The 510(k) summary describes a bone void filler material and its physical properties and performance in animal studies. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML.
Yes
ALTAPORE is intended to fill bony voids or gaps and replace bone during the healing process, falling under the definition of a therapeutic device that treats or alleviates a condition.
No
Explanation: ALTAPORE is described as an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps, acting as a bone graft extender or bone marrow aspirate. Its purpose is to facilitate bone healing, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states that ALTAPORE is a physical material (silicate-substituted calcium phosphate bone void filler) supplied in a sterile applicator, which is a hardware component. The intended use also describes a physical implant.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that ALTAPORE is an "implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system". This describes a device that is surgically implanted into the body to treat a physical condition.
- Device Description: The description details the composition and physical form of the implant (microgranules in a gel carrier).
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described are bench tests evaluating material properties and animal studies evaluating efficacy in bone healing and fusion. These are typical studies for an implantable medical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. ALTAPORE is an implant used inside the body for structural support and bone regeneration.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
ALTAPORE is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., extremities, pelvis and posterolateral spine). ALTAPORE may be used with autograft as a bone graft extender or bone marrow aspirate in extremities, and pelvis. ALTAPORE must be used in combination with autograft as a bone graft extender or autogenous bone marrow aspirate in posterolateral spinal fusion procedures. These osseous defects are surgically created or the result of traumatic injury to the bone and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. ALTAPORE resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

Device Description
ALTAPORE is a bioactive and osteoconductive silicate-substituted calcium phosphate bone void filler. The interconnected and open porous structure of the silicate-substituted calcium phosphate phase of ALTAPORE is similar to human cancellous bone and is intended to support bone growth with macro and micro- porosity. ALTAPORE is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (Ca. P. O. H. Si).
ALTAPORE is supplied in a sterile applicator and contains ALTAPORE microgranules, sized 1-2 mm, 80-85% total porosity, suspended in an absorbable aqueous gel carrier. ALTAPORE does not set in-situ following implantation. ALTAPORE is available in 1.5 ml, 2.5 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml, and 20 ml configurations.
ALTAPORE is designed for use as a standalone bone graft substitute or as an autograft extender. While not necessary, the product can be mixed with Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) or autologous bone at the discretion of the surgeon.
ALTAPORE is bioactive based on in vitro studies that show it forms a surface apatitelayer when submerged in simulated body fluid that contains the same ion concentrations as human blood plasma. This apatite layer provides scaffolding onto which the patient's new bone will grow, allowing complete repair of the defect.
ALTAPORE is osteoconductive based on in vivo animal studies that show it achieves bone healing in a critical defect model as confirmed with radiographic, histolopathological, histomorphometric, and mechanical analyses. ALTAPORE undergoes cell-mediated remodeling and is replaced by natural bone.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Discussion of Nonclinical Tests
Baxter Healthcare Corporation conducts risk analyses and design verification tests based on the result of these analyses. All test results met the acceptance criteria, and support that the proposed devices are appropriately designed for their intended use.
Performance Testing- Bench
The proposed device and secondary predicate device have identical chemical composition, physical structure, packaging, sterilization, and manufacturing process. As such, no additional bench testing was conducted. All previous verification and validation testing performed for the secondary predicate device, cleared under K130531, is still applicable to the proposed product.
The following in vitro studies were previously conducted as part of the secondary predicate submission (K130531) to evaluate the performance characteristics of ALTAPORE:
- Dissolution properties
Testing of dissolution was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-14: Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 14: Identification and quantification of degradation products from ceramics. - Bioactive properties
An In Vitro Bioactivity Study was conducted to evaluate the amount of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation on granular ceramic bone graft after submersion in simulated body fluid at a specific temperature at a range of different time periods.
Performance Testing- Animal
A preclinical animal study was conducted to evaluate the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE for use in the posterolateral spine:
-
Efficacy for use in posterolateral fusion (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))
In the animal study conducted, 182 New Zealand White Rabbits underwent uninstrumented posterolateral fusion of the spine at L5-L6, according to the model validated by Boden et al. There were six treatment groups: ALTAPORE alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; MASTERGRAFT® Putty alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; and a control group treated with autologous bone. There were no test article related complications or premature deaths in this study, at the 4, 8, and 12 week follow-up.The performance of ALTAPORE was evaluated by mechanical, radiographic, and histological examination of the treated segments of the spine. These studies demonstrated that similar performance in normal bone healing response leading to spinal fusion was only observed with the BMA and Autograft mixed groups.
A preclinical animal study was previously carried out to assess the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE in extremities and was demonstrated previously as part of the secondary predicate submission (K130531):
-
Safety for use in extremities (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))
-
Efficacy for use in extremities (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))
In the animal study conducted, four defects (two defects per femur) were created in each of 39 sheep to create 156 defects total for assessment, according to the ovine critical size defect model. There were four treatment groups: ALTAPORE alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; predicate device, Actifuse ABX; and a control group treated with un-implanted cancellous bone for mechanical testing only. There were no test article related complications. There were three premature deaths in this study, which occurred shortly after implantation. The causes of death were not related to the impantation of the test or control materials.
Safety for use in extremeties of ALTAPORE was evaluated with subsequent assessment by decalcified histopathology, manual palpitation, macroscopic assessment, and plain radiography of the treated defects. Efficacy for use in extremeties was evaluated with subsequent assessment by non-histomorphometry, biomechanical testing of explants, and plain radiographs of the treated defects. These studies demonstrated normal bone healing response in extremeties which was equivalent to the predicate device.
Biocompatibility
All materials in the proposed device have been used in the secondary predicate device, ALTAPORE, with the same intended use and with the same type and duration of contact. ALTAPORE has been previously cleared under 510(k) submission, K130531.
Biocompatibility assessments were conducted based on ISO-10993-1 and FDA guidance Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process," as recommended in the FDA guidance document.

DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS
Baxter Healthcare Corporation conducts risk analyses and design verification tests based on the result of these analyses. All test results met the acceptance criteria, and support that the proposed devices are appropriately designed for their intended use.
Performance Testing- Bench
The proposed device and secondary predicate device have identical chemical composition, physical structure, packaging, sterilization, and manufacturing process. As such, no additional bench testing was conducted. All previous verification and validation testing performed for the secondary predicate device, cleared under K130531, is still applicable to the proposed product.
The following in vitro studies were previously conducted as part of the secondary predicate submission (K130531) to evaluate the performance characteristics of ALTAPORE:
-
. Dissolution properties
Testing of dissolution was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-14: Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 14: Identification and quantification of degradation products from ceramics. -
. Bioactive properties
An In Vitro Bioactivity Study was conducted to evaluate the amount of hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation on granular ceramic bone graft after submersion in simulated body fluid at a specific temperature at a range of different time periods.
Performance Testing- Animal
A preclinical animal study was conducted to evaluate the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE for use in the posterolateral spine:
- Efficacy for use in posterolateral fusion (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG)
In the animal study conducted, 182 New Zealand White Rabbits underwent uninstrumented posterolateral fusion of the spine at L5-L6, according to the model

validated by Boden et al. There were six treatment groups: ALTAPORE alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; MASTERGRAFT® Putty alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; and a control group treated with autologous bone. There were no test article related complications or premature deaths in this study, at the 4, 8, and 12 week follow-up.
The performance of ALTAPORE was evaluated by mechanical, radiographic, and histological examination of the treated segments of the spine. These studies demonstrated that similar performance in normal bone healing response leading to spinal fusion was only observed with the BMA and Autograft mixed groups.
A preclinical animal study was previously carried out to assess the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE in extremities and was demonstrated previously as part of the secondary predicate submission (K130531):
- . Safety for use in extremities (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))
- . Efficacy for use in extremities (with and without bone marrow aspirate (BMA), with and without autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))
In the animal study conducted, four defects (two defects per femur) were created in each of 39 sheep to create 156 defects total for assessment, according to the ovine critical size defect model. There were four treatment groups: ALTAPORE alone, with bone marrow aspirate, and with autologous bone; predicate device, Actifuse ABX; and a control group treated with un-implanted cancellous bone for mechanical testing only. There were no test article related complications. There were three premature deaths in this study, which occurred shortly after implantation. The causes of death were not related to the impantation of the test or control materials.
Safety for use in extremeties of ALTAPORE was evaluated with subsequent assessment by decalcified histopathology, manual palpitation, macroscopic assessment, and plain radiography of the treated defects. Efficacy for use in extremeties was evaluated with subsequent assessment by non-histomorphometry, biomechanical testing of explants, and plain radiographs of the treated defects. These studies demonstrated normal bone healing response in extremeties which was equivalent to the predicate device.

Biocompatibility
All materials in the proposed device have been used in the secondary predicate device, ALTAPORE, with the same intended use and with the same type and duration of contact. ALTAPORE has been previously cleared under 510(k) submission, K130531.
Biocompatibility assessments were conducted based on ISO-10993-1 and FDA guidance Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process," as recommended in the FDA guidance document. Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff- Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device. The battery of testing included the following tests:
- . Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Irritation
- System Toxicity .
- . Genotoxicity, Carcinogenicity, and Reproductive Toxicity
- . Implantation
CONCLUSION
The non-clinical data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent and performs comparably to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
