Intended Use
SKaffold NMX is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. extremities, and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. SKaffold NMX is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
Device Story
SKaffold NMX is a pre-mixed, moldable, biocompatible bone void filler putty/paste. Composed of calcium phosphate powder in a bioinert polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer carrier. Intended for use by surgeons to fill non-structural bony voids or gaps in the extremities and pelvis. Applied directly to the defect site; resorbs over time and is replaced by host bone during the healing process. Provided sterile for single-use in 5 cc and 10 cc kits. Benefits patient by facilitating bone ingrowth and natural healing in osseous defects.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and in vivo pre-clinical large animal studies (rabbit cancellous bone defect model). Bench testing compared chemistry (FTIR, XRD), crystallinity (XRD), physical form (SEM), porosity (Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry), and solubility (ICP-AES). Animal studies at 4 and 12 weeks demonstrated gradual remodeling, host bone replacement, and normal healing without abnormal tissue response.
Technological Characteristics
Calcium phosphate powder in bioinert polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer carrier. Moldable putty/paste form. Sterilized via radiation (25kGy - 40kGy) per ISO 11137-2006. Biocompatibility tested per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for filling bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system (extremities and pelvis) that are not intrinsic to structural stability. Applicable to surgically created osseous defects or those resulting from traumatic injury. Contraindicated for defects requiring structural support.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

### Predicate Devices as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (a) (3)
The subject device is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the following legally marketed device (predicate) - Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123).
### Device Description as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (a) (4)
SKaffold NMX is a pre-mixed moldable and biocompatible putty/paste bone void filler. SKaffold NMX consists of a mixture of calcium phosphate powder in a bioinert polyethylene glycol (PEG) based polymer that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. The 5 cc and 10 cc SKaffold NMX kits are provided sterile and are for single use only.
{4}------------------------------------------------
## Intended Use as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (a) (5)
SKaffold NMX is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. extremities, and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. SKaffold NMX is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
# Summary of Technological Characteristics as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (a) (6)
SKaffold NMX consists of moldable, biocompatible, resorbable calcium phosphate based material that can be applied directly to the intended sites. The polymer carrier used in SKaffold NMX is bioinert and biocompatible with host tissue and presents no new safety issues.
The intended use, and critical specifications (chemistry, crystallinity, physical form, porosity, and solubility) of SKaffold NMX are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123).
# Summary of Non-clinical Tests as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (b) (1)
Critical specifications (chemistry, crystallinity, physical form, porosity, and solubility) of SKaffold NMX were compared with those of Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123). Chemistry was determined by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Xray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. Crystallinity was determined by X-ray Diffraction. Physical form was determined by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Porosity was determined by Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry. Solubility was measured by in vitro dissolution method measuring Ca2+ ion concentration in solution using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy. Performance test results demonstrated that SKaffold NMX has substantially equivalent critical specifications (chemistry, crystallinity, physical form, porosity, and solubility) as the predicate device Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123).
SKaffold NMX biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with the standards set forth in ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices and the test results demonstrated that SKaffold NMX met the requirements of the ISO standards.
In vivo, pre-clinical, large animal studies were performed in a cancellous bone defect model and showed gradual remodeling and replacement of implanted material by host bone. Histological, radiographic and histopathologic analyses were performed at 4 and 12 weeks that showed normal bone healing at the periphery of the cylindrical defects. No abnormal tissue responses were noted to the implanted device.
{5}------------------------------------------------
SKaffold NMX will be provided as a single use. sterile product. The radiation dose of 25kGy - 40 kGy will be validated in accordance with ISO 11137-2006, Sterilization of Health Care Products - Radiation to Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) 10°.
The results of risk management indicate that the identified hazards were acceptable and/or mitigated to an acceptable level with the residual risk evaluation deemed as acceptable per defined procedures.
Non-clinical animal data in a well defined rabbit model demonstrated that SKaffold NMX is resorbed over time and allows bone ingrowth as the device is resorbing. SKaffold NMX maintains the previously demonstrated safety profile of the predicate device and is substantially equivalent to Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123).
# Summary of Clinical Tests as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (b) (2)
SKaffold NMX does not require clinical test.
# Conclusion as required by 21 CFR 807.92 (3)
The manufacturer compared the critical specifications - chemistry, crystallinity, physical form, porosity, dissolution/solubility of SKaffold NMX with the predicate device. The results indicated that the device characteristics for SKaffold NMX were the same as those of the predicate device. Therefore, SKaffold NMX bone void filler is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Callos Bone Void Filler (K051123).
