    Agenda: On February 27, 2015, the committee will discuss, make 
recommendations and vote on information regarding the premarket 
approval application (PMA) panel-track supplement to expand the 
indication for use for the Radiesse Injectable Implant (Radiesse) 
device to include subdermal implantation for hand augmentation to 
correct volume deficit in the hands. The proposed indication for use 
for the Radiesse device, as stated in the PMA is as follows:
    The Radiesse device is for hand augmentation to correct volume 
deficit in the hands.
    FDA has previously approved the Radiesse device for the following 
two indications for use: The Radiesse device is indicated for subdermal 
implantation for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles 
and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It is also indicated for subdermal 
implantation for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial 
fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus. The 
Radiesse device remains unchanged from the current FDA approved 
version.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no 
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post 
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the 
background material will be made publicly available at the location of 
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
