You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Contrast enhancement may be used to monitor the embolization procedure using fluoroscopy. The device is intended for single use and is provided sterile. Torpedo Gelatin Foam is similar in design to the predicate device, EmboCube Embolization Gelatin (K181021), as both of them provide a mechanical barrier to blood flow in the vasculature and are delivered using catheters. The changes to the device are as follows: a) A variant of the gelatin cube device has been added to the range, b) A new packaging has been added, c) A blunt stylet has been included. The subject device is available in two sizes, as the predicate device. The subject and predicate devices differ in shape. The predicate EmboCube Embolization Gelatin (K181021) has a cubic shape, whether dry or Comparison to hydrated. At the dry state, the subject Torpedo Gelatin Foam is compressed Predicate into a cylindrical shape. In the uncompressed / hydrated state, the subject Torpedo Gelatin Foam is a solid rectangle of the same section as the predicate (2.5 mm or 5.0 mm), only the length differs. Both the subject device and the predicate device, EmboCube Embolization Gelatin, K181021 are made wholly from the identical resorbable porcine qelatin. > The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices have been evaluated through biocompatibility, bench and animal testing to provide evidence of substantial equivalence of the Torpedo Gelatin Foam to the predicate device, EmboCube Embolization Gelatin (K181021). > No performance standards have been established under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. However, vascular embolization devices are subiect to the special controls specified in "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff – Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices", issued on December 29, 2004. In addition, the subject device follows the FDA Draft Guidance on Medical Devices Containing Materials Derived from Animal Sources (Except for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices), issued on January 23, 2014. > A battery of tests performed on Torpedo Gelatin Foam were designed to demonstrate that the device meets critical design specifications as well as clinical performance attributes for its intended use. Where appropriate, the tests were based on the requirements of the following documents: - FDA Guidance Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular ● and Neurovascular Embolization Devices (December 29, 2004) - ASTM F2096-11, Standard Test Method for Detecting Gross Leaks in ● Medical Packaging by Internal Pressurization (Bubble Test) - ASTM F1140/F1140M-13, Standard Test Methods for Internal ● Pressurization Failure Resistance of Unrestrained Packages for Medical Applications - ASTM F88/F88M-15, Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of .

Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems - ISO 7864:2016, Sterile hypodermic needles for single use --● Requirements and test methods Torepedo Gelatin Foam was evaluated for various performance attributes to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the device to the predicate. The following is a list of all testing that was successfully completed: - Macroscopic appearance (visual inspection) ● - Compressed (dry) torpedo size ● - Maximum swelling (hydrated size) ● - Humidity (H₂0 analysis) - Sterility - Pvrogenicity (Bacterial endotoxins) ● - Deliverability with a stylet ● - Deliverability with catheters and radiopaque contrast agents - . Flush test carried out on aged and sterilized subject devices - Resorption . - Embolic effect . - . Comparative FTIR analysis for any foreign material transfer Safety & Performance Tests (continued) Biocompatibility testing was adopted from the predicate device EmboCube Embolization Gelatin, K181021. The only difference between the subject device and the legally marketed predicate device is that the subject device will be crimped and shaped into a torpedo. FTIR spectroscopy was performed in order to verify that there is no transfer of material from the crimper to the subject device. No further biocompatibility testing was required to qualify the subject device. An animal study was conducted on seven test (Torpedo Gelatin Foam) and eight control (EmboCube Embolization Gelatin, K181021) adult female sheep in the renal arteries over a period of 4 weeks. The animal study evaluated vascular safety, local tissue effects, and in vivo degradation of the Torpedo Gelatin Foam. Angiography and/or histopathology confirmed that the Torpedo Gelatin Foam provided an embolic effect in renal arteries for at least four weeks. Normal flow of the renal arterial vasculature was never recovered in any animal at any time point. There was no significant difference for artery patency between any articles at any time point. All test animals had a necrotized renal tissue, indicative of successful embolization. The animals were clinically normal throughout the study duration. The difference between the modified device and the cleared device. Biosphere EmboCube Embolization Gelatin [K181021] has raised no new issues. {6}------------------------------------------------
