## Intended Use

The KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps and Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps are intended to be used as a conventional bone tamp for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine (including use during balloon kyphoplasty with a PMMA-based bone cement that is cleared for use in kyphoplasty procedures), hand, tibia, radius, and calcaneus.

## Device Story

Inflatable bone tamp used for fracture reduction and void creation in cancellous bone; spine, hand, tibia, radius, calcaneus. Device consists of coaxial dual lumen shaft, Y-adapter for inflation syringe, and distal inflatable balloon. Radiopaque markers at balloon ends allow fluoroscopic visualization for positioning. Physician inflates balloon with contrast-media solution to create cavity; cavity may be filled with bone cement. Used in clinical/surgical settings. Benefits include controlled bone void creation and fracture reduction.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Verification and validation activities, including tolerance analyses, confirmed device functionality.

## Technological Characteristics

Coaxial dual lumen shaft; inflatable balloon at distal tip; Y-adapter for inflation/deflation. Radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic visualization. Manual operation via inflation syringe using contrast-media solution. Materials equivalent to predicate.

## Regulatory Identification

An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.

## Predicate Devices

- KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamp ([K101864](/device/K101864.md))

#### VI. Product Description

The Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps are designed for reduction of fractures. The main components are a coaxial dual lumen shaft. Y .- Adapter with a port to connect the inflation syringe for inflation/deflation, and the inflatable balloon located at the distal tip.

### VII. Indications for Use

The KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps and Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps are intended to be used as a conventional bone tamp for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine (including use during balloon kyphoplasty with a PMMA-based bone cement that is cleared for use in kyphoplasty procedures), hand, tibia, radius, and calcaneus.

#### VIII. Summary of Technological Characteristics

The fundamental scientific technology of the subject Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps is identical to the predicate KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps.

Both the subject Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps and predicate KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps consist of shaft, Y-Adapter and the inflatable balloon located at the distal tip. The Inflatable Bone Tamp is connected to an inflation syringe in order to inflate/deflate the balloon. Two radiopaque markers located at the distal and proximal end of the deflated balloon allow fluoroscopic visualization of the IBT during positioning prior to inflation. Once positioned, the balloon is inflated with contrast-media solution to create a cavity in the vertebral body, which may be subsequently filled with bone cement.

# IX. Identification of the Legally Marketed Predicate Device Used to Claim Substantial Equivalence

In order to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamp (K101864, SE Oct 14, 2010) is used as the predicate for the Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps.

# X. Brief Discussion of the Non-Clinical Tests Submitted

Assessment of the device modifications have been completed in accordance with Medtronic design control processes. The Kyphon® Express™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps have the same design characteristics, packaging, use the same sterilization process, and are made of equivalent materials as the predicate KYPHON Xpander™ II Inflatable Bone Tamps. Mechanical testing and other verification/validation activities, including tolerance analyses were conducted to confirm that the modified device functions as intended and does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.

# XI. Conclusions Drawn from the Non-Clinical Tests

The subject and predicate Inflatable Bone Tamps are identical in terms of indications for use, intended use, performance specifications, and fundamental technological characteristics.
