• Decision Date: Oct 2, 2003
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 878.3300

Intended Use

The Hedrocel Trabecular Metal Reconstruction System is indicated for use in reinforcing weak and/or deficient bony tissues in orthopaedic surgical procedures, such as pelvic reconstruction, acetabular reconstruction, cement restriction and in long bone procedures such as femoral and humeral reconstruction. When used in long bone procedures, ancillary fixation, such as plates and screws, must be used. The Hedrocel® Trabecular Metal Reconstruction system may be used with bone graft.

Device Story

Hedrocel Trabecular Metal Reconstructive System; porous tantalum surgical mesh; wedge-shaped, bi-plane geometry; 80% porosity with 0.5mm interconnecting pores; available in multiple sizes/heights; 6mm central hole for bone graft; tapered slot for instrumentation. Used in orthopedic surgery for bone reinforcement; requires ancillary fixation (plates/screws) for long bone applications. Provides structural support to deficient bone; facilitates potential bone ingrowth due to porous structure.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; substantial equivalence supported by mechanical testing data from predicate devices (K023882 and K962468) and adherence to FDA guidance documents.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Hedrocel porous tantalum (80% porosity, 0.5mm pore diameter). Form factor: Bi-plane wedge-shaped mesh with 10-degree longitudinal inclination and 20-35 degree secondary width inclination. Features: 6mm central hole for bone graft, tapered slot for instrumentation. Non-active, implantable device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring reinforcement of weak or deficient bony tissues during orthopedic procedures, including pelvic, acetabular, femoral, and humeral reconstruction, and cement restriction. Long bone procedures require ancillary fixation (plates/screws). May be used with bone graft.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

The term "substantial equivalence" as used in this 510(k) Substantial Equivalence: notification is limited to the definition of substantial equivalence found in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended and as applied under 21 CFR 807, Subpart E under which a device can be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. A determination of substantial equivalency under this notification is not intended to have any bearing whatsoever on the resolution of patent infringement suits or any other patent matters. No statements related to, or in support of substantial equivalence herein shall be construed as an admission against interest under the US Patent Laws or their application by the courts.

Trabecular Device Metal Reconstructive The Hedrocel Svstem is Description: manufactured wholly of Hedrocel porous tantalum, the same material that comprises numerous medical devices intended for use in orthopedic applications. Hedrocel porous tantalum is 80% porous with fully interconnecting pores that are about 0.5mm in diameter.

> The devices in this line extension are wedge shaped and contoured so as to fit a variety of anatomical bone structures. The devices are available in small, medium and large sizes, with the cross-sectional dimensions being 0.52in x 0.88in for the small size; 0.58in x 0.96in for the medium size, and 0.62in x 1.06in for the large size. Each size consists of varying heights ranging from 2mm - 8mm in 2mm increments. There is a consistent inclination angle of 10 degrees along the length in all size ranges. A secondary inclination angle along the width ranges from 20-35 degrees in 5-degree increments. The resultant geometry is a bi-plane wedge. The devices have a 6mm central hole for optional bone graft placement. A tapered slot is provided for implantation instrumentation.

Device

Technological Characteristics & Comparison to Predicate Device: A comparison of device technological characteristics and properties demonstrates that the device is substantial equivalent to the cited predicate devices.

- Performance The subject device of the Hedrocel Trabecular Metal Reconstructive Data: System was not tested. Rather previous device testing per FDA guidance documents and applicable standards were performed for the predicate devices described in K023882 and other mechanical testing reported in K962468. These results indicate that the subject device will perform as indicated for use in support of weakened and/or deficient bony structures.
- Conclusion: The Hedrocel Trabecular Metal Reconstructive System is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices identified in this premarket notification.

Dear Ms. Halevi:

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.
