The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing for decision support or analysis.
Yes.
The device is intended for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine, which directly treats a medical condition.
No
The device is intended for fracture reduction and creation of a void in cancellous bone, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a balloon catheter, access cannula, syringe, inflator, hand drill, and coaxial cement tube. It also mentions patient-contacting components and biocompatibility testing, indicating a hardware-based medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Stryker iVAS Elite Function: The Stryker iVAS Elite Inflatable Vertebral Augmentation System is a surgical device used inside the body (in vivo) to treat vertebral fractures. It physically interacts with bone tissue to create a void and facilitate bone cement placement.
The description clearly states its intended use is for "reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine" and is used "during percutaneous vertebral augmentation." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Device Description
The Stryker iVAS ® Elite Balloon Catheter is a bone tamp with an inflatable component at the distal end. The balloon is inflated to create a void within the vertebral body. It is used with various accessories during vertebral augmentation.
When the balloon is inflated with radiopaque fluid, the balloon expands axially and radially. Two radiopaque markers are fixed near the distal end of the balloon to show the location of the balloon during placement. The balloon is coated with silicone to assist with insertion of the catheter into the access needle.
The patient contacting components of the device such as the balloon, catheter, catheter coating, lubricant and radiopaque material are externally communicating tissue/bone/dentin-limited contact ≤24 hrs.

4. Device Description
The Stryker iVAS ® Elite Balloon Catheter is a bone tamp with an inflatable component at the distal end. The balloon is inflated to create a void within the vertebral body. It is used with various accessories during vertebral augmentation.
When the balloon is inflated with radiopaque fluid, the balloon expands axially and radially. Two radiopaque markers are fixed near the distal end of the balloon to show the location of the balloon during placement. The balloon is coated with silicone to assist with insertion of the catheter into the access needle.
The patient contacting components of the device such as the balloon, catheter, catheter coating, lubricant and radiopaque material are externally communicating tissue/bone/dentin-limited contact ≤24 hrs.
Associated Accessories include:
- Access cannula/stylet
- Syringe ●
- Inflator
- Hand Drill ●
- . Coaxial Cement Tube
5. Principles of Operation / Mechanism of Action
The balloon catheter is the functional part of the device that creates a cavity and reduces the fracture. The balloon is designed to create a cavity by compressing cancellous bone and/or moving cortical bone as it inflates. After manufacturing, the balloon is covered with a protector called a sheath that the physician will remove prior to performing a procedure. Radiopaque markers provide for fluoroscopic visualization of the vertebral balloon prior to filling it with contrast media. The radiopaque balloon markers are located within the balloon.
After placing the access cannula into the fractured vertebral body, the physician places the access cannula and stylet in the desired location within the vertebral body, creating a channel for the balloon. The stylet is then removed, leaving the cannula in place. The deflated balloon is inserted through the access cannula. Contrast medium is injected into the balloon to inflate it. As the balloon inflates, it moves and compresses the cancellous bone, creating a void. The balloon is deflated and removed before cement injection takes place. Cement is then injected through the access cannula into this space.
5. Intended Use/Indications for use
The Stryker iVAS® Elite Inflatable Vertebral Augmentation System is intended to be used for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine. This includes use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. The system is to be used with cleared spinal Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements and Cortoss®

8. Clinical Testing
No clinical testing was deemed necessary for this 510(k).
9. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The Stryker iVAS® Elite Balloon Catheter is substantially equivalent in intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness to the Stryker iVAS® Balloon Catheters (K130430 and K123942) and the Kyphon Express II Inflatable Bone Tamp (K123771). The subject and predicate devices have the same fundamental scientific technology, basic design and clinical applications.
The performance testing proves that the subject device has the same functional characteristics as the predicate devices. Cadaveric testing demonstrated the need for a robust balloon with an inflation pressure of >700psi in order to adequately inflate the balloon to create a void.
A risk analysis, supported by clinical literature, was provided to address adverse events associated with kyphoplasty. The referenced literature in the risk assessment provides support that the causes of adverse events related to kyphoplasty are multi-factorial, but do not include high balloon inflation pressure as a causal factor.
The modifications to the Stryker iVAS® Elite Balloon Catheter do not raise any new safety and effectiveness concerns when compared to similar devices which are already legally marketed. Therefore, the Stryker iVAS® Elite Balloon Catheter is substantially equivalent to the Stryker iVAS ® Balloon Catheters and Kyphon Express II Inflatable Bone Tamp.
