Trade/Device Name: OrthoGold
Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4685
Regulation Name: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Device for Treatment of Chronic Wounds
Regulatory Class: Class II
Product Code: PZL
Dated: October 28, 2019
Received: October 29, 2019

Dear Jennifer Daudelin:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced
above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the
enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the
enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance
with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a
premarket approval application (PMA). 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.

Please be advised that FDA’s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA
has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act’s
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see
https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS)
regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for
combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-
542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, “Misbranding by reference to premarket notification” (21 CFR Part
807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part
803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including
information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn
(https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the
Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See
the DICE website (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatoryassistance/contact-us-division-industry-and-consumer-education-dice) for more information or contact DICE
by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).

OrthoGold 100™K182682ISAI

Indications for Use
The OrthoGold 100™ is indicated to provide acoustic pressure shockwaves in the treatment of chronic, full-thickness diabetic foot ulcers with wound areas measuring no larger than 16 cm2, which extend through the epidermis, dermis, tendon, or capsule, but without bone exposure. The OrthoGold 100 is indicated for adult (22 years and older), diabetic patients presenting with diabetic foot ulcers greater than 30 days in duration and is indicated for use in conjunction with standard diabetic ulcer care.

Device Description
The OrthoGold 100™ is a pulsed acoustic wave device. It includes an electrically powered generator to generate transient compressed air that rapidly expands to create the acoustic waves, which in turn are propagated through a water-filled coupling membrane attached to the hand-held applicator. The hand-held applicator reflects the acoustic waves towards the treatment area through a silicone membrane and ultrasound transmission gel.

Performance Data – Non-Clinical
The OrthoGold 100™ has been evaluated through non-clinical performance testing. The OrthoGold 100™ was tested for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and pressure field measurements. In addition, probe cover testing and transport verification and validation was also conducted. The testing demonstrated that the OrthoGold 100™ met performance requirements and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The table below compares the OrthoGold 100 characteristics to the predicate devices.

Performance Data – Clinical
A literature review represents the published literature with the subject device through systematic, comprehensive literature searches and those articles known to the manufacturer. These studies demonstrate the successful clinical use with the OrthoGold technology in 224 diabetic foot ulcers. The studies show significant results in complete wound healing and reduction of wound area. The data from these studies establish the efficacy of the subject device to treat chronic, full-thickness diabetic foot ulcers with wound areas measuring no larger than 16 cm2, which extend through the epidermis, dermis, tendon, or capsule, but without bone exposure and the safety of the device as shown with the lack of adverse events.

Substantial Equivalence
The OrthoGold 100™ has the same indications for use and similar design features as compared with the predicate systems. The bench testing and clinical data demonstrates that the performance characteristics of the OrthoGold 100™ are equivalent to those of the other legally marketed extracorporeal shock wave devices, and therefore supports a determination of Substantial Equivalence for the proposed indications for use. Different questions of safety and effectiveness were not raised between the subject and predicate devices.
