Dear Alexander Proctor:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

## Substantial Equivalence:
The subject OsteoProbe device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to indications, function, and performance. The sterilization, distribution, shelf-life, and biocompatibility of the single-use disposable of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
## Preclinical Testing:
The following validations and testing were performed on the OsteoProbe device:
- . Sterilization validation testing (AAMI TIR28, ISO 10993-7, & ISO 11135)
- . Distribution Testing (ASTM D4169, ASTM D4332-1)
- Shelf Life (ASTM F1980, ASTM F2096, ASTM F88)
- Biocompatibility
- o Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5)
{4}------------------------------------------------
- O Sensitization (ISO 10993-10)
