Intended Use
The surgical patties and surgical strips are indicated for the use including brain and other tissues of the central nervous system, during surgery.
Device Story
Codman Surgical Patties and Strips are single-use, sterile, radiopaque devices used during neurosurgery to protect brain and central nervous system tissues. Patties consist of cottonoid material, a string, and an X-ray detectable monofilament; strips consist of cottonoid material and an X-ray detectable monofilament. The device is used by surgeons in an operating room setting. The radiopaque monofilament allows for visualization under X-ray to ensure the device is not left in the surgical site. The subject device utilizes a non-phthalate PVC resin for the monofilament, replacing the phthalate-containing PVC used in the predicate. The device is provided sterile (ETO) and is intended to be placed by the surgeon to provide a protective barrier or absorb fluids during procedures. It does not involve active electronic components or software.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, including visual inspection, functional/mechanical testing, radiopacity evaluation per ASTM F640-12, sterilization validation per ISO 11135:2014, shelf-life testing, and comprehensive biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, and hemolysis) per ISO 10993 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Cottonoid, polyester string, non-phthalate PVC monofilament. Radiopacity: ASTM F640-12. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ETO) to 10^-6 SAL per ISO 11135:2014. Form factor: Surgical patties and strips. No energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in the protection of brain and other central nervous system tissues during surgery. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neurosurgical paddie is a pad used during surgery to protect nervous tissue, absorb fluids, or stop bleeding.

# Dear Alyssa Woodcock:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 located 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 Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

VII. There were no changes made that affect the Codman Surgical Patties and Strips Performance indications for use, principle of operation, manufacturing process, clinical utility, Data packaging, shelf life and sterilization. The difference between the predicate and proposed device is the use of a non-phthalate PVC Resin instead of PVC Resin that contains phthalates for the construction of the x-ray detectable monofilament. In addition, the proposed device has been tested to 2-year shelf life and testing is ongoing to 5-year shelf life to match the currently marketed Codman Surgical Patties and Strips shelf life of 5 years. Below is a summary of the testing performed to support the substantial equivalence between the proposed and predicate devices:
