The summary describes a bone void filler material and its physical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended to fill bony voids or gaps and acts as a bone graft extender, promoting bone formation and healing, which are therapeutic actions.
No
Explanation: This device is described as an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps, acting as a bone graft extender or substitute. Its function is therapeutic, aiding in bone healing and growth, not diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implantable material (putty) intended to fill bony voids, not a software product.
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 SHAPE is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system. This is a therapeutic and structural purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a bone void filler made of calcium phosphate and a carrier, designed to be implanted and resorb over time. This is consistent with a medical device used for treatment or repair, not for analyzing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status or disease.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. ALTAPORE SHAPE is an in vivo (within the body) implant.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
ALTAPORE SHAPE is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., extremities, pelvis and posterolateral spine).
ALTAPORE SHAPE must be used in combination with autograft as a bone graft extender 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 SHAPE is a bioactive and osteoconductive silicate-substituted calcium phosphate bone void filler. The interconnected and open porous structure of the silicatesubstituted calcium phosphate phase of ALTAPORE SHAPE is similar to human cancellous bone and is intended to support bone growth with macro and micro-porosity. The microgranule phase ALTAPORE SHAPE is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (Ca, P, O, H, Si).
ALTAPORE SHAPE is supplied as a shaped wax-like putty in a sterile pouch containing ALTAPORE microgranules, sized 1-2 mm, 80-85% total porosity, suspended in an absorbable Alkylene Oxide co-polymer carrier. ALTAPORE does not set in-situ following implantation. ALTAPORE is available as a 1.6 ml small cylinder, 2.6 ml medium cylinder, 8 ml large cylinder, and 15.8 ml large strip.
ALTAPORE SHAPE is designed for use as a standalone bone graft substitute or as an autograft extender. While not necessary, the product can be mixed with autologous blood or autologous bone at the discretion of the surgeon.
ALTAPORE SHAPE is bioactive based on in vitro studies that show it forms a surface apatite-layer 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 SHAPE 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 SHAPE undergoes cell-mediated remodeling and is replaced by natural bone.

The hydroxyapatite granules used in ALTAPORE SHAPE, ALTAPORE, and ACTIFUSE SHAPE are all chemically identical. The intended use of the proposed product is the same as the predicate and reference device, and the fundamental technology of the device is the same across all three devices.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
ALTAPORE SHAPE is substantially equivalent to the predicate device previously cleared under 510(k) premarket notification, K181225 and the reference devices cleared under 510(k) premarket notifications K082575 and K140375.

Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "Baxter" in a bold, blue font. The font appears to be sans-serif. The word is slightly slanted to the right, giving it a dynamic appearance.
Sterility
The ALTAPORE SHAPE device is sterilized with radiation. The minimum sterilizing dose (MSD) required to provide a 10-6 Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for this (sub) category was established and validated at the manufacturing facility as described in ANSI/AAMI/ISO ISO 11137-2, "Sterilization of health care products- Radiation-Part 2: Establishing the Sterilization Dose."
These products are labeled "Sterile". Package Verification testing is based on Visual Inspection, Seal Strength, and Bubble Leak testing.
Shelf Life
Stability indicating parameters are identical between the reference device ACTIFUSE SHAPE and ALTAPORE SHAPE. as both are composed of the same materials and have identical packaging materials. A shelf life claim of 5 years is substantiated by stability results of the reference device ACTIFUSE SHAPE, (cleared under K082575).
Performance Testing- Bench
The microgranule phase of the proposed device and predicate device has identical chemical composition, physical structure, and manufacturing process and the carrier phase of the proposed device is identical to the chemical composition, packaging and sterilization methods . As such, no additional bench testing was conducted. All previous verification and validation testing performed for the predicate device, cleared under K181225, and testing performed for the ACTIFUSE SHAPE reference device, cleared under K082575, are applicable to the proposed product.
The following in vitro studies were conducted as part of the predicate submission to evaluate the performance characteristics of ALTAPORE SHAPE:
- Bioactive properties
Performance Testing- Animal
A preclinical animal study was conducted to evaluate the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE SHAPE for use in the spine:
- Effectiveness for use in posterolateral fusion (with autogenous iliac crest bone graft (ICBG))

A preclinical animal study was carried out to assess the following performance characteristics of ALTAPORE SHAPE in extremities:
- Effectiveness for use in extremities (with and without autologous blood))
Biocompatibility
The hydroxyapatite microgranule phase in the proposed device has been used in the 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, K181225.
The alkylene oxide copolymer carrier phase in the proposed device has previously been used in the reference device. ACTIFUSE SHAPE, with the same intended use and with the same type and duration of contact. ACTIFUSE SHAPE has been previously cleared under 510(k) submission, K082575.
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
- Pyrogen
- Genotoxicity
- Implantation
CONCLUSION
The non-clinical data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent and performs comparably to the predicate device and reference devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
