Intended Use

Cove Putty is intended to fill voids and gaps in the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the bony structure. The product is indicated for use with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine and pelvis. The voids or gaps may be surgically created defects or the result of traumatic injury to the bone. Cove Putty is hydrated with saline at the point-of-use.

OsteoCove Putty is intended to fill voids and gaps in the skeletal system that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The product is indicated for use with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine and pelvis. The voids or gaps may be surgically created defects or the result of traumatic injury to the bone. OsteoCove Putty is hydrated with saline at the point-of-use.

Device Description

Cove Putty is formulated into a putty which consists of a collagen scaffold containing ceramic granules and a resorbable polymer carrier throughout. The combined collagen and ceramic provide osteoconductive substrates that support new bone formation. Cove Putty combined with autograft in a 1:1 ratio is intended to be placed in the posterolateral spine. The implant is provided sterile and non-pyrogenic for single use in a standard syringe.

AI/ML Overview

This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for two bone void fillers, Cove Putty and OsteoCove Putty. As such, it does not contain the information requested about acceptance criteria and study data for an AI/ML powered device.

The document states:

  • "Clinical Testing: Not applicable; determination of substantial equivalence is not based on an assessment of clinical performance data." on page 6.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, which pertains to the validation of AI/ML devices. The 510(k) summary focuses on non-clinical testing (biocompatibility, bacterial endotoxin, sterilization, and an in vivo animal study) to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing performance against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML algorithm.

§ 888.3045 Resorbable calcium salt bone void filler device.

(a)
Identification. A resorbable calcium salt bone void filler device is a resorbable implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the extremities, spine, and pelvis that are caused by trauma or surgery and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Resorbable Calcium Salt Bone Void Filler Device; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1(e) of this chapter for the availability of this guidance.
