Intended Use
NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system, i.e., extremities and pelvis. These osseous defects are surgically created or the result of traumatic injury to the bone and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NuROs Bone Graft Substitute resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Description
NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is an osteoconductive bone void filler with interconnective pore system. It is made of synthetic beta-tricalcium phosphate (B-TCP) indicated for bone void filling. It is suitable for individuals with bone voids of gaps, caused by surgery or trauma. NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is available in granule type and block type with different volumes which are 1c.c, 2.5c.c, 5c.c, 10c.c, 20c.c, 25c.c and 30c.c. Granule types are provided in 0.2 ~ 0.5mm, 0.5 ~ 1mm, 1 ~ 2mm and 3mm of particle size. Block type is provided in 5mm x 5mm x 10mm, 5mm x 20mm, 10mm x 10mm x 10mm and 10mm x 25mm x 25mm size. NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is pure ß-TCP with all crystalline phase. The Ca/P ratio is 1.5. The structure of the material is multidirectional interconnective porosity with >70% porosity. The propose device does not impart mechanical strength to surgical site. The NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is gamma irradiated and provided for single use only.

No
The summary describes a synthetic bone graft substitute material and its physical properties and performance in animal and bench tests. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system, which resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process, indicating a therapeutic function of aiding in bone repair and regeneration.

No

Explanation: The device is a bone graft substitute intended to fill bony voids, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is a physical implant made of synthetic beta-tricalcium phosphate (B-TCP) in granule and block forms. It is a tangible material intended to fill bony voids.

Based on the provided information, the NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NuROs Bone Graft Substitute's Function: The description clearly states that NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps within the skeletal system. It is surgically placed within the body and resorbs over time, being replaced by bone.
  • No Specimen Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to test or analyze any specimens taken from the body. Its function is entirely within the body as a structural support and scaffold for bone regeneration.

Therefore, based on its intended use and description, NuROs Bone Graft Substitute falls under the category of a surgical implant or bone graft substitute, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical Testing

  • Biocompatibility: According to ISO 10993 > and to the type of medical device (long-term implantable medical device, bone/tissue contact) the following biologic effects have been investigated: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Irritation reactivity, System Toxicity (Acute), Subchronic Toxicity (Subacute Toxicity), Genotoxicity, Implantation, Pyrogenicity. Testing performed on NuROs shows biocompatible with no significant adverse observations of any kind.
  • Bench test: A series of bench tests were conducted on the proposed device, NuROs Bone Graft Substitute. Testing included: Chemical Composition, Elemental Analysis, Structure Observation, Specification of Device Porosity, TGA-residue Analysis, Ultra Trace Elements, pH Test, Pore Size Distribution. The results showed that the proposed device have the same characteristics as the predicate device.
  • Animal Test: The animal test was conducted to observe the difference in degradation rate, bone-defect interface and the state of overall healing in the animal between proposed device and predicate device. The bone grafts were implanted into porcine models and tracked for a period of time. Each tibia of the pig was drilled with two blind-ended tunnels and different bone grafts were implanted into each tunnel of each leg. CT Scans, X-rays and Histomorphometry were taken in order to observe and assess the results. The diameters of the defects were measured and recorded at each point in time to illustrate the degradation rate of the implant and healing rate of the bone defect. After the 1st and the 3rd month, the data showed that the proposed device, NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is as effective as the predicate device.

Clinical Testing
No clinical test data was used to support the decision of safety and effectiveness.

5.11 Similarity and differences

There were some differences between the proposed device and predicate device. The proposed device was designed in two type of shape (granule and block) with different particle size, predicate device was designed in six types (granule, block, cube, macroporous cube, stick and cylinder).

A series of bench tests were performed which included the chemical composition, elemental analysis, structure observation, specification of device porosity, TGA-residue analysis, ultra trace elements testing and pH testing. The results showed that same as the predicate device, the proposed device was composed of pure beta-TCP and all crystalline phase, no other impurities were presented, the ratio of Ca to P was approximately 1.5, has similar porous structures, no unsintered material or any trace elements and the ultra-trace elements concentrations were in accordance with the standard. The animal test data also showed that the proposed device, NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is as effective as the predicate device.

The proposed device has tested on safety and performance tests and the test results were complied with the test requests. Therefore, the differences of proposed device and predicate device didn't raise any problems of safety or effectiveness. The proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, operation, intended use and performance claims.

5.12 Conclusion

After analyzing bench and animal tests, device description and intended use/indications for use, it can be concluded that NuROs Bone Graft Substitute is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
