Intended Use
The ArthroCare® Parallax® Contour® Vertebral Augmentation Device – enhanced when used with the access needle kits are indicated for use during kyphoplasty or vertebral augmentation procedures to create a void in the vertebral body and fill the void with Parallax® Acrylic Resin (bone cement). The painful pathological vertebral body compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign or malignant lesions such as metastatic cancers and myeloma.
Device Description
The ArthroCare Parallax Contour Vertebral Augmentation Device - enhanced is used to disrupt cancellous bone and create a void in the vertebral body and fill the void with Parallax Acrylic Resin (bone cement) during kyphoplasty or vertebral augmentation procedures.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for vertebral augmentation and does not mention any AI or ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is used to treat painful pathological vertebral body compression fractures, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an augmentation device used to create and fill a void in the vertebral body; it does not diagnose conditions.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate a physical device used in a surgical procedure, not a software-only application.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body (creating a void in the vertebral body and filling it with bone cement). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device description reinforces its use in a surgical procedure to manipulate bone and deliver material into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

This device is a surgical tool used for a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

Intended Use

The ArthroCare Parallax Contour Vertebral Augmentation Device - enhanced when used with the access needle kits are indicated for use during kyphoplasty or vertebral augmentation procedures to create a void in the vertebral body and fill the void with Parallax Acrylic Resin (bone cement). The painful pathological vertebral body compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign or malignant lesions such as metastatic cancers and myeloma.

Substantial Equivalence

This Special 510(k) proposes modifications to the dimensional specifications, material, and labeling of the ArthroCare Parallax Contour Vertebral Augmentation Device. The indications for use, technology, principle of operation, and sterilization of the ArthroCare Parallax Contour Vertebral Augmentation Device - enhanced remain the same as in the predicate device.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

In establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate device, ArthroCare compared the indications for use, materials, dimensional specifications, and performance of the subject device to the predicate device. Functional performance testing of the device included torque, insertion and withdrawal, flexure, device attachment/deployment/ removal, and mechanical displacement of bone have been completed to demonstrate the mechanical characteristics and performance remain the same as the predicate device. The proposed modifications to the ArthroCare Parallax Contour Vertebral Augmentation Device enhanced are not substantial changes, and do not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the device.
