design and performance specifications including biocompatibility, functional and structural integrity. The bench test plan was developed based on the risk assessment and recommendations outlined in applicable ISO and ASTM standards. Cadaveric and in vivo porcine testing confirmed that the subject device meets all design and performance specifications for its intended use. No new/different safety or effectiveness issues were observed during the testing. The iO-Tome is classified as an externally communicating device, in short duration contact (≤24 hr) with tissue and bone. Materials used in the construction of the iO-Tome device that come into patient contact have a long history of use in medical applications and were evaluated and tested in compliance with recognized ISO standard ISO 10993-1- Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process and FDA 21 CFR Part 58 Good Laboratory Practices for Non Clinical Laboratory Study, The Biocompatibility testing performed for the iO-Tome device included the following: - Cytotoxicity Study - ISO Elution Method - IX MEM Extract - ISO Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test Extract . - . ISO Intracutaneous Study in Rabbits - Extract - ISO Systemic Toxicity Study in Mice Extract Retest . {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "BAXANO" in a bold, sans-serif font. The letters are black against a white background. There is a line going through the letter X. All of the pre-determined acceptance criteria were met and results passed. # Sterility Information: The iO-Tome Device is delivered sterile applying a validated accelerated e-beam radiation process to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of of 10-6.
