Intended Use
Orthocon Orthostat™ Hemostatic Bone Putty is indicated for use in the control of bleeding from cut or damaged bone by acting as a mechanical barrier or tamponade. The material may be used during surgical procedures and in treating traumatic injuries.
Device Description
Orthocon Orthostat™ Hemostatic Bone Putty is a sterile, soft, moldable, biocompatible, absorbable material of putty-like consistency intended for use in the management of bleeding from the cut surface of bone. The material is a mixture of calcium stearate (a wax-like tamponade), Vitamin E Acetate (for handling properties) and alkylene oxide copolymer (a dispersing agent). The material is virtually odorless, off-white in color and can be spread easily with minimal adhesion to surgical gloves. The bone putty requires no kneading prior to application and does not soften appreciably at body temperature. When applied manually to surgically incised or traumatically broken bone, Orthostat™ Hemostatic Bone Putty achieves local control of bleeding by acting as a mechanical barrier (tamponade). The bone putty will be dispersed and absorbed within a period of 60 days.

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and mechanical action of the bone putty, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in the control of bleeding from cut or damaged bone, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is a hemostatic bone putty used to control bleeding, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, soft, moldable, biocompatible, absorbable material of putty-like consistency" composed of physical substances like calcium stearate, Vitamin E Acetate, and alkylene oxide copolymer. This describes a physical medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to control bleeding from bone by acting as a mechanical barrier. This is a direct therapeutic action on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical material applied to the bone surface. It doesn't involve analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, measure a substance, or provide information about a patient's health status based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical and therapeutic.

Intended Use (Indications)

Orthocon Orthostat™ Hemostatic Bone Putty is indicated for use in the control of bleeding from cut or damaged bone by acting as a mechanical barrier or tamponade. The material may be used during surgical procedures and in treating traumatic injuries.

Substantial Equivalence

In this Special 510(k) submission the device is its own predicate. Orthostat™ Hemostatic Bone Putty is unchanged in its formulation from its predicate 510(k) clearance. The Indications for Use also remain unchaged. This Special 510(k) is to add the following contraindications to the labeling of the device.

Do not use Orthostat in joints or in contact with synovial membrane or in procedures where the material will be in direct intra-articular contact with the joint (e.g. bunionectomy).

Do not use Orthostat as a bone void filler or graft extender.

This Special 510(k) Notice contains revised Risk Management documents, summaries of biocompatibility testing and reports from investigations of the use of the device. Conformance to applicable Special Controls has been verified.

The data presented demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the modified device to the original device.

  1. The Role of the State in the Economy The role of the state in the economy is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been debated for centuries. There are many different perspectives on what the state's role should be, ranging from laissez-faire capitalism, where the state plays a minimal role, to socialism, where the state controls most of the economy. In general, the state plays a role in the economy by providing public goods and services, regulating economic activity, and redistributing income. Public goods and services are those that are non-excludable and non-rivalrous, meaning that they are available to everyone and that one person's use of them does not diminish their availability to others. Examples of public goods and services include national defense, law enforcement, and infrastructure. The state also regulates economic activity to protect consumers, workers, and the environment. Regulations can take many forms, such as setting minimum wages, banning certain products, and requiring businesses to meet certain standards. Finally, the state redistributes income through taxes and transfer payments. Taxes are used to fund public goods and services, while transfer payments are used to provide income support to low-income individuals and families. The appropriate role of the state in the economy is a matter of ongoing debate. There are many different perspectives on what the state's role should be, and there is no easy answer. However, it is clear that the state plays a significant role in the economy, and that its actions can have a major impact on people's lives.
