Intended Use
The intended use of Fortoss® Vital is for placement in osseous defects to provide a mouldable, resorbable graft in periodontal, maxillofacial and dental implant surgery.
Device Story
Fortoss® Vital is a synthetic bone graft substitute consisting of a calcium salt-based powder and liquid component. Components are mixed intraoperatively by a clinician to create a homogeneous, mouldable paste. The paste is applied to osseous defects in periodontal, maxillofacial, or dental implant sites. Upon contact with viable host bone, the material acts as a scaffold; new bone grows in apposition to the implant surface, filling pores during the healing process. The material is resorbable, gradually replaced by natural bone. The device is provided sterile for single-patient use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Synthetic bone graft substitute; calcium salt-based powder and liquid components; mouldable paste form factor; resorbable; sterile; single-patient use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring bone grafting in periodontal, maxillofacial, and dental implant surgery to fill osseous defects.
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.

Bone grafting material, synthetic Synthetic Bone Graft Substitute Fortoss® Vital LYC
## Device Description
Fortoss® Vital bone graft substitute is a calcium salt based pre-measured powder and liquid component. The two components are designed to be mixed intraoperatively to produce a homogeneous paste which can then be applied to osseous defects.
The product is provided sterile for single patient use. When Fortoss® Vital is placed in direct contact with viable host bone, new bone grows in apposition to the surface of the implant, filling the pores with new bone during the healing process. As the implant resorbs, bone grows into the space previously occupied by the bone graft substitute.

### Intended Use / Indications
The intended use of Fortoss® Vital is for placement in osseous defects to provide a mouldable, resorbable graft in periodontal, maxillofacial and dental implant surgery.
## Summary of Technology
The modified Fortoss® Vital has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device and any differences do not raise any concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.
The modified Fortoss® Vital provides a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
The indications, contraindications, risks and potential adverse events are the same as the identified predicate device and are thus substantially equivalent.
### Non Clinical Testing
Data supplied demonstrates that the modified Fortoss® Vital is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and any differences do not raise any concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.
## Substantial Equivalence
Documentation provided demonstrates that the modified Fortoss® Vital is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device in basic features and intended uses. No new concerns have been identified regarding safety and effectiveness of the modified device.

Dear Ms. Whalley:
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. 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
