TRILURON
Fidia Farmaceutici S.p.A.
INDICATION FOR USE: Treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in
patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy, and to simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen
DESCRIPTION:
- Viscous solution consisting of a high molecular weight (500,000–730,000 daltons) fraction of purified sodium hyaluronate (Hyalectin®) in buffered
physiological sodium chloride, having a pH of 6.8-7. - The sodium hyaluronate is extracted from rooster combs
- Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar of the glycosaminoglycan family and is a long-chain polymer containing repeating disaccharide units of Naglucuronate-N-acetylglucosamine
- Administered by intra-articular injection
EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY:
- Retrospective analysis of data prospectively collected from two randomized, controlled trials to determine the effectiveness of TRILURON vs. Hyalgan (control device)
- Both have identical chemical formulation and differ only in that a lower
dose is injected (3 weekly injections for TRILURON™ compared to 5 weekly injections of Hyalgan) - Primary effectiveness endpoint: Mean change from baseline at 26 weeks in WOMAC Pain scores: TRILURON was non-inferior to Hyalgan
- Primary evidence of safety of Hyalgan is directly applicable to TRILURON and has already been established

Leica FL400 surgical microscope accessory filter
Leica
INDICATION FOR USE: Surgical microscope accessory filter set for viewing fluorescence of fluorophores comprising an excitation filter for blue spectral range 380 nm – 430 nm and an observation filter comprising the long-wave blue, green, yellow and red spectrum in the spectral band greater than 444 nm.
Surgical microscope accessory used in fluorescent visualization of suspected grade III or IV gliomas during neurosurgery.
GENERIC DEVICE TYPE: Diagnostic neurosurgical microscope filter
- Device intended for use during neurosurgery to visualize fluorescence and enhance visualization of tissue associated with a specific disease or condition
RISKS and MITIGATIONS (SPECIAL CONTROLS):
- False positive: visualization of fluorescence when in fact no target fluorophore is present: Non-clinical performance testing and Labeling
- False negative: no visualization of fluorescence when in fact the target fluorophore is present: Non-clinical performance testing and Labeling
REG PATHWAY: De Novo request for Accessory
- Microscope cleared via 510(k) pathway
- De novo request for filter as ‘accessory’
- Regulation Number: 21 CFR 882.4950
- Regulation Name: Diagnostic neurosurgical microscope filter
