The ECM material is derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). The envelope is constructed with four multilaminate sheets, perforated to allow for exudate. The drug-eluting polymer discs are secured between the multilaminate sheets on each side of the envelope. The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is intended to securely hold an implantable electronic device (IED) to create a stable environment when implanted in the body, while reducing bacterial colonization with rifampin and minocycline eluted from resorbable polymer discs in the envelope. The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is based on the existing EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope (K233991), with a change to the in vitro elution specification for minocycline. The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is provided sterile in two sizes and is intended for single use in a single patient only. K262406 Page 1 of 3 {5} Boston Scientific | EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope | Envelope Size W x L | # of discs | Rifampin | Minocycline | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Size 2 (Medium) | 6.9 cm x 6.5 cm | 2 | 10.5 mg | 9.3 mg | | Size 3 (Large) | 6.9 cm x 8.0 cm | 2 | 10.5 mg | 9.3 mg | ## Indications for Use The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is intended to securely hold a cardiac implantable electronic device or an implantable neurostimulator to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. The cardiac implantable electronic devices that may be used with the EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope include pacemaker pulse generators, defibrillators, and other cardiac implantable electronic devices. The implantable neurostimulator devices that may be used with the EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope include vagus nerve stimulators, spinal cord neuromodulators, deep brain stimulators, sacral nerve stimulators, and other neurostimulator devices. The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope contains the antibiotics rifampin and minocycline, which have been shown in preclinical testing to reduce bacterial colonization on the envelope. Overall clinical benefit has not yet been evaluated. ## Summary of Technological Characteristics The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is designed to hold IEDs securely to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. The intended use of the EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is identical to the predicate device (K233991) and its technical characteristics are substantially equivalent. The EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope is based on the previously cleared EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope (K233991), with a change to the in vitro elution specification for minocycline. The device is otherwise unchanged. The device and the predicate are both terminally sterilized via e-beam irradiation. The performance of EluPro and the predicate device all have been assessed through bench, in vitro, and in vivo testing. The results demonstrate that EluPro does not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. ## Performance Data The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. ### Performance Standards: No performance standards have been established for this device under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. ### Device Modification and Rationale for Testing: The subject device is identical in every respect to the predicate device (K233991) except for a revision to the in vitro elution (IVE) specification for minocycline. No changes were made to the device design, materials, manufacturing process, sterilization method, or labeling. Because the device itself is K262406 Page 2 of 3 {6} Boston Scientific unchanged, the biocompatibility, bench, and animal testing previously submitted and reviewed in support of the predicate device's clearance (K233991) remain applicable and are not repeated in this submission. Basis for Revised Minocycline IVE Specification: The minocycline IVE specification was revised based on a review of existing post market stability and manufacturing data. No new testing was performed, and no changes were made to the device itself. This update does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. ## Conclusion Performance data utilizing in vitro and in vivo testing demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device (K233991). The EluPro device is as safe and as effective, with equivalent performance, to the legally marketed predicate device. K262406 Page 3 of 3
