Intended Use
NovoGro Putty is intended for use as a bone void filler for gaps and voids that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NovoGro Putty is intended to be hydrated with sterile water and gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system, i.e., extremities and pelvis. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. NovoGro Putty provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
Device Description
NovoGro Putty is provided to the end-user as two components (dry powder and aqueous solution) that must be mixed intra-operatively prior to implantation using the supplied mixing system to form a moldable cohesive putty-like graft. The dry powder component of NovoGro Putty contains spherical beads that are composed primarily of a co-precipitate of dicalcium phosphate anhydrite Imonetite. CaHPO4], magnesium phosphate trihydrate [newberyite, Mg(PO2OH)+3(H2O)] and sodium hydrogen phosphate [NaH2PO4]. Small amounts of silica (SiO2) and magnesium oxide (MgO) are combined with this co-precipitate during manufacturing. These spherical beads are mixed heterogeneously with dry sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) powder to enhance the handling properties of the final mixed graft. The aqueous component of NovoGro is ultrapure reverse osmosis deionized water (DI H2O). NovoGro Putty is provided sterile for single use in volumes ranging from 1 cc to 20 cc. NovoGro Putty is provided in a kit with a mixing system, a vial of ultrapure water for mixing, and a graduated syringe to measure the correct volume of the supplied ultrapure water to add to the dry component.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and physical properties of a bone void filler. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies describe animal testing and evaluation of physical characteristics, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.
The device is intended to resorb and be replaced by bone during the healing process, which directly addresses a condition (bone voids/gaps) to restore function.

No

NovoGro Putty is described as a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process, indicating its use in treatment rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states that NovoGro Putty is a physical material (dry powder and aqueous solution) that is mixed and implanted as a bone void filler. It is 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 NovoGro Putty is a "bone void filler" intended for direct implantation into the skeletal system to fill gaps and voids. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition of the putty and how it is mixed for implantation. This aligns with a medical device intended for direct application to tissue.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described involve animal testing to evaluate the device's ability to fill bone voids and be replaced by bone during healing. This is a functional assessment of a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

In Vitro Diagnostic devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. NovoGro Putty does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Animal testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence included determination of radiographic, histologic and histomorphometric characteristics of the subject device and the predicate device in a rabbit distal femoral condyle critical-sized defect model. The study time points included baseline (time 0), 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. The baseline (time 0) animals provided information on the initial amount of material implanted to fill the defects. Empty (unfilled) defects (negative control) were evaluated at 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Evaluation endpoints included high-resolution radiography, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging, undecalcified histologic evaluation, and histomorphometric analysis. Histology sections also were graded according to AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-6 (Annex E).

The results of the study demonstrated that the performance of the subject device was equivalent to that of the predicate Actifuse ABX device.

6

The subject device and the predicate device have the same intended use, the same product classification and product code (MQV), and have similar indications for use. The subject device and predicate device are intended for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure (extremities and pelvis); the predicate device has an additional indication for use in the posterolateral spine. Although the subject device and the predicate have slightly different Indications for Use language, this difference in language does not change the intended use as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis.

The subject device and the predicate device both incorporate calcium phosphate materials, Si, and a polymeric scaffold or binder. NovoGro Putty contains approximately 14% Si by weight and the predicate Actifuse ABX contains approximately 0.8% Si by weight. The subject device and the predicate device have the same range of granule size (1 mm - 2 mm), and have similar porosities. The subject device and the predicate device are provided sterile for single use in similar ranges of graft volumes.

The radiographic, histologic and histomorphometric performance of the subject device was compared to that of the predicate device in a rabbit distal femoral condyle critical-sized defect model. The results of the study demonstrated that the performance of the subject device was equivalent to that of the predicate Actifuse ABX device.

CONCLUSION

The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials and are sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device listed above.
