## **V. Indications for Use**
Device 300419 Strip is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Device 300419 Strip is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. posterolateral spine, ilium, and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device 300419 Strip must be used with blood or autologous bone marrow aspirate and autograft in posterolateral spine.
## **VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics**
There are slight differences between the subject and predicate device with respect to the indications for use statement; however, these differences do not alter the overall intended use of the subject device. The indications for use statement for the subject device is identical to that of Device 300397 Putty (K241802). These devices are resorbable bone void fillers intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system that are caused by trauma or surgery and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.
Device 300419 Strip and the predicate device are sterile, single use, osteoconductive bone void fillers.
The subject device consists of calcium phosphate granules (90%) and bovine collagen (10%). The calcium phosphate granules (0.5 - 2 mm) are comprised of synthetic, porous, biphasic, $\alpha$-TCP and hydroxyapatite. In comparison, the predicate device is composed of ceramic (80%) and bovine collagen (20%). The predicate devices' calcium phosphate granules contain $\beta$-TCP (85%) and hydroxyapatite (15%). The use of a different TCP polymorph in the subject device does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as the polymorphs contain the same structural elements (i.e., Calcium and Phosphate ions), and identical stoichiometry (i.e., the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 1.5). Furthermore, the reference device (K241802) is comprised of the same calcium phosphate granules as the subject device. The difference in granule to collagen ratio does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Product safety and efficacy are demonstrated through biocompatibility and animal implantation studies.
The granule size for Device 300419 Strip is slightly larger than that of the predicate device; however, as demonstrated through animal testing, there are no new or different concerns raised by the larger size.

The use of x-ray sterilization is addressed via sterilization validation; this difference does not raise any new questions. According to FDA guidance Information in Premarket Notification 510(k) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile x-ray as well as electron irradiation are well established Category A sterilization methods.
Further, biocompatibility testing of the product demonstrated that the Device 300419 Strip is biocompatible. In addition, in vivo testing in the rabbit posterolateral spine fusion model demonstrated that the Device 300419 Strip performed in a manner that was substantially equivalent to the predicates in terms of both graft absorption and bone formation.
Device 300419 Strip is similar to the predicate device in terms of intended use and biological safety profile. The technological differences between the subject and predicate device do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and the data provided within this submission support that Device 300419 Strip is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

filler guidance while the local tissue reaction was evaluated in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993-6:2016.
Device 300419 Strip was hydrated with bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or with blood and mixed 1:1 with autograft; the predicate device was hydrated with BMA and mixed 1:1 with autograft. The graft material was placed adjacent to the vertebral body as well as between decorticated transverse processes. Progression in healing versus time was observed when implanted on decorticated transverse processes in the posterolateral space. Further healing was observed at the host decorticated transverse process interfaces with new bone formation with active osteoblasts present directly on the surface of the graft material and autograft material. New bone formation directly on the surfaces of graft material and autograft was also observed. The progression and maturation of the fusions treated with Device 300419 Strip hydrated with BMA or blood were confirmed via histology. Bone remodeling and formation of new marrow spaces was seen at the decorticated host transverse process interface as new bone formation on and through the graft material which was associated with a reduction in local inflammatory cells.
The purity profile of the final finished Device 300419 Strip was evaluated through elemental impurities analysis ICP-MS and a toxicological assessment was performed according to ISO 10993-17:2023 / ICH Q3D (R2):2022. Additionally, device 300419 Strip was tested for cytotoxicity in accordance with the provisions of ISO 10993-5:2009.
