Kyphoplasty Balloon Dilatation 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 during balloon kyphoplasty (for use with cleared spinal polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements).
The proposed device, Kyphoplasty Balloon Dilatation Catheters are inflatable balloon catheters used in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). It consists of Inner Stylet, Balloon Catheter, and polypropylene (PP) Protection tube. The radiopaque markers located at the balloon catheter tip to reflect the balloon position during positioning.
The proposed device, Kyphoplasty Balloon Dilatation Catheters are inflatable balloon catheters used in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). It consists of Inner Stylet, Balloon Catheter, and polypropylene (PP) Protection tube. The device is made of PC, stainless steel, TPU, PE, Pebax and Pt/Ir.
The inner stylet is made from a stylet attached to a 6% Luer cap. The stylet enhances the stiffness of the balloon catheter to facilitate a smooth insertion of balloon catheter through the established working pathway during the percutaneous procedure. The PP Protection tube protects the balloon from damage during the production and packaging.
The balloon catheter is composed of six sections: Inflation Port, Stylet Port, Inner Tube, Outer Tube, Radiopaque Markers, Inflatable Component. The Stylet Port is used to provide a support for the Stylet. The Inflation Port provide an adapter for a balloon inflation Injector. The Inflatable Component plays a critical role in the procedure. The Inflatable Component is to restore the height of a compression-fractured vertebral body and also leave a cavity in the fractured area after the Inflatable Component deflation. The cavity is therefore to facilitate safer filling of the bone cement. The cavity in the fractured area left by the inflated balloon reduces the filling pressure of bone cement. This technology greatly reduces the risk of uncontrollable bone cement leakage and spread, and thus lowers complications and minimizes the risk of the procedure.
The radiopaque markers located at the balloon catheter tip to reflect the balloon position during positioning.
Kyphoplasty Balloon Dilatation Catheters are supplied sterilized, single-use.
There are generally two types of Kyphoplasty Balloon Dilatation Catheters, one is straight type which has a straight balloon catheter tip, and the other one is curved type which has a curved shape of tip of the balloon catheter. These catheters are available in different effective length. The detailed specifications are listed in Table 1.

Dear Chen Kevin:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Discussion:
Different 1-Balloon Inflation Behavior
The difference in the size does not raise additional questions for safety and effectiveness of the device. The performance test of the subject devices has been performed on the final finished device. The test results show pass the requirements.
Different 2- Shapes
The shape of predicate device has a Peanut type, and the proposed device haven't. The shape of subject device is within the scope of predicate device. Therefore, the differences on balloon shape do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.
Page 10
Conclusion:
The subject and predicate device have the same intended use. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices (i.e. Balloon Inflation Behavior and shape) do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
