Intended Use

The Crosstrees® PVA Pod device is intended to provide surgeons with a percutaneous means to deliver bone cement to painful pathologic compression fractures of the vertebral body in levels T4-L5 of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Pathologic fractures of the vertebral body may be caused by osteoporosis. It is intended to be used in combination with Crosstrees Fortibrae® Bone Cement when delivered by the Crosstrees CDrive® Bone Filler Delivery System.

Device Description

The Crosstrees® PVA Pod device is designed to deliver bone cement to the fractured vertebral body in a controlled manner without the need for an additional permanent implant other than the bone cement. The device consists of a shaft assembly for delivery of PMMA cement to a fabric barrier. Following cement delivery, the fabric barrier is opened and withdrawn from the vertebral body. The Crosstrees® PVA Pod device is made from a variety of materials commonly used in orthopedic and radiological procedures including stainless steel and polymers. The device is available in either a 2.0 mL or 3.0 mL fill capacity. The device is provided with a number of class I tools that are used for surgical access and delivery of the Pod to the surgical site, as well as preparation and delivery of bone cement.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for delivering bone cement and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

Therapeutic

Yes.
The device is intended to treat painful pathologic compression fractures of the vertebral body by delivering bone cement, which is a therapeutic intervention. The clinical trial results also show improvements in pain for the vast majority of study subjects.

Diagnostic

This device is designed to deliver bone cement to treat fractures, not to diagnose them. Its purpose is therapeutic intervention, not diagnostic assessment.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly states it consists of a shaft assembly, fabric barrier, and is made from materials like stainless steel and polymers, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software only.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, the Crosstrees® PVA Pod device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for delivering bone cement to the vertebral body to treat fractures. This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
Device Description: The description details a device designed for physical delivery of material into the body, not for analyzing samples of bodily fluids or tissues in vitro (outside the living body).
Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples, detect diseases, or provide diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Crosstrees® PVA Pod device does not fit this description. It is a surgical device used for a therapeutic intervention.

Summary of Clinical Evaluation

The Crosstrees® Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation System ("PVA device" or "PVA Pod") was evaluated in a prospective, single arm, IDE clinical trial in adult patients with acute vertebral body compression fractures. The study objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the PVA Pod in the delivery of the Crosstrees® Fortibrae Bone Cement® ("Fortibrae bone cement" or "bone cement") in the treatment of pathologic fractures (1-3 levels) of the vertebral column (T4-L5) in adult subjects. The study protocol as approved in the IDE specified performance criteria for two primary study endpoints based on a historical literature control. The study successfully met these performance criteria and demonstrated an excellent safety and efficacy profile for the product.

Only subjects meeting all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were to be enrolled into the trial. Total enrollment for the study was 135 subjects (including 111 U.S. subjects), with 133 subjects included in the analysis population. The following were included as primary endpoints, evaluated at 6 months and 12 months post-procedure.

Clinically significant improvement in pain (defined as improvement ≥2 cm from baseline as . measured by 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) (In this scale, 0 means "no pain" and 10 is "Severe pain", A difference of at least 2 cm compared to baseline is regarded as clinically relevant.);
Freedom from cement leakage; .
Absence of device-related adverse events; and .
. Absence of device-related reoperations or revisions.

The vast majority of study subjects achieved clinically significant improvement in their VAS pain scores of at least 2 cm as compared to baseline at 6 months (94.5%) and 12 months (89.6%) postoperative.

No extravasation was observed in the large majority of study subjects. The leakage rates observed by the radiographic core laboratory and the Investigator were low; extravasation was reported in 15.0% (20/133) of subjects in the core laboratory's conservative assessment of post-operative Xrays. Leakage was identified intra-operatively in 9.0% (12/133) of subjects by the Investigator. None of the leaks were symptomatic.

Reqarding the third and fourth primary endpoints, none of the reported device-related adverse events in the study were considered serious and most of the device-related adverse events reported involved asymptomatic cement extravasation. Furthermore, no revisions or reoperations occurred at the index level in any of the study subjects through study follow-up of 12 month post-operative.

The study also included an Individual Patient Success composite endpoint, evaluating clinically significant pain improvement, freedom from extravasation, maintenance or improvement in neurological status, absence of device-related serious adverse of device-related revisions or reoperations, and absence of device-related adverse events. The large majority of study subjects (74.8%, 83/111) demonstrated Individual Patient Success at 12 months.

With respect to safety, through the 12 month post-operative visit, relatively few patients were observed to have a new fracture at an adjacent or remote level, including at 6 months (8.5% new adjacent level vertebral body fractures, 3.9% new remote vertebral body fractures compared to baseline) and 12 month (9.2% new adjacent level vertebral body fractures, 3.8% new remote level vertebral body fractures compared to baseline). Importantly, only 1 new fracture occurred between the 6 and 12 month visit, a T12 fracture secondary to a fall, reported in patient 04-008 at 10 months post-operative. Index level refracture, as identified by post-operative radiographic review, occurred in 17.9% of all treated levels through 12 months. None of these refractures were identified based on symptoms and none required treatment.

Overall, observed rates of adverse event occurrence demonstrated a good safety profile for the PVA Pod. No subjects experienced a device-related serious adverse event, and there were no devicerelated revisions or re-operations and no unanticipated adverse device effects.

The results of the study demonstrate the favorable safety and effectiveness profile for the PVA Pod device. The PVA Pod device successfully met both protocol-defined hypotheses for clinically significant VAS pain reduction and an acceptable rate of cement extravasation, demonstrating the effectiveness of the device for its intended use as compared to the prospectively defined historical control.
