Intended Use
TRS Cranial Bone Void Filler is intended for use in the repair of 13mm neurosurgical cranial burr holes. It should be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.
Device Description
TRS Cranial Bone Void Filler (TRS C-BVF) is a synthetic, porous, osteoconductive, bone void filler made from PCL polycaprolactone (CaH100-)X which will degrade and resorb fully in vivo by hydrolysis and is subsequently metabolized by the body, and hydroxylapatite (Ca10(PO4)6.(OH)2) with a calcium phosphate bone mineral coating (Hydroxylapatite and Octacalcium phosphate). TRS BVF has an interconnected porous structure that acts as an osteoconductive matrix for the ingrowth of bone. TRS C-BVF is available in single size, which is a 13mm diameter x 5mm "plug" with a 20mm diameter x .90mm thick flange. TRS C-BVF is manufactured using a laser sintering process and is then coated with the calcium phosphate bone mineral coating. The product is shipped to a contract manufacturer who packages, labels and sterilizes the C-BVF devices. They are then returned to TRS and inventoried as Finished Goods.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

  • Biocompatibility, including Degradation Testing: Comprehensive biocompatibility testing of the TRS C-BVF material demonstrates that it is biocompatible; non-genotoxic, nonpyrogenic, non-toxic and a non-irritant. Results of the degradation testing, which included accelerated and real-time polymer degradation, as well as extreme simulation ceramic degradation, have shown comparable performance between the TRS and chronOS predicate device. Both devices demonstrated a similar PCL degradation mechanism by hydrolysis of the ester linkage to give a carboxylic acid and an alcohol as by products. In addition, similar trace elements were detected for both devices. Molecular ions detected from the extracts from both devices at 90-day real-time test demonstrated similar retention times, and indicate the degraded compounds are similar or related.
  • Bench Testing: Bench testing to evaluate the compressive mechanical properties and push out force of the TRS C-BVF, the chronOS and Ostepore devices showed comparable performance and demonstrated that the TRS C-BVF device to possess appropriate performance characteristics for its intended use. In addition, material testing using FTIR demonstrated the same PCL material composition in both the predicate Osteopore PCL Scaffold device and the TRS C-BVF device.
  • Animal Testing: Results of the Rabbit Calvarial Defect testing have demonstrated similar performance of the TRS C-BVF and predicate chronOS devices with respect to new bone formation. By 26 weeks, total bone formation in both the subject and predicate devices was approximately equal and by 78 weeks, CT showed bone volumes for both devices to be nearly identical. The data shows that TRS C-BVF facilitates a constant, sustained bony healing response over time.
  • Clinical (Literature): The clinical literature summarized utilizes PCL in a number of material forms and indications. Clinical studies reported good outcomes in applied applications, expected absorption rates and with no reported material-mediated complications. No clinical studies have been performed in support of this 510(k) application due to the similarities of the TRS C-BVF to the predicate devices.

Comparison to Marketed Devices continued: The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use, are of similar design, perform the same function and are composed of similar resorbable materials. The subject and predicate devices are osteoconductive and both provide an interconnected, porous scaffold and an environment for new bone ingrowth. Both devices are available in similar forms and are provided sterile. Both the subject and predicate devices are shown to be biocompatible, perform similarly in in-vitro and animal testing and are composed of component materials with a history of use in implantable medical devices.

9.0 Performance Testing

TRS Cranial Bone Void Filler has undergone a comprehensive battery of non-clinical testing, including chemical, physical, animal and biocompatibility. Testing has provided reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for its intended use and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.

9.1 Biocompatibility, including Degradation Testing:

Comprehensive biocompatibility testing of the TRS C-BVF material demonstrates that it is biocompatible; non-genotoxic, nonpyrogenic, non-toxic and a non-irritant. See Table 6-3 for the specific tests performed including the results and conclusions.

Results of the degradation testing, which included accelerated and real-time polymer degradation, as well as extreme simulation ceramic degradation, have shown comparable performance between the TRS and chronOS predicate device. Both devices demonstrated a similar PCL degradation mechanism by hydrolysis of the ester linkage to give a carboxylic acid and an alcohol as by products. In addition, similar trace elements were detected for both devices. Molecular ions detected from the extracts from both devices at 90-day real-time test demonstrated similar retention times, and indicate the degraded compounds are similar or related. These results provide further evidence that the TRS C-BVF is substantially equivalent to the chronOS predicate device.

While degradation testing was not performed on the OsteoPore PCL Scaffold predicate device, an infrared analysis of both the TRS C-BVF device and the OsteoPore PCL Scaffold device was undertaken using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to qualitatively establish similarity of PLC polymeric material components between these devices. FTIR results for both TRS device and Osteopore PCL Scaffold showed strong peaks

Tissue Regeneration Systems, Inc. 510(k) Premarket Notification TRS CRANIAL BONE VOID FILLER (TRS C-BVF) August 14, 2013

consistent with traditional peaks found in the infrared spectra of PCL indicated that PCL is a major component for these devices. (See Section 11.4 of this 510(k) submission and Appendix B, Tab B-5 for a summary of this testing.) Given that both the TRS C-BVF device and the OsteoPore PCL Scaffold predicate are composed of Poly-E-caprolactone material, degradation results for the OsteoPore material are presumed substantially similar to the TRS C-BVF device.

In conclusion, the TRS C-BVF device is biocompatible and demonstrates comparable degradation performance to the predicate devices, supporting a claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate chronOS and OsteoPore PCL Scaffold devices.

(Real time polymer

Polymer:
30,90,180,365,540, and

TRS C-BVF lost 10% and 23% of its molecular weight and
0.26% and 0.47% of its initial mass at 365 and 730 days,
respectively. Extracts of TRS device revealed one compound
(2-hexenoic acid, butyl ester, (E)-) at 30, 90, 180, and 365 day
at a concentration in the range of 2-6 ppm. ChronOS
composite resulted in one compound (di-n-octyl phthalate)
detected in the 30 day replicate 2 extract. The average
molecular weight (Mw) shows that TRS devices were
unchanged after 30 days, but did exhibit degradation by 90
days with approximately 5% reduction in average molecular
weight. Mw at 365 days showed a decrease of approximately
5%with a similar trend for the later time points. The ChronOS
composite, on the other hand, exhibited a 57% reduction in
average molecular weight by 30 days and a considerable 90%
reduction by 90 days, 95% at 180 days, 98% by 365 days, and
was completely degraded prior to the 540 day time point. The
decrease in pH of the solution of ChronOS composite, may
have affected the degradation profile. The number average
molecular weight (Mn) showed that the Mn of TRS device
decreased approximately 10% over 365 days and further
decreased to 23% after 730 days. No other compounds were
detected at any other time point above the quantitation limit.TRS device real time
degradation results
demonstrated that
the device is in the
first stage of
degradation with the
decrease in
molecular weight
without mass loss

quantification of
degradation products
from ceramics
(extreme/simulation)The extreme solution test caused approximately 26-27% of the
ceramic and hydroxylapatite to dissolve from both the coated
and uncoated discs. After the testing had been performed, the
buffer solutions showed the presence of calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus, sulfur, and in some cases aluminum, barium, and
iron.
The simulation solution test caused a mass loss of less than
1% for both coated and uncoated discs. The solutions after
the simulation test contained calcium and phosphorus for both
sample types. In the case of the coated discs, magnesium
and sodium were also observed. The SEM images for the
coated samples after the simulation test still showed the flake-
like structure, but some erosion was apparent. After the
simulation test, no significant differences in the EDS data were
observed, as compared to the coated samples that had not
been subjected to the simulation test.Both extreme and
simulation test
demonstrated that
the ceramic
component of TRS
device is composed
of calcium and

9.2 Bench Testing:

Bench testing to evaluate the compressive mechanical properties and push out force of the TRS C-BVF, the chronOS and Ostepore devices showed comparable performance and demonstrated that the TRS C-BVF device to possess appropriate performance characteristics for its intended use. In addition, material testing using FTIR demonstrated the same PCL material composition in both the predicate Osteopore PCL Scaffold device and the TRS C-BVF device. These results provide further technical evidence supporting a claim of substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate devices.

9.3 Animal Testing:

Results of the Rabbit Calvarial Defect testing have demonstrated similar performance of the TRS C-BVF and predicate chronOS devices with respect to new bone formation. By 26 weeks, total bone formation in both the subject and predicate devices was approximately equal and by 78 weeks, CT showed bone volumes for both devices to be nearly identical. The data shows that TRS C-BVF facilitates a constant, sustained bony healing response over time. Results of this testing demonstrate that the TRS C-BVF performs in a similar manner to the predicate chronOS device in a cranial defect in an animal model. This testing provides further technical evidence that the TRS C-BVF device performs comparably to the predicate chronOS device and provides additional support to a claim of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.

0.4 Clinical (Literature):

The clinical literature summarized utilizes PCL in a number of material forms and indications. Clinical studies reported good outcomes in applied applications, expected absorption rates and with no reported material-mediated complications.

No clinical studies have been performed in support of this 510(k) application due to the similarities of the TRS C-BVF to the predicate devices. Further, the constituent materials of the subject device have a long history of safe and successful clinical use in numerous implantable medical applications as identified above. The PCL containing materials and material combinations referenced in this literature are comparable to that utilized in the TRS C-BVF. As such, the reported successful clinical history provides evidence of PCL's safety profile in clinical use and is representative of the expected safety profile for TRS C-BVF.

10.0 Conclusion

Product characterization and testing on the TRS Cranial Bone Void Filler when compared to its predicate devices demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the Osteopore PCL Scaffold Bone Void Filler, Synthes chronOS, Synthes chronOS Composite and Synthes Rapid Resorbable Cranial Clamp devices, commercially available cranial burr hole covers.
