Intended Use

Vertaplex Radiopaque Bone Cement is indicated for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebroplasty of kyphoplasty procedures. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancers, myeloma).

Device Description

Vertaplex is Polymethyl Methacrylate cement used for the treatment of painful vertebral fractures based on the predicate device Spineplex. Vertaplex can be injected directly into the fractured vertebral body by either Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty procedures to relieve pain.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but based on the provided text, there is no information about acceptance criteria, device performance tables, or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way you've outlined.

The document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Stryker Vertaplex Radiopaque Bone Cement). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Stryker Spineplex Radiopaque Bone Cement).

Here's what the document does state, which is relevant to your request, but doesn't fully answer it:

  • Performance Standards: "Stryker Vertaplex has been developed in accordance with the FDA Guidance document entitled "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Bone Cement."" This implies that certain performance characteristics relevant to PMMA bone cement are expected to be met, as per the guidance document. However, the specific acceptance criteria from that guidance are not detailed in this 510(k) summary.
  • Safety and Effectiveness: "In vitro testing shows that the device meets similar performance specifications as those for the predicate device." This indicates that some form of testing was done to compare its performance to the predicate, but again, the specific results, acceptance criteria, or a detailed study description are not provided.
  • Biocompatibility: "All appropriate biocompatibility tests have been performed on Vertaplex and have met the standard requirements." This confirms biocompatibility testing was performed and met standards, but doesn't specify the tests or criteria.

The 510(k) process primarily relies on demonstrating equivalence rather than exhaustive clinical trials for de novo authorization. Therefore, the detailed study design (like sample sizes, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, etc.) you're asking about is not typically part of what's presented in a 510(k) summary for this type of device.

Therefore, I cannot populate your table or answer most of your detailed questions because the provided text does not contain that information.

Dear Ms. Sheppard:

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.
