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, posterolateral 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; therefore, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization.

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 and is packaged in single-use containers in multiple formats. 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.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) submission (K110368) is for a modification to an existing device, NovaBone Putty, specifically a change in packaging. Therefore, there are no acceptance criteria or a study detailed in the provided text that "proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in the way a clinical trial might for a new device's performance.

Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, asserting that the change in packaging does not alter the device's fundamental characteristics or performance.

Here's an analysis based on your requested information, acknowledging the nature of this particular 510(k):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Not applicable in the typical sense for a device performance study. For a packaging modification, the "acceptance criteria" revolve around maintaining the safety, effectiveness, and technological characteristics of the original device. The "reported performance" is that the device itself remains unchanged and functions as intended, with the new packaging being stable and appropriate.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied for Packaging Modification)Reported Device Performance (as stated in submission)
Device's technological characteristics remain identical previously cleared predicate devices (K060728, K080009, K082672, K101860)."The technological characteristics of the NovaBone Putty device of the current submission are identical to the NovaBone Putty device cleared per K060728, K080009, K082672, and K101860." The device itself is unchanged.
The device's intended use remains the same."The device indications are the same as for the predicate."
Packaging is suitable and does not compromise the device's sterility, integrity, or function."Information as to packaging validation is provided." (Details not explicitly in provided text, but implied to be sufficient for FDA clearance).
The device remains safe and effective as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler."NovaBone Putty continues to be safe and effective as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler for osseous defects."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

Not applicable. This submission is about a packaging change for an already cleared device. There is no "test set" in the context of evaluating a medical AI algorithm or a new therapeutic device's clinical performance. The "data provenance" would relate to the validation of the new packaging, which isn't detailed in this document but would typically involve material compatibility testing, sterility testing, and shelf-life studies.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

Not applicable. No ground truth establishment for a patient-based test set is relevant for a packaging modification.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. There is no test set or adjudication process for clinical outcomes described.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a bone void filler, not an AI diagnostic or assistive tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI device.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

Not applicable in the context of clinical performance ground truth. For a packaging modification, the "ground truth" would be the verified physical and chemical properties of the device and packaging, and their interaction, as determined by laboratory testing and regulatory compliance.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no training set for an AI algorithm or a new clinical device being developed from scratch.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable.

Device Description 4.

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 and is packaged in single-use containers in multiple formats. 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.

5. Intended Use

NovaBone Putty 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, posterolateral 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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

NovaBone Putty is not indicated for use in load-bearing applications; therefore, standard internal or external stabilization techniques must be followed to obtain rigid stabilization.

6. Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The technological characteristics of the NovaBone Putty device of the current submission are identical to the NovaBone Putty device cleared per K060728, K080009, K082672, and K101860. The device is designed as an osteoconductive space-filling device to be gently packed into defect sites and used as nonstructural scaffolds for the body's natural healing and bone regeneration process. The device indications are the same as for the predicate.

The primary component of NovaBone Putty is bioactive glass (45S5 Bioglass) particulate. 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.

The NovaBone Putty device of this submission has been modified from that of the predicate solely in terms of the device packaging; the device itself is unchanged. The predicate devices are packaged in PET-G clamshell trays and polypropylene syringes. The purpose of this submission is to expand the package format options to include a polypropylene jar for larger volume device delivery. The NovaBone Putty device action as a synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible and osteoconductive scaffold into which new bone will grow is unchanged. Information as to packaging validation is provided.

7. Conclusion

The device modification subject to this submission is to include a new package format. This new sealed jar package format has been added to provide an additional bulk product package option. This device modification does not result in a change in technological characteristics of the NovaBone Putty device. NovaBone Putty continues to be safe and effective as a non-structural osteoconductive bone void filler for osseous defects.
