PACKAGE INSERT AND REHYDRATION INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USE
THIS ALLOGRAFT IS DERIVED FROM HUMAN TISSUE WHICH WAS GENEROUSLY DONATED SO THAT OTHERS MAY
BENEFIT.
THIS ALLOGRAFT IS INTENDED FOR SINGLE PATIENT, SINGLE USE ONLY.
CAUTION: RESTRICTED TO USE BY A PHYSICIAN OR DENTIST.
NO ADDITIONAL STERILIZATION STEP IS TO BE PERFORMED BY THE USER.
DESCRIPTION
This allograft was prepared from human bone tissue recovered in the USA 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, single use only. Do not use the contents of this package for multiple patients.
Preparation of the bone graft bed is important for allograft incorporation and bone 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.
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 regulations and standards
established by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). The donor’s medical/social history was also screened for
HIV, Hepatitis, and CJD/vCJD high risk factors in accordance with current United States Public Health Services
recommendations and FDA regulations and guidance documents.
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 for communicable disease by a laboratory registered with the FDA to perform donor
testing and 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 approved, licensed, or cleared tests including:
HBsAgHepatitis B Surface Antigen
HBc-IgM/IgGHepatitis B Total Core Antibody
HCVHepatitis C Antibody
HIV 1/2-AbAntibody to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Types 1 and 2
HTLV I/IIHuman T-lymphotrophic virus types I and II
RPR/STS or EquivalentSyphilis Detection
HIV 1 NATHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleic acid amplification testing
HCV NATHepatitis C virus nucleic acid amplification testing
The results of all the relevant communicable disease tests referenced above were found to be negative or non-reactive.
In addition to the tests listed above, other tests may have been performed including tests for HBV NAT (Hepatitis B virus nucleic
acid amplification testing) and WNV NAT (West Nile Virus nucleic acid amplification testing). Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing
(NAT) for HBV was performed for donors recovered after December 21, 2015. If HBV NAT and WNV NAT tests were
performed, the results of these tests were negative or non-reactive, and the results of any other tests performed were negative
or otherwise acceptable for eligibility of donors of musculoskeletal tissues.
The communicable disease test results, together with the informed consent, medical/social 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.
Based on this evaluation, the donor was determined to meet donor eligibility criteria current at the time of recovery. The donor
eligibility criteria used to screen this donor are in compliance with FDA regulations published in 21 CFR Part 1271 “Human
Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products” and/or European Commission Directive 2006/17/EC including
amendments and European national transpositions when additional serological testing is required for deceased donors, as
applicable.
Donor eligibility was determined by one of the following tissue banks:
American Tissue Services Foundation
Surprise, AZ 85378
Community Tissue Services
Dayton, OH 45402
LifeNet Health
Virginia Beach, VA 23453
RTI Surgical, Inc.
Alachua, FL 32615
The names and addresses of the testing laboratories, the listing and interpretation of all required communicable disease tests, a
listing of the documents reviewed as part of the relevant medical records, and the name of the person or establishment
determining the eligibility of this human tissue are on file at Medtronic, Eatontown, NJ and are available upon request.
The final tissue allograft product was released by Medtronic based on the initial donor eligibility determination and on a postprocessing review and determination that the product met all processing requirements and allograft specifications.
This tissue has been released for transplantation.
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 may use low dose gamma irradiation as an adjunct to aseptic processing to reduce bioburden as described in the
following 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 bears a lot or serial number that serves as a
distinct identification code recorded in Medtronic 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:
1. Description of Tissue
2. Lot Number (Donor ID)
3. Product Code
4. Expiration Date
5. Quantity Implanted
If for any reason the graft is opened and not used, it should be disposed of properly. Document the reason for the graft not
being used.
