510(k) Predicate Finder
Find potential predicate devices for your 510(k) submission. Enter a K-number to find all clearances with the same product code, a three-letter product code to browse clearances directly, or search by device name.
Bone Grafting Material, Synthetic
Dental
The Synthetic Bone Grafting Material (product code LYC) is a synthetically derived implantable dental device, such as hydroxylapatite, intended to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal and bony defects of the upper or lower jaw, supporting bone regeneration and dental implant placement. Regulated under 21 CFR 872.3930 and classified as a Class 2 device, it requires a 510(k) premarket notification and is flagged as an implant. The device falls under the Dental medical specialty and is reviewed under the Dental (DE) panel. It is not life-sustaining.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
