THE Cover is recommended for: - Covering of immediate or delayed extraction socket to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge.
Device Description
THE Cover Resorbable Collagen Membrane is a white, pliable membrane consisting of fibrous collagen matrix purified from porcine tendon. THE Cover act as a barrier between the gingival and the new bone that can facilitate proper bone regeneration. As soft tissues tend to grow faster than the bone can regenerate, the membrane can help protect the bone graft particles from this faster growing connective tissue. As collagen membrane will be dissolved, no additional operation is necessary. THE Cover does not have a distinction between face and back.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of a collagen membrane, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as a resorbable collagen membrane used to enhance preservation of the alveolar ridge by acting as a barrier to facilitate proper bone regeneration, which directly addresses a medical condition or ailment.

No

The device description indicates it is a resorbable collagen membrane used to act as a barrier for bone regeneration, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one. The "Intended Use" also describes covering extraction sockets to enhance preservation, confirming its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Resorbable Collagen Membrane" made from "fibrous collagen matrix purified from porcine tendon," indicating it is a physical, implantable material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover extraction sockets to enhance alveolar ridge preservation. This is a surgical/implantable device used directly on the patient's tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a resorbable collagen membrane acting as a physical barrier for tissue regeneration. This is a material implanted in the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The device itself is the treatment/support for tissue regeneration.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the membrane itself, as well as its in vivo performance in an animal model. These are typical evaluations for implantable or surgical devices, not IVDs.

In summary, the device's function and intended use are related to supporting tissue regeneration within the body, which is characteristic of a surgical or implantable device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

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

The determination of substantial equivalence was based on an assessment of non-clinical performance data obtained from in vitro characterization studies, an in vivo animal study, and biocompatibility testing of the subject device.

· Performance testing was performed to evaluated the physicochemical properties of the device as followings:

  • Appearance and dimension (Size, Thickness)
  • Composition and purity (Amino acid analysis, Heavy metal, Fat content, Loss on drying, Collagen content)
  • Enzymatic (Collagenase degradation, Trypsin resistance)
  • Structural (Denaturing temperature)
  • Mechanical properties (Tensile strength, Tear strength)

· Biocompatibility was evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1 as followings:

  • Cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5
  • Irritation per ISO 10993-10
  • Sensitization per ISO 10993-10
  • Genotoxicity per ISO 10993-3
  • Acute toxicity per ISO 10993-11
  • Subchronic toxicity per ISO 10993-11
  • Implantation per ISO 10993-6
  • Material mediated pyrogenicity per ISO 10993-11

· Sterilization process validation was performed in accordance with ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2 demonstrating a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6.

• Real time aging shelf-life study was performed in accordance with ISO 11607-1 and ISO 11607-2 demonstrating product stability and packaging integrity.

  • · The control of animal origin materials was performed as followings:
  • Controls on sourcing, collection, and handling per ISO 22442-2
  • Viral Inactivation per ISO 22442-3

An in vivo animal study conducted in a beagle mandibular intraoral model comparing THE Cover and the predicate device at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 weeks demonstrated that both devices were fully resorbable and acted as a barrier preventing ingrowth of soft tissue into the bone defect.

Membrane degradation rate and performance of THE Cover were no different to the predicate when evaluated by histological and histomorphometric analysis, providing in vivo evidence for substantial equivalence of the two devices.

No clinical data were included in this submission.

Dear Byungsun Kim:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
