Intended Use

Rafugen™ DBM is intended for use as a bone void filler in bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., pelvis and extremities) not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The voids or gaps may be surgically created defects or defects created by traumatic injury to the bone. Rafugen™ DBM is resorbed/remodeled and is replaced by host bone during the healing process.

Device Description

Rafugen™ DBM is a human bone allograft product containing human DBM (demineralized bone matrix), CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose), Starch and Glycerol. It is intended for use in filling bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Rafugen™ DBM is a ready-to use moldable gel formulation provided pre-filled in syringes of various volumes and is intended for single patient use. It is offered in six volumes: 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 cc. The Rafugen™ DBM can be either directly applied into the defect from the syringe, using the cap tip, or extruded for molding and insertion into the defect by hand.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the device Rafugen™ DBM, which is a resorbable calcium salt bone void filler. This document is a regulatory submission for market clearance and not a detailed clinical study report. Therefore, it does not contain the typical information one would find in a clinical trial publication regarding acceptance criteria and performance of a device based on clinical endpoints or reader studies for AI.

However, based on the non-clinical performance data section, I can extract information related to the device's technical acceptance criteria and the studies performed to meet them.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, recognizing the limitations of the document type for certain aspects:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document mentions a "rabbit femoral condyle model" and a "rabbit critical size femoral defect model" for performance testing, and an "athymic rat assay (ectopic pouch model)" for osteoinductive potential. However, specific sample sizes (number of animals) for these animal studies are not provided in this 510(k) summary. The data provenance is pre-clinical animal studies, likely conducted by the manufacturer or contracted labs. There is no information about country of origin of the data provided. These are prospective studies in the sense that they were designed and executed to support the regulatory submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable as the document describes non-clinical (animal) studies, not studies involving human experts establishing ground truth for a diagnostic AI device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This information is not applicable as the device is a bone void filler, not an AI diagnostic tool that would involve multi-reader studies.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable as the device is a medical implant, not an AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the animal studies:

  • Osteoinductive potential: The ground truth would be based on histological and/or imaging analysis of the ectopic bone formation in the athymic rat model, likely interpreted by scientific experts in the field.
  • Bone growth and remodeling: The ground truth would be based on histological, radiography, and/or micro-CT analysis of bone formation and remodeling within the rabbit femoral defect model, again interpreted by experts.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The device is a manufactured medical product, not an AI algorithm that requires a training set. The "design specifications" and manufacturing processes are validated, not "trained."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

Rafugen™ DBM is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to materials in that it consists of human demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and an inert resorbable nontissue additive or carrier. The final composition of Rafugen™ DBM was found to be biocompatible and to meet its design specifications. The addition of starch and CMC to the formulation does not raise additional or different questions of safety and effectiveness.

GRAFTON® DBM is indicated for use as a bone graft extender and for use in the posterolateral spine, whereas Cellumed is not seeking those indications for Rafugen™ DBM. The narrower indication does not raise any additional questions of safety and effectiveness.

9. Non-Clinical Performance Data

As part of demonstrating safety and effectiveness of Rafugen™ DBM and in showing substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Cellumed completed a number of tests. In accordance with the "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device,"June, 2003, the following testing has been performed to support substantial equivalence:

  • Chemical and physical properties ●
  • Biocompatibility ●
  • Sterility
  • furthermore Shelf Life
  • Comparison performance testing in rabbit femoral condyle model

{6}------------------------------------------------

In addition, the device was tested for osteoinductive potential using an athymic rat assay (ectopic pouch model). Osteoinduction assay results using the athymic rodent assay should not be interpreted to predict clinical performance in human subjects.

Validation was performed for the Rafugen™ DBM processing to demonstrate inactivation of a panel of model viruses.

The device was tested for material mediated pyrogenicity. The test sample of Rafugen™ DBM was extracted in endotoxin free water, and evaluated by Endosafe" PTS™ system. Under the conditions of this study, no endotoxin level showed above 0.5 EU/mL in all five batches. The test extract was judged as non-pyrogenic, and the test sample satisfied the requirements for the absence of pyrogens.

Rafugen™ DBM meets all the requirements for overall design, sterilization, biocompatibility, labeling, and performance. The testing for osteoinductive potential of both devices was demonstrated using a validated athymic rat assay, and comparison performance testing conducted in a rabbit critical size femoral defect model demonstrated equivalent bone formation and remodeling.

10. Clinical Performance Data

There was no clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the device.

11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device as a result of the differences in technological characteristics.

It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the minor differences between the Rafugen™ DBM and the Grafton® DBM predicate device do not raise new questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Rafugen™ DBM is therefore determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

12. Conclusion

The submitted 510(k) demonstrates Rafugen™ DBM is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
