The summary describes a synthetic bone graft substitute material and its performance in animal studies. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any other components typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.
Yes.
The device is a bone graft substitute that provides a bone void filler intended for use in the skeletal system during the healing process, clearly indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device is a bone graft substitute used to fill bony voids or gaps and is replaced by bone during the healing process, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states that NovaBone is a "synthetic resorbable osteoconductive bone graft substitute particulate entirely composed of a calcium phospho-silicate material." This describes a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- NovaBone's Function: NovaBone is a bone graft substitute. Its intended use is to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system and provide a scaffold for bone regeneration. It is implanted directly into the body.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description of NovaBone and its intended use does not involve any form of testing on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for a medical condition.
Therefore, NovaBone is a therapeutic device used for bone repair, not a diagnostic device used for testing samples.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
NovaBone Resorbable Bone graft substitute is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NovaBone is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

Summary of Performance Studies
The performance of NovaBone has been compared to ProOsteon 500R and to Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets in side-by-side comparison studies. Three such studies were conducted:
A. A 6mm diameter defect in the distal femur of rabbits to compare NovaBone and ProOsteon 500R in the same animal. At three months, both materials showed similar residual graft material area, with a substantial reduction in NovaBone graft particulate area from initial post-implantation values. The graft site biomechanical properties were not statistically different between graft materials while new bone formation was greater for NovaBone than for the ProOsteon 500R.
B. Comparisons between NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets were conducted in a goat femoral model. A 10mm diameter defect was created in the distal femur and evaluated at six weeks and six months. The Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets was mostly absorbed by six weeks, while some residual NovaBone was observed out to six months. The graft site biomechanical properties were similar between graft materials, with new bone formation greater for NovaBone than for the Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets.
C. Comparisons between NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets were also conducted in an iliac crest model in sheep. Unicortical defects were made and a channel was reamed in the cancellous space of the superior iliac crest. Both NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets showed better bone regeneration than empty control sites at six weeks and six months. Histologically, the NovaBone defects had greater amounts of new bone formation at six weeks.

Technological Characteristics 6.
The technological characteristics of NovaBone, ProOsteon 500R, and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are similar, although not identical. NovaBone, ProOsteon 500R, and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are designed to be osteoconductive space-filling particulates to be gently packed into defect sites and to be used as a non-structural scaffold for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. To meet this design. NovaBone, ProOsteon 500R, and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are similar in nature; all three devices are particulate, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive materials.
The main technological characteristic difference between NovaBone , ProOsteon 500R, and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets is their composition, each being composed of a different synthetic material. NovaBone is composed of Bioglass® (see description), ProOsteon 500R is composed of calcium carbonate with a thin calcium phosphate coating, and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets is composed of calcium sulfate with stearic acid as a tableting aid. These different materials have different absorption rates. The Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are absorbed between four and eight weeks, depending on the graft site, size and material used. NovaBone and ProOsteon 500R have a similar, slower absorption rate, but both are still substantially absorbed within the six-month timeframe normally associated with bone remodeling. For all three devices, bone forms throughout the graft site with the material being absorbed and replaced by new bone tissue.
The performance of NovaBone has been compared to ProOsteon 500R and to Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets in side-by-side comparison studies. Three such studies were conducted:
- A. A 6mm diameter defect in the distal femur of rabbits to compare NovaBone and ProOsteon 500R in the same animal. At three months, both materials showed similar residual graft material area, with a substantial reduction in NovaBone graft particulate area from initial post-implantation values. The graft site biomechanical properties were not statistically different between graft materials while new bone formation was greater for NovaBone than for the ProOsteon 500R.
- B. Comparisons between NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets were conducted in a goat femoral model. A 10mm diameter defect was created in the distal femur and evaluated at six weeks and six months. The Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets was mostly absorbed by six weeks, while some residual NovaBone was observed out to six months. The graft site biomechanical properties were similar between graft materials, with new bone formation greater for NovaBone than for the Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets.

- C. Comparisons between NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets were also conducted in an iliac crest model in sheep. Unicortical defects were made and a channel was reamed in the cancellous space of the superior iliac crest. Both NovaBone and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets showed better bone regeneration than empty control sites at six weeks and six months. Histologically, the NovaBone defects had greater amounts of new bone formation at six weeks.
- Warnings and Precautions 7.
NovaBone does not possess sufficient mechanical strength to support load bearing defects prior to soft and hard tissue ingrowth. In cases of fracture fixation, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization in all planes.
NovaBone is intended for use by surgeons familiar with bone grafting and internal/external fixation techniques. NovaBone must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.
-
- Complications
Possible complications are the same as to be expected of autogenous bone grafting procedures. These may include: superficial wound infection, deep wound infection, deep wound infection with osteomyelitis, delayed union, loss of reduction, failure of fusion, loss of bone graft, graft protrusion and / or dislodgement, and general complications that may arise from anesthesia and / or surgery.
- Complications
-
- Conclusion
NovaBone is claimed to be substantially equivalent to ProOsteon 500R and Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler for osseous defects. Side-by-side comparative in vivo performance data was presented, with no evidence of local or systemic adverse effects related to the device observed. Additional supporting in vitro and clinical data were supplied.
