CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended for use as a bone void filler for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended to be used in conjunction with autograft bone as a bone graft extender and gently packed into bony voids or gaps in the posterolateral spine. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by the growth of new bone during the healing process.
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is a synthetic, osteoconductive, and resorbable bone void filler device consisting of hollow and microporous biphasic calcium phosphate spheres contained within a resorbable mesh pouch to aid in intraoperative handling. The device may be implanted directly, or hydrated with saline or autologous blood, and is intended to be combined with autograft.
The provided text describes a medical device, CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™, and its FDA 510(k) submission. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, or details regarding AI/ML device performance.
The document is a 510(k) clearance letter and summary for a physical medical device (bone void filler), not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, test set details, expert involvement, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as commonly applied to AI/ML devices, is not present in this text.
The text focuses on:
- Device Description: What the CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is.
- Indications for Use: When and how the device should be used.
- Substantial Equivalence: Comparison to existing, legally marketed predicate devices to show it's as safe and effective.
- Performance Testing: Bench testing (physical, chemical, degradation), biological safety, sterilization, shelf-life, and an in vivo animal study.
The closest information related to "acceptance criteria" is the overall demonstration of "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices, and that all performance tests "yielded acceptable results." However, specific numerical acceptance criteria for performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC) are not defined, as they are not typically applicable to this type of device in the same way they are for diagnostic AI/ML products.
Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, or answer the subsequent questions, as the input document does not contain this information for an AI/ML device.

Device Description:
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is a synthetic, osteoconductive, and resorbable bone void filler device consisting of hollow and microporous biphasic calcium phosphate spheres contained within a resorbable mesh pouch to aid in intraoperative handling. The device may be implanted directly, or hydrated with saline or autologous blood, and is intended to be combined with autograft.
Indications for Use:
CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended for use as a bone void filler for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ is intended to be used in conjunction with autograft bone as a bone graft extender and gently packed into bony voids or gaps in the posterolateral spine. CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by the growth of new bone during the healing process.
Substantial Equivalence:
The subject components are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:
Primary Predicate:
AttraX Putty, Progentix Orthobiology B.V. (K151584)
{4}------------------------------------------------
Secondary Predicates:
MAGNIFUSE® Bone Graft, Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA (K123691) Vitoss Bioactive Foam Bone Graft Substitute, Orthovita, Inc. (K083033)
The subject components are similar in indications, physical and chemical specifications, technological characteristics, and materials to the primary predicate AttraX Putty. The PGA mesh bag encasing the CaP spheres is similar to that of the secondary predicate MAGNIFUSE®. The size range offered as well as the degradation profile of both the CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ and MAGNIFUSE® are similar. Therefore, it can be concluded that the subject CaP Spheres does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices.
Performance Testing:
The subject CaP Sphere Pellet Pack™ has undergone a Biological Safety Risk Assessment based on ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices and FDA guidance document "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 "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device; Guidance for Industry and FDA". Results of bench testing and animal data presented no evidence of an unwanted biological response.
The subject CaP Sphere Pellet Pack™ also underwent the following performance bench testing to determine the physical and chemical composition of the CaP Spheres: XRay Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometry, Porosity (Mercury Porosimetry), surface area analysis (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, BET), Heavy Metal elemental analysis, Trace element analysis, and degradation testing. Additional performance bench testing was performed on the PGA mesh which encases the spheres. This testing included Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometry, Size Exclusion Chromatography, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and degradation testing vielded acceptable results.
A sterilization validation was performed in accordance with ISO 11137, Sterilization of Health Care Products – Radiation to ensure a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6. Shelf life testing was performed to verify maintenance of a sterile barrier as well as product performance characteristics after aging. Pyrogenicity (LAL) testing was performed on the final device. All testing yielded acceptable results.
Finally, an in vivo evaluation of the subject CaP Spheres Pellet Pack™ combined with autograft was performed in a clinically relevant, single-level posterolateral spinal fusion animal model. The study demonstrated that the test group when used as an autograft extender, CaP Spheres can safely support spine fusion in equivalence to predicate AttraX Putty with autograft which was used as an extender.
Conclusion:
Based on the test results and the comparison to the predicate devices, the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
