Intended Use
NovaBone Putty - Resorbable Bone Void Filler is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NovaBone Putty is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities 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.
Device Description
NovaBone Putty is a two-component resorbable bone void filler composed of a synthetic bioactive glass particulate mixed with a binder. The major component is melt-derived calcium-phosphorus-sodium-silicate (Bioglass) particulate a designed specifically for its absorbability and osteoconductive nature. The second component is gelatin powder, selected for its biocompatibility and physical gelation properties to act as a temporary binding agent for the particulate. The gelatin is rapidly absorbed from the graft site to permit tissue infiltration between the Bioglass particles and replacement of the particles by host bone during the healing process.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a bone void filler composed of synthetic materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The device's function is purely material-based for bone regeneration.

No.
The device is a resorbable bone void filler that helps in the healing process of bone defects, not a therapeutic device in the sense of delivering therapy or treating a disease.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is a bone void filler for surgical repair, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a two-component resorbable bone void filler composed of synthetic bioactive glass particulate and a binder (gelatin powder), which are physical materials, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that NovaBone Putty is a "bone void filler" for bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. This is a therapeutic and structural application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the putty (bioactive glass and gelatin) and its function as a resorbable material that is replaced by bone. This aligns with a medical device used for treatment or repair, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

Therefore, NovaBone Putty is a medical device, specifically a bone graft substitute, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description 4.

NovaBone Putty is a two-component resorbable bone void filler composed of a synthetic bioactive glass particulate mixed with a binder. The major component is melt-derived calcium-phosphorus-sodium-silicate (Bioglass) particulate a designed specifically for its absorbability and osteoconductive nature. The second component is gelatin powder, selected for its biocompatibility and physical gelation properties to act as a temporary binding agent for the particulate.

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.

6. Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of NovaBone Putty and the predicate devices NovaBone and NovaBone-AR are similar. All are designed as osteoconductive space-filling particulate devices to be gently packed into defect sites and used as non-structural scaffolds for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. To meet this design, the three devices are similar in nature, all being particulate, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive materials,

The NovaBone predicate is a single-phase bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate device, while the NovaBone-AR is a two-component bioactive glass device, the major phase being the same Bioglass component as in the NovaBone device. The primary component of NovaBone Putty is this same particulate bioactive glass. The main technological difference between NovaBone Putty and the predicate devices is that while the predicates contain only particulate bioactive glass components, the NovaBone Putty device contains a second component that acts as a temporary binding agent between the particles when wetted with water. When wetted, the gelatin component hydrates and fills the space between the particles, resulting in a soft malleable putty to aid product handling and placement. The gelatin binder then is rapidly removed from the implantation site via normal physiologic processes.

For all three devices, the materials are substantially absorbed within the six-month timeframe normally associated with bone remodeling, the devices being replaced by new bone tissue. The gelatin binder of the NovaBone Putty is more soluble than the Bioglass particulate, being rapidly removed from the site to permit space for cell infiltration and bone formation.

7. Warnings and Precautions

NovaBone Putty does not possess sufficient mechanical strength to support loadbearing defects prior to hard tissue ingrowth. In cases of fracture fixation or where load support is required, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization in all planes.

NovaBone Putty is intended for use by clinician familiar with bone grafting and internal/external fixation techniques. NovaBone Putty must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.

NovaBone Putty contains gelatin. This device should not be used by individuals having known allergies to gelatin products.

8. 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.

The potential for allergic reaction to the gelatin component exists.

9. Conclusion

NovaBone Putty is claimed to be substantially equivalent to the NovaBone and NovaBone-AR predicates as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler for osseous defects. In vivo performance data were presented. Additional supporting in vitro data were supplied.
