Intended Use
EQUIMATRIX™ cancellous and cortical granules are recommended for: - 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). - Filling of peri-implant defects in conjunction with products intended for Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR).
Device Description
EquiMatrix™ is a sterile, natural, non-antigenic, porous bone mineral matrix produced by the removal of organic compounds from equine bone. Due to its natural structure EquiMatrix™ is physically and chemically comparable to the mineralized matrix of human bone. The anorganic bone matrix of EquiMatrix™ has a macro and microporous structure similar to human bone. The formation and in-growth of new bone at the implantation site of EquiMatrix™ is favored due to its trabecular architecture, interconnecting macro and micro pores, and its natural consistency. It is supplied as cancellous (spongiosa) or cortical granules in a single use container, packaged in a secondary thermoform blister, and sterilized by v-irradiation.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a bone grafting material, not a software or imaging device that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The document explicitly states "Not Applicable" for sections related to imaging, training/test sets, and performance metrics relevant to AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is described for use in reconstructive treatments and the filling of defects to aid in new bone formation, which aligns with therapeutic applications.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that EquiMatrix is a bone mineral matrix used for bone augmentation and regeneration, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that EquiMatrix™ is a sterile, natural, non-antigenic, porous bone mineral matrix produced from equine bone, supplied as granules. This is a physical material, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to surgical procedures for bone grafting and regeneration in the oral cavity. These are therapeutic and reconstructive applications, not diagnostic ones.
  • Device Description: The description details a bone mineral matrix used for physical support and to promote bone growth. It does not describe a device that analyzes samples from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic results.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the material's physical and chemical characteristics, bone growth, resorption rates, and clinical outcomes related to defect healing and implant placement. These are all relevant to a bone grafting material, not a diagnostic device.
  • Key Metrics: The "Not Applicable" for Key Metrics like Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, and NPV further indicates that this is not a diagnostic device, as these metrics are crucial for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests.

In summary, EquiMatrix™ is a bone grafting material used in surgical procedures to augment and reconstruct bone. Its function is to provide a scaffold for new bone formation, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Sponsor evaluated the performance characteristics of EquiMatrix™ and Bio-Oss® with a thorough chemical and physical characterization. The physical and chemical characteristics of the products were found to be comparable. Further, in several animal studies, both products were found to grow new bone and be subsequently resorbed at similar rates. Finally, in a clinical case series, use of EquiMatrix™ resulted in defect healing and formation of new bone of sufficient quality to obtain dental implant placement.

Technological Aspects of Particulate Bone Grafting

Particulate bone grafts (cancellous and cortical) are widely used in dentistry for the treatment of periodontal bone defects, prevention of alveolar resorption following tooth extraction, and to augment deficient and atrophic sites prior to implant placement.

Although autogenous tissue has been traditionally regarded as the gold standard for bone regeneration, it has the disadvantage of limited availability, increased patient morbidity, and irregular resorptive patterns. Therefore, other sources of graft material including allogenic, alloplastic, and xenogenic particles have been developed and studied as an osteoconductive matrix for new bone formation.

Xenoarafts of bovine origin have proven to be especially useful for guided bone regeneration in stabilizing the blot clot, promoting revascularization and maintaining space during wound healing. There is also an inherent advantage in these xenografts for sinus augmentation and in the aesthetic zone as a foundation for implant and dental reconstruction due to the slower resorption rate.

K///816

Equimatrix is a particulate natural bone mineral derived from horses which is proposed as an alternative xenograff material for use where dental bone grafting is required for treatment of periodontal defects and implant site development.

Basis for Substantial Equivalence

EquiMatrix™ and Bio-Oss® have a similar physical and chemical structure. Both are porous, biocompatible bone grafts that facilitate the formation and mineralization of new bone by the osteoblast. The primary difference between the two products is the source bone: EquiMatrix™ is manufactured from equine (horse) bones, while Bio-Oss® is manufactured from bovine (cows) source material.

Brief Summary of Data Submitted in Support of Safety

EquiMatrix™ was the subject of the full range of biocompatibility tests recommended in the FDA's "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Bone Grafting Devices" and in accordance with ISO 10993. Test results confirmed product safety. Organic material has been removed from the product, and product specifications have been established to limit protein content. Further, the product is sterilized to achieve a sterility assurance level SAL 1 x 10°.

Based on the information presented herein, it has been demonstrated that EquiMatrix™ is substantially equivalent to Bio-Oss®, and safe and effective for the proposed indications for use.
