Testing of donor blood and tissue samples began at the site of recovery and continued
into processing. Donor blood samples taken at the time of recovery were tested by
laboratories certified to perform such testing on human specimens under the Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) (42 U.S.C. 263a and 42 CFR
Part 493), using FDA licensed tests including, but not limited to:
HBsAg Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
HBc-IgM/IgG Hepatitis B Total Core Antibody
HCV Hepatitis C Antibody
HIV 1/2-Ab Antibody to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Types 1 and 2
RPR/STS or Equivalent Syphilis Detection
In addition to the tests mentioned, donors recovered prior to March 9, 2005, were
tested for HIV-1 by p24 antigen testing or DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or
Transcription Mediated Amplification (TMA) Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAT).
Donors recovered after March 9, 2005, were tested using Human Immunodeficiency
Virus Type 1/Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (HIV1 NAT) and Hepatitis C Virus/
Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (HCV NAT). Donors may or may not be tested for
HTLV I/II (Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Types I and II).
The results of all the relevant communicable disease tests referenced above were
found to be negative.
The communicable disease test results, together with the informed consent, medical
history interview, physical assessment, available medical records (to include previous
medical history, laboratory test results, autopsy and coroner reports, if performed),
and information obtained from any source or records which may pertain to donor
eligibility, have been evaluated, and are sufficient to indicate that donor eligibility
criteria, current at the time of recovery, have been met. The donor eligibility criteria
used to screen this donor are in compliance with the FDA regulations published in 21
CFR Parts 1270 and/or Part 1271, as applicable.
Donor eligibility was determined by one of the following tissue banks:
American Tissue Services Foundation,
Edmond, OK 73013
Community Tissue Services,
Dayton, OH 45402
LifeNet Health,
Virginia Beach, VA 23453

of all required communicable disease tests, a listing of the documents reviewed as

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON MINEROSS® Cortical & Cancellous Chips
Description
This allograft was prepared from tissue recovered from a cadaveric donor using aseptic
surgical techniques and microbiologically tested during recovery. This allograft was
further processed and packaged under aseptic conditions. This allograft was prepared
from tissues that may have been cleaned using 70% alcohol, washed with purified
water, and sonicated. This allograft may also have been processed with an additional
surfactant. Cleaning, cutting, sizing, shaping, container sterilization, and filling were
performed using aseptic techniques in a controlled environment.
Use
This allograft can be used in a variety of dental applications when appropriate. It can
be used in bone grafting procedures in combination with autologous bone or other
forms of allograft bone, or used by itself as an individual bone allograft.
This package is intended for single patient use only. Do not use the contents of this
package for multiple patients.

the allograft met all processing requirements and allograft specifications.
This tissue has been released for transplantation.
For European Economic Area audience only - These tissue tracking records shall be
maintained for 30 years after clinical use. In case product traceability to recipient is at
risk, the customer shall secure the transfer of the records to another entity (preferably
a Tissue Establishment or Organ Bank) in order to secure continued traceability.
BioHorizons shall be informed of such a transfer of records.
steriLity
Allograft products have been aseptically processed and tested for sterility, as indicated
by the package label and as explained in the proceeding sections. Do not subject this
allograft to additional disinfection or sterilization procedures.
Tissue labeled as “Aseptically Processed, Passes USP Sterility Tests” or “Sterile” was
aseptically processed and then tested for sterility according to the procedures in the
current U.S. Pharmacopeia.
treatment with Low-Dose gamma irraDiation
Medtronic, Inc. may use low dose gamma irradiation as an adjunct to aseptic
processing to reduce bioburden as described in the proceeding sections.
Labels containing “Treated with Gamma Irradiation,” indicate that low dose (1.0 - 1.8
megarads) gamma irradiation was used as a means of reducing the tissue bioburden
on the donor.
tissUe tracking
Federal (USA) regulations under 21 CFR 1271 establish requirements for tracking of
human tissue products. In accordance with these regulations, the package label of
each tissue unit produced by Medtronic, Inc. bears a lot or serial number that serves
as a distinct identification code that is recorded in Medtronic’s and BioHorizons
distribution records for purposes of tracking the tissue to the consignee or user/
tissue transplant facility. This lot or serial number should be recorded in the user/
tissue transplant facility’s records and in the tissue recipient’s medical record, along
with the following information:

formation, as are other factors such as: blood supply, source of marrow elements,
loading, stability, and absence of infection at the graft site.
packaging anD LabeLing
This allograft was packaged in single patient use containers and the serial/lot number
(including donor ID number), expiration date, product code, size, and additional
information are listed on the package label.
caUtion
This allograft may contain trace amounts of antibiotics (gentamicin), antiseptic
(povidone-iodine), surfactant, and other processing solutions. Caution should be
exercised if the patient is allergic to these antibiotics or chemicals.
precaUtions
Extensive donor blood serum testing, medical and social history screening procedures,
and tissue microbiological testing have been used in the qualification of all tissue
donors. Despite the extensive tissue donor selection and qualification processes
used in providing this tissue allograft (see proceeding sections), transmission of a
communicable disease through the use of this tissue allograft is still possible. Bacterial
infection at the graft site may also occur. Any adverse outcomes potentially attributable
to this graft must be reported promptly to BioHorizons, Inc. or Medtronic, Inc.
contrainDications
The presence of infection at the transplantation site is a contraindication for the use
of this allograft.
Donor screening anD testing
Prior to donation, the donor’s blood, tissues, and medical/social history were screened
for medical conditions or disease processes that would contraindicate the donation
of tissues in accordance with current FDA policies and standards established by the
American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). The donor’s medical/social history
was screened for HIV, Hepatitis, and CJD/vCJD high risk factors in accordance with
current United States Public Health Services Recommendations and FDA Federal
Regulations and Guidance Documents.
