Vspspn is indicated for the treatment of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using a vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedure. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).

Device Description

Vspspn is a two-part (powder and liquid) radiopaque, polymethyl methacrylate acrylic resin. The powder and liquid components are mixed together at the point of use to form the resin. The product is supplied sterile, for single use.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) submission (K063438) for Vspspn, an acrylic resin for treating pathological vertebral body fractures, does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study proving device performance against such criteria.

The submission focuses entirely on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Mendec Spine (K042415). It asserts that Vspspn has the "same design, incorporate the same materials, have the same performance and mechanical characteristics, have the same shelf life and equivalent packaging, and are sterilized by the same method" as the predicate.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding:

A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
Sample size for the test set and data provenance.
Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth.
Adjudication method.
MRMC comparative effectiveness study results or effect sizes.
Standalone algorithm performance.
Type of ground truth used for performance evaluation.
Sample size for the training set.
How ground truth for the training set was established.

This type of submission relies on demonstrating similarity to an already approved device rather than presenting new performance data against specific criteria.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050,
