The material is a mixture of alkylene oxide polymer-based materials and carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt. The material is virtually odorless, off-white in color and can be spread easily with minimal adhesion to surgical gloves. The bone putty requires no kneading prior to application. When applied manually to surgically incised or traumatically broken bone, AHBP™ Absorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty achieves local control of bleeding by acting as a mechanical barrier (tamponade). The bone putty will be dispersed and substantially absorbed within a period of 8 days. {1}------------------------------------------------ K140117 # Intended Use (Indications) Orthocon AHBPpress™ Absorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty is indicated for use as an absorbable implant material for the control of bleeding from bone surfaces. # Purpose of Submission Orthocon intends to produce an alternate packaged configuration (strip) of its hemostatic bone putty as a product line extension to the AHBP™ Absorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty. # Substantial Equivalence This submission supports the position that the Orthocon AHBP press™ Absorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty is substantially equivalent to a number of pre-enactment and previously cleared devices, and is exactly the same as the predicate Orthocon AHBP™ Absorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty with the exception of the packaging configuration. # Performance Data Testing was conducted to verify the device's handling properties, to characterize the device's performance over a range of temperatures and to evaluate the device's dissolution and swelling properties. The following bench studies were completed: smearability stickiness, stiffness, temperature sensitivity, and dissolution and swelling. # Biocompatibility Testing Testing was conducted to evaluate the device's biocompatibility in accordance with the recommendations of ISO 10993. The following biocompatibility studies were conducted on the final, finished, gamma-irradiation sterilized device and in accordance with the GLP requirements: cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, implantation / subacute toxicity, hemolysis, and pyrogenicity. Sterile mesh used in the packaging of the strip was also evaluated for cytotoxicity. # In Vivo Performance Testing Testing included animal studies to demonstrate intraoperative in vivo hemostasis, resistance to irrigation, ability to remove the device, and to characterize its safety and absorption time. # Conclusions Orthocon. Inc. believes that the information provided establishes that similar legally marketed devices have been used for the same clinical applications as Orthocon AHBPpress™ and that Substantial Equivalence to the predicate device has been established. The data presented demonstrate that the device is suitable for its indicated use. The materials from which the Orthocon device is fabricated have an established history of use, and the devices have been tested in accordance with applicable FDA guidelines. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
