K040501 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DBX DEMINERALIZED BONE MATRIX PUTTY, PASTE AND MIX. Classified as Bone Grafting Material, Human Source (product code NUN), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (Edison, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 29, 2005 after a review of 428 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Dental FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 872.3930 - the FDA dental device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Dental submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code NUN Bone Grafting Material, Human Source
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 872.3930
Definition Intended To Be Packed Into Bony Voids Or Gaps To Fill And/or Augment Dental Intraosseous, Oral And Cranio-/maxillofacial Defects. These Defects May Be Surgically Creatd Osseous Defects Or Osseous Defects Created From Traumatic Injry To The Bone, Inlcuding Periodenta/infrabony Defects; Alveolar Ridge Augmentation (sinusotomy, Osteotomy, Cystectomy); Dental Extraction Sites (ridge Maintenance, Implant Preparation/placement); Sinus Lifts; Cystic Defects; Craniofacial Augmentation.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Dental devices follow this clearance model.
