Intended Use
NovaBone Putty - Bioactive Synthetic Bone Graft 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, 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. NovaBone Putty is not indicated for use in load-bearing applications. It does not possess sufficient mechanical strength to support load-bearing defects prior to hard tissue ingrowth. It should not be used for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. 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 must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.
Device Description
NovaBone Putty is an osteoconductive, bioactive, bone void filler device. It is composed of a calcium-phosphorus-sodium-silicate (Bioglass) particulate mixed with a synthetic binder that acts as a temporary binding agent for the particulate. The particulate and binder are provided premixed as a pliable cohesive material. The mixed device is supplied sterile, packaged in a PET-G tray or in a disposable plastic syringe. On implantation, the binder is absorbed to permit tissue infiltration between the Bioglass particles. The particles then are slowly absorbed and replaced by new bone tissue during the healing process.

No
The device description and intended use focus on the material composition and physical properties of a bone graft putty. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as a "bone void filler" that "resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process," indicating its therapeutic purpose in skeletal repair.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. Its intended use is to fill bony voids or gaps, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical material (putty) composed of particulate and a binder, supplied in a tray or syringe. It is a physical bone graft 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 devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NovaBone Putty's Function: NovaBone Putty is a bone graft substitute that is implanted directly into the body to fill bony voids and promote bone healing. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure involving direct implantation into the skeletal system.

Therefore, NovaBone Putty falls under the category of a surgical implant or bone graft substitute, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

hard tissue ingrowth. It should not be used for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. 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 must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.

Technological Characteristics 6.

The technological characteristics of the NovaBone Putty device are identical to the NovaBone Putty device cleared per K060728 and K080009. The device and predicate are designed as osteoconductive space-filling devices to be gently packed into defect sites and used as non-structural scaffolds for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. The device indications are the same as for the predicate. The device is intended to be used alone, or in combination with autogenous bone.

The primary component of NovaBone Putty is identical to the bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate found in the NovaBone predicate. This synthetic material is both biocompatible and osteoconductive. The NovaBone Putty includes a synthetic binder as an inert carrier for ease of handling and delivery. forming a premixed cohesive material. The binder is biocompatible and is absorbed after implantation, opening space between the bioactive glass particles for cell infiltration and bone formation. The bioactive glass particulate remains for a longer post-implantation period, acting as a scaffold for bone ingrowth. This particulate is absorbed and replaced by new bone tissue. Animal testing has demonstrated that the majority of the material is absorbed within six months of implantation, with >98% of the material being absorbed by 12 months. The timeframe for full absorption in humans has not been determined, but is expected to be at least 12 months.

7. Warnings and Precautions

NovaBone Putty is not indicated for use in load-bearing applications. It should not be used for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. NovaBone Putty is intended for use by clinicians familiar with bone grafting and internal/external fixation techniques. 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 must not be used to gain screw purchase or to stabilize screw placement.

NovaBone Putty is intended for manual application and is not intended for injection through a constrained opening or under high pressures. High-pressure injection of NovaBone Putty should not be conducted as it could result in device over-pressurization, which may lead to device extrusion beyond the intended application site or to embolization of fat or the device into the bloodstream.

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

The NovaBone Putty device modification subject to this submission is to include a filled-syringe package format to augment the current tray-in-pouch format. This device modification does not result in a change in technological characteristics of the device. NovaBone Putty continues to be safe and effective as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler for osseous defects.
