Intended Use
α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material is a synthetic calcium phosphate hydroxylapatitic material intended to aid in the healing of periodontal bone wall defects, extraction socket defects, and for repair of cysts or other defects in the alveolar ridge or wall.
Device Story
α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material Kit is a synthetic, calcium phosphate hydroxylapatitic bone graft material provided as a dry powder. Prior to clinical application, the powder is mixed with sterile water or saline to form a paste. The material is applied by a clinician to periodontal bone wall defects, extraction sockets, or alveolar ridge defects to aid in healing, reduce pocket depth, and increase bone thickness/height. The device acts as a bone filler/augmenter. It is intended for prescription use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing included skin irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, and rabbit intramuscular implantation. Material characterization included elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to confirm conformity to ASTM F 1185 standards. Sterility was verified per USP 23.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic calcium phosphate hydroxylapatitic material. Conforms to ASTM F 1185 (Composition of Ceramic Hydroxylapatite for Surgical Use). Provided as a dry powder to be mixed with sterile water or saline. Sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring bone filling or augmentation in periodontal bone wall defects, extraction socket defects, and repair of cysts or other defects in the alveolar ridge or wall.
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.

3. DEVICE NAME
Proprietary Name: α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material Kit
Common/Usual Name: Bone Graft Material
Classification Name: Endosseous Implant for Bone Filling and/or Augmentation
4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material Kit is a synthetic, calcium phosphate hydroxylapatitic material intended to aid in the healing of periodontal bone wall defects, to reduce alveolar bone pocket depth and increase alveolar bone thickness and height, to aid in gain in clinical attachment and for repair of cysts or other defects in the alveolar ridge or wall. α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material Kit is provided in dry white powder form, it contains no pyrophosphates or amorphous tricalcium phosphate. The device is mixed with sterile water or saline just prior to its application to the desired periodontal defect.
5. PREDICATE DEVICES
α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material Kit is substantially equivalent to devices currently in U.S. commercial distribution which are classified as endosseous implant for bone filling and/or augmentation. Examples of other such products include OsteoGen® (manufactured by Impladent, Ltd.) and HAPSET® (manufactured by Lifecore Biomedical). All three products are forms of apatitic calcium phosphate with similar performance in the body.

## 6. DEVICE TESTING
Testing of α-BSM™ Bone Substitute Material was designed to characterize the finished material and assure the biocompatibility of the device. Biocompatibility testing included Skin Irritation, Sensitization, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Pyrogenicity, and Rabbit IM. Additionally, elemental analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and sterility testing (USP 23) demonstrated that the device conforms to ASTM Standard F 1185 for Composition of Ceramic Hydroxylapatite for Surgical Use and that the material is sterile.

Dear Dr. Lee:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
