Intended 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.
Device Description
NovaBone is a one-component resorbable bone void filler composed of a synthetic calcium phospho-silicate (Bioglass) particulate designed specifically for its absorbability and osteoconductive nature. NovaBone is progressively resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the healing process. The device is designed as an osteoconductive space-filling particulate device to be gently packed into defect sites and used as a non-structural scaffold for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. The device acts as a particulate, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive material. The NovaBone device is a single-phase bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a synthetic bone graft substitute material and its intended use, with no mention of AI or ML technology in its function, design, or performance evaluation.

Yes
The device is described as a resorbable bone graft substitute that provides a bone void filler and is replaced with bone during the healing process, clearly indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "resorbable bone graft substitute" and a "bone void filler" which functions to promote bone healing. It does not perform any diagnostic functions or provide information about a patient's medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states that NovaBone is a physical material (particulate) composed of synthetic calcium phospho-silicate (Bioglass) and is intended to be packed into bony voids. This is a physical medical device, 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 is a bone graft substitute used to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. This is a therapeutic and structural application within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a synthetic material (Bioglass) designed to be implanted and resorb, acting as a scaffold for bone regeneration. This is a medical device used for treatment.
  • 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 samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. NovaBone is used inside the body to facilitate bone healing.

4. Device Description

NovaBone is a one-component resorbable bone void filler composed of a synthetic calcium phospho-silicate (Bioglass) particulate designed specifically for its absorbability and osteoconductive nature. NovaBone is progressively resorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the healing process.

ട. Intended Use

NovaBone 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.

6. Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of NovaBone device have not changed. The device is designed as an osteoconductive space-filling particulate device to be

1

gently packed into defect sites and used as a non-structural scaffold for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. The device acts as a particulate, synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive material.

The NovaBone device is a single-phase bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate device. No changes to the device or its indications have been made with this submission. The purpose of this premarket notification is to expand the product claims to cover the claim of the device being osteostimulative. After implantation, surface reactions result in the absorption of the device material and concurrent new bone tissue formation. These surface reactions result in an osteostimulative affect, defined as the stimulation of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation during in vitro osteoblast cell culture studies as evidenced by increased DNA content and elevated osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels.

7. Warnings and Precautions

NovaBone does not possess sufficient mechanical strength to support load-bearing 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 is intended for use by clinicians familiar with bone grafting and internal/external fixation techniques. NovaBone must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.

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.

9. Conclusion

NovaBone functions as a bone void filler for non-structural osseous defects. In vivo study data were presented supporting a superior rate of osteconduction and bone formation at early post-implantation periods compared to hydroxyapatite devices. In vitro cell culture data were presented to demonstrate and define the osteostimulative nature of the NovaBone device.
