Intended Use
CONFIRM™ Bioactive is intended for use as a bone void filler and autograft extender for voids or gaps that are not intrinsit to the stability of the bony structure. These osseous defects may be surgically created from traumatic injury to the bone. CONFIRM™ Crunch is intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, pelvis, and posterolateral spine) and must be combined with bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft. CONFIRM™ Putty, Gel, Plus Gel, and Plus Crunch are intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities and pelvis) and must be combined with bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft. CONFIRM™ resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Story
CONFIRM™ Bioactive is a resorbable, osteoconductive, and osteostimulative bone void filler. It consists of Bioglass, hyaluronic acid, and glycerol. Available in putty, gel, and crunch forms to suit surgical needs. Used by surgeons to fill non-structural bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. The material is packed into the defect site alongside bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft. It acts as a scaffold, guiding new bone growth in apposition to the implant; the material resorbs over time and is replaced by host bone and connective tissue. Benefits include facilitating bone regeneration in traumatic or surgically created defects.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and in vivo performance testing using a tibial defect model and a posterolateral spine fusion model, conducted per FDA Class II Special Controls guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Resorbable bone void filler composed of Bioglass (ASTM F1538), hyaluronic acid, and glycerol. Available in putty, gel, and crunch forms. Osteoconductive and osteostimulative properties. Non-electronic, mechanical device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring bone void filling or autograft extension in non-structural osseous defects (surgically created or traumatic). Used in extremities, pelvis, and posterolateral spine (Crunch) or extremities and pelvis (Putty/Gel/Plus variants). Must be combined with bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

# Purpose:
The purpose of this submission is to request clearance of the CONFIRM™™ Bioactive.
# Device Description:
CONFIRM™ Bioactive is a resorbable bone void filler for the repair of bony defects. It is an osteoconductive and osteostimulative material that guides bone regeneration. When CONFIRM™ is placed in direct contact with host bone, new bone grows in apposition to the implant. As the implant resorbs, bone and other connective tissues grow into the space previously occupied by CONFIRM™.
CONFIRM™ consists of Bioglass (per ASTM F1538), hyaluronic acid, and glycerol, and is available in putty, gel, and crunch forms to accommodate surgical and anatomical needs.
# Indications for Use:
CONFIRM™ Bioactive is intended for use as a bone void filler and autograft extender for voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These osseous defects may be surgically created or created from traumatic injury to the bone. CONFIRM™ Crunch is intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, pelvis, and
{5}------------------------------------------------
posterolateral spine) and must be combined with bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft. CONFIRM™ Putty, Plus Putty, Gel, Plus Gel, and Plus Crunch are intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities and pelvis) and must be combined with bone marrow aspirate and autogenous bone graft. CONFIRM™ resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
# Performance Data:
In vivo performance testing (tibial defect model and posterolateral spine fusion model) and biocompatibility testing were conducted in accordance with the "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff; Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device," June 2, 2003. Performance data demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices.
# Basis of Substantial Equivalence:
CONFIRM™ Bioactive is similar to the predicate devices with respect to technical characteristics, performance, and intended use. The information provided within this premarket notification supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device(s). CONFIRM™ implants are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as or better than the predicate devices.
