(104 days)
Embozene® Microspheres are intended for embolization of arteriovenous malformations, and hypervascular tumors, including uterine fibroids.
Embozene® Microspheres are tightly calibrated, compressible microspheres intended to occlude vasculature for the purpose of blocking blood flow to a target tissue such as a hypervascular tumor (HVT) or arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Embozene® Microspheres are manufactured from sodium polymethacrylate and coated with proprietary Polyzene®-F. The microspheres are compressible to enable smooth delivery through the indicated delivery catheter. Embozene® Microspheres are color coded by size to allow easy identification of the different sizes. Embozene® Microspheres are supplied sterile and packaged in 20ml polycycloolefin syringes with a standard 7ml fill volume across the range. Embozene® Microspheres syringes or vials are available in 1 ml or 2 ml microsphere volume.
The acceptance criteria for the Embozene® Microspheres and the study demonstrating its performance are detailed below.
It's important to note that this submission relies heavily on substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, rather than establishing entirely new performance criteria through a de novo study.
Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Criteria | Reported Device Performance | Study Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Embolization of arteriovenous malformations and hypervascular tumors (including uterine fibroids) | Device is intended for these uses. Specificity for uterine fibroids is the update from predicate. | Clinical experience reviewed (Smeets et al.) |
| Technological Characteristics | - Same manufacturer, classification, regulation, product codes (with added NAJ for uterine fibroids). - Same method of delivery, Rx status. - Same mechanism of action (mechanical occlusion). - Same material class, design, and composition (Crosslinked polyacrylate hydrogel with Polyzene-F). - Same size ranges, biocompatibility, microsphere volume, sterility assurance level ($10^{-6}$), pyrogen-free status, packaging, and shelf-life (3 years). | All technological characteristics are identical to the primary predicate device (Embozene® Microspheres, K073417 and K132675). The only difference is the broadened indication for use to explicitly include uterine fibroids, which is supported by clinical data. | Non-Clinical Performance Testing (bench testing) and comparison to predicate device. |
| Safety | No unique safety concerns regarding use for uterine fibroid embolization. | Review of published and unpublished data regarding adverse events did not identify any unique safety concerns. Adverse events observed in the Smeets et al. study (hysterectomy due to incomplete fibroid expulsion or persistent pain) are documented, but not deemed "unique safety concerns" for the device itself. | Clinical Experience (Smeets et al.) |
| Clinical Effectiveness (for Uterine Fibroids) | Improvement in fibroid symptoms and/or reduction in fibroid/uterine volume, successful infarction. (Implicitly comparable to predicate device performance) | - UFS-QOL Symptom Severity Scores: Mean score dropped from 64 at baseline to 23 at 3 months (n=85), and to 16 at 12.8 months (n=81). - Fibroid/Uterine Volume Reduction: Mean dominant fibroid volume reduction of 45% at 3 months. Mean total uterine volume reduction of 42% at 3 months. - Fibroid Infarction: 94% rate of >90% infarction of dominant fibroid at 3 months. 91% rate of >90% infarction of total fibroid load at 3 months. | Clinical Experience (Smeets et al.) |
Study Details
The submission's primary evidence for meeting acceptance criteria for the expanded indication (uterine fibroids) comes from a review of clinical information, specifically a published study by Smeets et al., and a comparison to predicate devices. No new, prospective, de novo clinical trial was conducted for this 510(k) submission.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
See table above.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size for Clinical Data:
- Smeets et al. study: n=85 patients for initial 3-month follow-up on UFS-QOL scores. n=81 patients for extended 12.8-month follow-up on UFS-QOL scores.
- Data Provenance:
- Smeets et al. study: Published data, conducted outside the United States. The document states "published and unpublished data on the use of use of Embozene® for the treatment of uterine fibroids (outside the United States)". This indicates a retrospective or prospective observational study conducted previously.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This information is not provided in the summary. The clinical study (Smeets et al.) relied on patient-reported outcomes (UFS-QOL) and objective measurements from MRI (uterine and fibroid volume, fibroid infarction). The interpretation of MRI results would have been by medical professionals (radiologists), but their number and specific qualifications are not specified in this 510(k) summary.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
- This information is not provided in the summary. For the Smeets et al. study, it doesn't mention any specific adjudication method for patient-reported outcomes or MRI interpretations.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a vascular embolization device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improve with AI assistance" is not applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No, this is not an algorithm or AI-based device. It is a physical device (microspheres) for embolization. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- For the clinical effectiveness concerning uterine fibroids, the ground truth was established through:
- Patient-reported outcomes: Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) instrument.
- Imaging-based objective measures: Uterine and fibroid volume reduction and percent fibroid infarction as determined by MRI.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable / Not explicitly stated. This is not an AI/machine learning device that involves a training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for the device's effectiveness is based on the general understanding of embolization therapy and the established performance of predicate devices. The clinical data from Smeets et al. serves as evidence for effectiveness, not as a training set for an algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. As mentioned, there isn't a "training set" in the context of an algorithm. The evidence base relies on existing medical knowledge, predicate device performance, and clinical study outcomes.

5. Similarities and Differences Compared to Predicate Devices
To demonstrate substantial equivalence. CeloNova has identified two legally marketed predicate devices; Embozene Microspheres cleared through 510(k)s (K073417 and /K 132675 and Merit Medical's Embospheres Microspheres cleared through 510(k) K021397. The Embozene® Microspheres that are the subject of this 510(k) are the same as the legally marketed Embozene® Microspheres, previously cleared by FDA, in regard to intended use and technological characteristics. The only difference between the subject of this 510(k) and our legally marketed predicate devices relates to the indications for use statement. The indications for use statement related to this 510(k) includes greater specificity than our predicates by explicitly identifying "uterine fibroids" as being among the tumors treated with vascular embolization devices, as established by 21 CFR § 870.3300.
In comparison to the second predicate device, Merit Medical's Embosphere® Microspheres (K021397), the intended use of the subject device is the same. Furthermore, the subject device and the predicate have the same design, specifications, fundamental scientific technology, and packaging.
In comparison to the third predicate device, Boston Scientific's Contour® PVA Embolization Particles (K030966), the intended use of the subject device is the same.

There are no performance standards applicable to the device is subject Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices issued on December, 29 2004. The following non-clinical performance testing was conducted on the primary predicate device:
- . Chemical analysis
- Size range .
- . Catheter compatibility
- . Density
- Packaging performance .
- . Shelf Life
- . Sterility
- . Biocompatibility
No new testing was conducted since the primary predicate device and the subject device have identical technological characteristics, manufacturing, processing, and sterilization.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Bench testing was conducted to compare Embozene® Microspheres with the predicate Embosphere
8. Summary of Clinical Experience
The clinical information submitted included a review of embolization using various embolic agents to physically occlude vessels to restrict blood flow over the last ten years, published and unpublished data on the use of use of Embozene® for the treatment of uterine fibroids (outside the United States) and postmarket experience with the cleared device.
The published data provided included a study conducted by Smeets et al. [Ref.: Smeets AJ, Nijenhuis RJ, van Rooij WJ et al. Embolization of uterine leiomyomas with Polyzene Fcoated hydrogel microspheres: initial experience. JVIR 2010; 21(12): 1830-1834]. This study included data on fibroid-specific outcomes using the Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) patient reported outcomes instrument. It also evaluated the uterine and fibroid volume and percent fibroid infarction as determined by MRI. A fibroid-specific quality of life outcomes instrument was used as the primary clinical outcome measure in a previously-cleared device with this indication (i.e., Boston Scientific Contour Emboli PVA, K030966). Results from the Smeets et al. study demonstrated that mean fibroid symptom severity scores on the UFS-QOL instrument dropped from 64 at baseline to 23 at three months (n=85). (A reduction in score constitutes an improvement in patient symptoms.) At a mean follow-up of 12.8 months, mean uterine fibroid symptom severity scores were 16 (n=81). At three months, the mean volume reduction of the dominant fibroid was 45% and the mean volume reduction of the entire uterus was 42%. At three months, there was a 94% rate of >90% infarction of the dominant fibroid and a 91% rate of >90% infarction of the total fibroid load. Regarding adverse events, one subject underwent hysterectomy at two months due to incomplete fibroid expulsion, and two subjects had hysterectomy at five- and seven-months post-procedure due to persistent pain.
Review of published and unpublished data regarding adverse events associated with Embozene® Microspheres did not identify any unique safety concerns regarding use of Embozene® Microspheres for uterine fibroid embolization.
9. Conclusion
The Embozene® Microspheres that are the subject of this 510(k) submission are substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device (Embozene® Microspheres, K073417 and K132675) and the second predicate device (Embosphere® Microspheres, K021397) based on intended use, technological characteristics, and bench performance data. The Embozene® Microspheres that are the subject of this 510(k) submission are substantially equivalent to the third predicate device (Contour® PVA Embolization Particles, K030966) based on intended use and clinical performance data.
