Intended Use
Straumann PrefGel is intended for topical application onto exposed root surfaces during periodontal surgery in order to remove the smear layer.
Device Description
Straumann PrefGel is a neutral EDTA formulation intended for topical application onto exposed root surfaces during periodontal surgery in order to remove the smear-layer. Mechanical debridement of a root surface inevitably produces a smear-layer, which in turn may prevent or retard periodontal healing. Exposure of collagen fibers may be important for linking fibrin in the blood clot to the root surface. Clinical studies with PrefGel have demonstrated the ability to remove the smear-layer and to expose the collagenous matrix of dentin surfaces.
More Information

None

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and mechanical properties of a gel for periodontal surgery, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device application is for periodontal surgery to aid in healing.

No

This device is intended for the treatment of exposed root surfaces by removing the smear layer to aid in periodontal healing, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical product (a neutral EDTA formulation) intended for topical application, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for topical application onto exposed root surfaces during periodontal surgery to remove the smear layer. This is a direct application to a patient's tissue during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the topical application and its function in preparing the root surface for healing.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health state. The performance studies focus on manufacturing processes, biocompatibility, sterilization, and simulated use, not on diagnostic testing of biological samples.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is applied in vivo (in the body) during surgery.

Dear Jennifer Jackson:

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. 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply

1

with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

| Device Description: | Straumann PrefGel is a neutral EDTA formulation intended for
topical application onto exposed root surfaces during
periodontal surgery in order to remove the smear-layer.
Mechanical debridement of a root surface inevitably produces a
smear-layer, which in turn may prevent or retard periodontal
healing. Exposure of collagen fibers may be important for
linking fibrin in the blood clot to the root surface. Clinical
studies with PrefGel have demonstrated the ability to remove
the smear-layer and to expose the collagenous matrix of dentin
surfaces. |
| Indications For Use | Straumann PrefGel is intended for topical application onto
exposed root surfaces during periodontal surgery in order to
remove the smear layer. |
| Intended Use: | PrefGel has been shown to effectively remove the smear-layer.
PrefGel has also been shown to produce a fibrillar collagenous
meshwork on the exposed and conditioned root surface by
selective removal of mineral. |
| Materials: | Edetate disodium [EDTA] 2 H2O 24% neutral in carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC) gel |
| Technological
Characteristics: | This submission describes an alternate packaging system for the
Straumann® PrefGel® product. We have proposed changes to
the primary, secondary and tertiary packaging. The therapeutic
material (EDTA 2 H2O 24% neutral in CMC gel) remains
unchanged, as does the Indications For Use. The table that
follows provides a side-by-side comparison of the subject
device to the predicate device. |
| Performance Data: | Test data to support the evaluation of the Straumann® PrefGel®
product has been included directly or by reference as follows:
• Clean room qualification per ISO14644-1.
• Secondary packaging equipment qualification consistent
with the ISO 11607 series of standards.
• Syringe filling labeling and assembly process validation.
• Transport validation per ISTA 2A to assure proposed
packaging adequately protects the product.
• Biocompatibility assessment per ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5
and ISO 10993-18.
• Ethylene oxide sterilization validation per ISO 11135 and
ISO 11737-2.
• Ethylene oxide residuals testing per ISO 10993-7.
• Simulated use validation to assure that clinicians will be able
to properly use the proposed Tip Cap. |
| Conclusions: | Based upon our assessment of the design and applicable
performance data, the subject devices have been determined to
be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices |
