## Intended Use
Mendec Spine is indicated for the treatment of pathological fractures of the vertebrae using a vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedure. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporesis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).
## Device Story
Mendec Spine is a two-component acrylic bone cement (PMMA-based) used in vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. The system consists of a powder component (PMMA-styrene copolymer, barium sulphate, benzoyl peroxide) and a liquid component (methylmethacrylate monomer, hydroquinone, N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine). Components are mixed by the clinician prior to use to initiate polymerization. The resulting cement is injected into the vertebral body to stabilize pathological fractures. The device provides structural support to the fractured vertebra, potentially reducing pain and restoring vertebral integrity. It is intended for use by physicians in a clinical or surgical setting.
## Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, including mechanical performance testing per ISO 5833:2002 and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 and ASTM F 451-99.
## Technological Characteristics
Two-component PMMA-based acrylic bone cement. Powder: PMMA-styrene copolymer, barium sulphate (radiopacifier), benzoyl peroxide (initiator). Liquid: Methylmethacrylate monomer, hydroquinone (stabilizer), N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (promoter). Complies with ASTM F 451-99 and ISO 5833:2002. Sterilization: Solid components via ethylene oxide (EO) gas; liquid components via filtration. Single-use.
## Regulatory Identification
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is a device intended to be implanted that is made from methylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, esters of methacrylic acid, or copolymers containing polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The device is intended for use in arthroplastic procedures of the hip, knee, and other joints for the fixation of polymer or metallic prosthetic implants to living bone.
## Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement.”

Dear Dr. Brauer:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
