The implants are provided non-sterile in multiple sizes and are manufactured using traditional manufacturing methods. Pectus bars are manufactured from CP Titanium. Connector bars are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V. The system also includes the necessary instruments to facilitate placement of the implants.
The purpose of this submission is as follows:
Page 6
-
Line extension to include longer pectus bar sizes for both angled and straight pectus bars ranging greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm
-
Add "MR Conditional" to the device labeling for the angled and straight pectus bars ranging greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm used in conjunction with connector bars
Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The KLS Martin Pure Pectus System is indicated for use in surgical procedures to repair pectus excavatum. It is indicated for use in adult and pediatric (children and adolescents) populations.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The indications for use for the subject and primary device are identical in that they include metallic implants intended to support the thoracic anatomy. They are both intended for use in adult and pediatric (children and adolescents) populations.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
Similarities to Predicate Device:
The subject and predicate devices have the same fundamental technologies in that they are both metallic implants for use in surgical procedures of the thoracic and sternal region to repair pectus excavatum. Both devices are manufactured in a variety of lengths and configurations to provide the physician with different sizing options. Both devices are off-the-shelf products provided non-sterile and require the end-user to process the implants using validated cleaning and sterilization methods prior to use. The sterilization methods, packaging, and shelf-life information remains unchanged from the predicate. Both devices are manufactured from titanium, a well-known biocompatible material.
Target Population:
The subject device, as well as the primary predicate device, K221938, were cleared for use in the adult and pediatric populations, specifically in the following pediatric subpopulations:
- Children (2 years of age to < 12 years of age)
- Adolescents (12 years of age – 21 years of age)
Differences from Predicate Device:
Specifications
The predicate device, KLS Martin Pure Pectus system includes the pectus bars ranging from 200 mm to 380 mm in length. The subject device will be a modification to the pectus bars to include additional sizing options ranging in greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm. The cross-sections of the subject and predicate pectus bars are identical to each other, only the extended lengths are different. The modified pectus bars described do not alter the safety and efficacy of the intended use for the KLS Martin Pure Pectus system. The device usage is identical; there are no changes in formulation, processing, or sterilization. The manufacturing process used in the subject device is similar to the final finished form of the pectus bars cleared in K221938. We determined that extending the pectus bar length ranging in greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm, will not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device. There have been no changes to the sterility procedures of the device.
MR Environment Safety Information:
Non-clinical testing has been performed to support the conditional safety of the subject device in the MR environment. Hazards addressed include magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-21) and torque (ASTM F2213-17), image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07, R2013), and RF induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2).
The longer pectus bars (subject device) have met all acceptance criteria to substantiate the labeling claim of "MR Conditional" in the magnetic resonance environment. Therefore, the devices listed in the KLS Martin Pure Pectus portfolio can be safely scanned under the conditions presented in the labeling.
Conclusion:
Based on the questions above as well as conformance to FDA-recognized standards, safety and effectiveness has been demonstrated. The additional longer sizes for the pectus bars will be included in the cleared KLS Martin Pure Pectus system (K221938). The subject device and predicate device have the same intended use, same principles of operation, and technological characteristics. No new or different questions of safety or effectiveness were identified, which supports the conclusion that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Page 7
Non-Clinical Performance Data:
In accordance with ASTM F382-24, static and dynamic four-point bending tests were conducted to compare the mechanical properties of the longer pectus bars (subject device) to the predicate device, KLS Martin Pure Pectus system (K221938). The testing met all acceptance criteria, and the results demonstrate that the longer pectus bar performance is substantially equivalent to the cleared pectus bars in K221938.
Biocompatibility:
With the exception of an alternative manufacturing processing aide, the manufacturing process steps, raw materials, and cleaning methods for the longer pectus bars are identical to the cleared predicate device KLS Martin Pure Pectus system (K221938). Additional ISO 10993-23 Irritation testing (intracutaneous reactivity test) was performed to address the new manufacturing processing aide. Refer to attachments Biocompatibility Summary and Biocompatibility Justification Pectus Longer Bars in the "Biocompatibility" section of the eSTAR.
MR Environment Safety Information:
Non-clinical testing has been performed to support the conditional safety of the subject device in the MR environment. Hazards addressed include magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-21) and torque (ASTM F2213-17), image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07, R2013), and RF induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2).
The longer pectus bars (subject device) have met all acceptance criteria to substantiate the labeling claim of "MR Conditional" in the magnetic resonance environment. Therefore, the devices listed in the KLS Martin Pure Pectus portfolio can be safely scanned under the conditions presented in the labeling.
Clinical Performance Data:
Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.
Conclusions:
Based on the evaluation, conformance to FDA-recognized standards, and the performance testing provided in this submission, device safety and effectiveness have been demonstrated. KLS Martin Pure Pectus System has the same intended use, same principles of operation, and similar technological features compared to the predicate device. Any differences in technological features between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The non-clinical performance data presented supports substantial equivalence of KLS Martin Pure Pectus System to the predicate device.
