Intended Use
Geistlich Bio-Oss® is intended for the following uses: - Augmentation or reconstructive treatment of the alveolar ridge; - Filling of infrabony periodontal defects; - Filling of defects after root resection, apicoectomy, and cystectomy; - Filling of extraction sockets to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge; - Elevation of the maxillary sinus floor; - Filling of periodontal defects in conjunction with products intended for Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) and Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR); and - Filling of peri-implant defects in conjunction with products intended for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR).
Device Story
Geistlich Bio-Oss is a biocompatible bone mineral matrix derived from purified bovine cancellous bone. Provided as granules or blocks, it features interconnected macro- and micropores, high porosity, and hydrophilicity. Used by dental clinicians in surgical settings for bone augmentation, ridge preservation, and defect filling. Acts as an osteoconductive scaffold to support bone regeneration. Clinicians place the material into the surgical site, often alongside GTR/GBR membranes. The device provides a structural matrix for new bone growth, facilitating clinical outcomes in periodontal and implant dentistry.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evidence includes sterilization validation (ISO 11137), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), stability testing (ICH Q1A), and viral inactivation studies (ISO 22442-3, ICH Q5A). Physical and chemical characterization of validation lots from new suppliers confirmed equivalence to finished product specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Bovine-derived bone mineral matrix. Highly porous, hydrophilic, interconnected macro/micropores. Configurations: granules (0.25-1.0mm, 1.0-2.0mm) or blocks (1x1x2cm). Sterilization: Gamma or X-ray irradiation. Standards: ISO 11137 (sterilization), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 22442-3 (viral inactivation).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring alveolar ridge augmentation, reconstruction, or bone defect filling (infrabony, post-resection, post-extraction, or peri-implant) in dental/periodontal procedures, often in conjunction with GTR/GBR products.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Bone grafting material is a material such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, polylactic and polyglycolic acids, or collagen, that is intended to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal or bony defects of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for bone grafting materials that do not contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. The special control is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Bone Grafting Material Devices.” (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) Class III (premarket approval) for bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. Bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic, such as biological response modifiers, require premarket approval.
(c)
*Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear Roshana Ahmed:
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 (the 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 available 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.

The purpose of this submission is to obtain clearance for the use of x-ray irradiation as an alternative terminal sterilization method and the use of animal sourced materials from a new additional supplier in New Zealand and new abattoir in Australia. In addition, the product is being offered in two new volumes: 0.125 g (particle size 0.25 - 1.0 mm), 1.0 g (particle size 0.25 - 1.0 mm), and 1.0 g (particle size 1.0 - 2.0 mm). These changes do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and are addressed by the performance data cited below and provided within the submission.
Further to these changes, the product shelf life has been extended from 3 years to 4 years, storage temperatures for raw bones were updated, the product specification was clarified, the secondary packaging for the 20 mL vial was changed to a blister pack, and the gamma sterilization load was increased to improve production capacity. These changes were assessed, validated as appropriate, and documented under the quality system.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### VII. Performance Data
Mechanical testing (K122984), biocompatibility (K190754), sterilization (K122894), shelf-life (K190754), and non-clinical performance testing (K122894) from the applicant's own predicate and reference device were leveraged in support of substantial equivalence.
Based on the results of assessment, the following evaluations were undertaken:
- . sterilization validation per ISO 11137-1, ISO 11137-2, and ISO 11137-3
- biocompatibility assessments per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5
- stability testing per ICH Q1A (R) stability testing guidelines ●
- characterization of structural and mechanical properties
- viral inactivation studies per ISO 22442-3 and ICH Q5A(R2) Draft Version ●
In addition, validation of raw materials from the new supplier was undertaken. The physical and chemical composition and appearance of the validation lots were characterized using the same tests and acceptance criteria as the final, finished product.
## VIII. Conclusion
The subject device is identical to the predicate device. The addition of x-ray irradiation as an alternative terminal sterilization method and introduction of an additional raw material supplier do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, it is concluded that Geistlich Bio-Oss® is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
