Intended Use
Tri-Ostetic is an osteoconductive putty that is intended to be used to fill voids and gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. These gaps or voids may be located in the extremities, spine, pelvis, or cranium. The putty may be shaped and pressed into the void by hand or inserted into a syringe and injected into the surgical site. The Tri-Ostetic paste set in situ or ex situ provides a void filler that can augment hardware to support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The set putty acts as a temporary support medium and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque. Tri-Ostetic is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone ingrowth occurs.
Device Story
Tri-Ostetic is a sterile, osteoconductive, bioresorbable, radio-opaque bone void filler. Supplied as a powder and distilled water in separate containers; mixed to form a paste. Applied by hand or syringe into skeletal voids/gaps. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to fill non-structural defects and augment hardware. Acts as a temporary support medium; resorbs as bone ingrowth occurs. Benefits include biocompatibility and ease of application.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by materials data and bench testing.
Technological Characteristics
Osteoconductive bone void filler composed of calcium-based compounds and distilled water. Supplied as sterile powder and liquid for single-patient use. Radio-opaque, bioresorbable material. Form factor: putty/paste. No electronic or software components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for filling non-structural bony voids or gaps in the extremities, spine, pelvis, or cranium. Used as a temporary support medium to augment hardware for bone fragment support. Not for structural support during healing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A resorbable calcium salt bone void filler device is a resorbable implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the extremities, spine, and pelvis that are caused by trauma or surgery and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1(e) of this chapter for the availability of this guidance.

#### DEVICE INFORMATION
#### A. INTENDED USES/INDICATIONS
Tri-Ostetic is an osteoconductive putty that is intended to fill voids and gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. These gaps or voids may be located in the extremities, spine, pelvis, or cranium.
The putty may be shaped and pressed into the void by hand or inserted into a syringe and injected into the surgical site. The Tri-Ostetic paste set in situ provides a void filler that can augment hardware to support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The set putty acts as a temporary support medium and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The implant is radio-opaque Tri-Ostetic is biocompatible and resorbs in the body as bone ingrowth occurs.
#### B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Tri-Ostetic is a sterile osteoconductive bone void filler. Tri-Ostetic consists of a pre-measured formulation of distilled water and calcium-based compounds in a container that can be used to prepare a putty. Tri-Ostetic forms a paste when mixed with sterile distilled water. Both powder and water are supplied pre-measured in separate containers. The putty can be shaped into an implant or inserted into a syringe and injected into the surgical site (i.e., bony voids or gaps of skeletal system). Tri-Ostetic powder and the water are supplied sterile for single patient use only. Tri-Ostetic is biocompatible, bioresorbable and radio-opaque. Tri-Ostetic resorbs in the human body as bone ingrowth occurs when applied according to its indications for use.
#### C. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE INFORMATION
Tri-Ostetic is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed, predicate device Cem-Ostetic™. The products have identical indications-for-use and identical contraindications. They also have the same warnings, precautions and potential adverse events. The technical characteristics of Tri-Ostetic are very similar to that of the predicate device. The safety and effectiveness of Tri-Ostetic are adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials data, and test results provided in the document submitted within the scope of this Pre-Market Notification.

Dear Dr. Génin:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
