Intended Use
The Modified Winch Kyphoplasty (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge Balloon Catheters are intended to be used for the reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine. This includes use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. This system is to be used with cleared spinal polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements for use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation, such as kyphoplasty.
Device Story
Balloon catheter system for percutaneous vertebral augmentation; used to treat spinal fractures. Device consists of 11-gauge catheter with low-pressure elastomeric balloon at distal end. Inserted via 10-gauge cannula into vertebral body. Balloon inflation compresses cancellous bone to create cavity; reduces fracture; facilitates controlled delivery of cleared PMMA bone cement. Physician-operated in clinical setting. Inflation by volume creates cavity; balloon recovers near-original profile upon deflation for removal. Benefits include fracture reduction, prevention of cement leakage, and support for cement interdigitation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Design FMECA used to identify verification and validation testing requirements. Testing demonstrated that the modified catheters meet all original performance specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Catheter composed of polyurethane, polycarbonate, and polyether/polyamide. Features low-pressure elastomeric tubular balloon laser-bonded to shaft. 11-gauge size fits through 10-gauge cannula. Silicone lubricant used for insertion. Inflation is volume-based. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring reduction and fixation of spinal fractures or creation of a void in cancellous bone during percutaneous vertebral augmentation (kyphoplasty).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# Intended Use / Indications for Use
# Indications for Use:
The Modified Winch Kyphoplasty (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge Balloon Catheters are intended to be used for the reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine. This includes use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. This system is to be used with cleared spinal polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements for use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation, such as kyphoplasty.
# Technological Characteristics
The Modified Winch Kyphoplasty (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge Balloon Catheters are primarily composed of polyurethane, polycarbonate, and polyether/polyamide materials. A Silicone lubricant is provided to facilitate insertion of the catheters. This premarket submission represents a change to the balloon material to a different type of polyurethane.
# Device Description
The inflation of the balloon serves to create a cavity in the vertebral body, compressing the cancellous bone and/or move cortical bone, thereby reducing the fracture and preventing cement leakage, while still allowing for cement interdigitation.
Modified Winch Kypholplasy (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge balloon catheters fit through a 10 Gauge cannula allowing a minimally invasive kyhoplasty procedure. The low pre-inflation profile (low wrapping profile of folded balloon) enables their insertion into these small working cannulas.
Image /page/4/Picture/12 description: The image shows a medical device, possibly a catheter or similar instrument, laid out horizontally. It features a connector at one end, a long, slender tube, and a tip at the opposite end, which is encircled and labeled 'A'. The device appears to be designed for insertion into the body, with the connector facilitating attachment to other medical equipment.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: This image is a figure that shows an isometric view of the modified winch kyphoplasty 11 gauge balloon catheter. The catheter is long and thin, with a balloon at the end. The catheter is used to treat vertebral compression fractures. The figure is labeled as Figure 2.
The stiff distal end of the balloon catheter provides rigidity for smooth insertion while the flexible proximal catheter allows for easy maneuverability. The inflating component, laserbonded to the shaft, is a low-pressure elastomeric balloon of tubular shape (which is inflated by volume, not pressure). The inflation can expand the balloon several times its original size, it can be inflated to precise dimensions and retain well defined shapes and high pressures and when the pressure is released, it recovers close to its original size and shape, re-folding back to similar original profiles.
# Performance Data
Using design FMECA, G21 identified the necessary verification and validation testing to assure the new balloon met the catheters original performance specifications. All testing demonstrated that the modified catheters continues to meet all performance specifications.
#### Substantial Equivalence
G-21 used dFMECA to determine substantial equivalence. The Modified Winch Kyphoplasty (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge Balloon Catheters and the K152557 predicate device have the same intended use/indications for use, equivalent technical characteristics, and identical principles of operation.
G-21 submits the information in this Premarket Notification to demonstrate that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices, the Modified Winch Kyphoplasty (15 and 20 mm) 11 Gauge Balloon Catheters is substantially equivalent in indications, design principles, and performance standards to the predicate device.
