## Intended Use

CORTOSS® Bone Augmentation Material is indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebral augmentation. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).

## Device Story

Cortoss is an injectable, nonresorbable, resin-based bis-glycidal dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) composite bone cement. Used by physicians in clinical settings for vertebral augmentation to treat painful vertebral compression fractures. The material is injected into the vertebral body to act as a strengthening agent for weakened bone stock or fractures. By stabilizing the fracture, the device aims to reduce pain and restore structural integrity to the vertebral body. It functions as a mechanical support material.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical safety and effectiveness evaluated in over 500 patients across 43 sites. U.S. data included two pilot studies (n=40) and one prospective, randomized, multi-center, single-blind pivotal study (n=256; 162 Cortoss, 94 control). E.U. data included a multi-center, single-arm, prospective study (n>300) with follow-up ranging from 6 months to over 3 years.

## Technological Characteristics

Injectable, nonresorbable, resin-based bis-glycidal dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) composite bone cement. Designed for vertebral augmentation.

## 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.”

#### 2. Device Name and Classification

| Product Name:         | Cortoss Bone Augmentation Material |
|-----------------------|------------------------------------|
| Classification Name:  | Cement, Bone, Vertebroplasty       |
| Common or Usual Name: | Vertebral Augmentation Material    |
| Classification Panel: | Orthopedic                         |
| Regulation Number:    | 888.3027                           |
| Device Class:         | Class II                           |
| Product Code:         | NDN                                |

#### 3. Substantial Equivalence

Cortoss is substantially equivalent to the following medical devices in commercial distribution:

| Predicate Device                      | Company     | FDA Clearance Number |
|---------------------------------------|-------------|----------------------|
| Spineplex Radiopaque Bone Cement      | Stryker     | K032945              |
| Spine-Fix Biomimetic Bone Cement      | Teknimed    | K043593              |
| Staxx Fx System                       | Spine Wave  | K053336, K063606     |
| Confidence High Viscosity Bone Cement | Disc-O-Tech | K060300              |

Cortoss has the same intended use and indications, similar technological characteristics, and similar principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between Cortoss and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance and clinical data demonstrate that Cortoss is as safe and effective as its predicate devices. Thus, Cortoss is substantially equivalent.

## 4. Device Description

Cortoss is a composite material that functions as a strengthening agent for injection into vertebral bodies with compression fractures or weakened bone stock. This injectable, nonresorbable synthetic material is generically referred to as a resin-based, bis-glycidal dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) composite.

## 5. Indications for Use

CORTOSS Bone Augmentation Material is indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebral augmentation. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).

#### 6. Performance Data

Performance testing was conducted to ensure that Cortoss met its design specifications and performed in a manner substantially similar to the predicate devices. In all instances, Cortoss functioned as intended.

## 7. Clinical Data

Human clinical studies were conducted in over 500 patients at 43 clinical sites to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Cortoss for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.

In the U.S., data was collected in 40 patients in two pilot studies and in 256 patients (162 Cortoss: 94 control) in a prospective, randomized, multi-center, pivotal, single-blind pivotal study. In the E.U., data was collected in over 300 patients, including a multi-center, single arm, prospective study. These European studies were conducted in four countries (France, Italy, Sweden and the UK), with follow-up ranging from six months to over three years.
