Intended Use
NovaBone IRM - Bioactive Synthetic Bone Graft is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NovaBone IRM (Irrigation Resistant Matrix) is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities 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.
Device Description
NovaBone IRM is an osteoconductive bioactive device used for grafting osseous defects. It is a premixed composite of bioactive calcium-phospho-silicate particulate and a synthetic, absorbable binder. The bioactive particulate is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (Ca, P, Na, Si, O). The device requires no mixing or preparation prior to application. NovaBone IRM is supplied ready-to-use, to be applied directly to the intended graft site. The binder is then absorbed from the site such that only the bioactive particulate remains. Upon absorption of the binder, the remaining particulate material undergoes a timedependent kinetic modification of the surface that occurs when implanted in living tissue. Specifically, a series of surface reactions results in the formation of a calcium phosphate layer on the particles that is substantially equivalent in composition and structure to the hydroxyapatite found in bone mineral. This apatite layer provides scaffolding onto which the patient's new bone will grow, allowing complete repair of the defect. Animal testing has demonstrated that the majority of the particulate material is absorbed within six months of implantation, with >98% of the material being absorbed by twelve months. The timeframe for full absorption in humans has not been determined, but is expected to be at least twelve months.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and biological interaction of a bone graft, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
"Therapeutic device" implies the device itself is performing a treatment. This device is a bone void filler that resorbs and provides a scaffolding for new bone growth, supporting the natural healing process rather than actively treating an ailment itself. Its function is to facilitate repair, not directly provide therapy.

No
The device is described as a bone void filler that is implanted to aid in bone healing, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical bone graft material composed of particulate and a binder, intended for surgical implantation. 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 NovaBone IRM is a bone void filler to be packed into bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. This is a therapeutic and structural application within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and mechanism of action of the material when implanted in living tissue, focusing on its interaction with bone growth and absorption.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. NovaBone IRM is a medical device used for surgical repair and regeneration within the body.

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

A biocompatibility assessment for NovaBone IRM supports safety of the device for implantation in bone voids. The results of a rabbit femoral defect model further support biocompatibility and show the device performance to be substantially equivalent to NovaBone Putty (K112773) for filling of osseous defects. The composite of descriptive information, biocompatibility data, functional in vivo results in the rabbit model demonstrate that the safety and performance of NovaBone IRM is substantially equivalent NovaBone Putty (K112773), when used as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis per the defined indications for use.

510(k) Summary of Safety & Effectiveness

Device Description

NovaBone IRM is an osteoconductive bioactive device used for grafting osseous defects. It is a premixed composite of bioactive calcium-phospho-silicate particulate and a synthetic, absorbable binder. The bioactive particulate is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (Ca, P, Na, Si, O). The device requires no mixing or preparation prior to application. NovaBone IRM is supplied ready-to-use, to be applied directly to the intended graft site. The binder is then absorbed from the site such that only the bioactive particulate remains.

Upon absorption of the binder, the remaining particulate material undergoes a timedependent kinetic modification of the surface that occurs when implanted in living tissue. Specifically, a series of surface reactions results in the formation of a calcium phosphate layer on the particles that is substantially equivalent in composition and structure to the hydroxyapatite found in bone mineral. This apatite layer provides scaffolding onto which the patient's new bone will grow, allowing complete repair of the defect. Animal testing has demonstrated that the majority of the particulate material is absorbed within six months of implantation, with >98% of the material being absorbed by twelve months. The timeframe for full absorption in humans has not been determined, but is expected to be at least twelve months.

Indications for Use

NovaBone IRM - Bioactive Synthetic Bone Graft is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. NovaBone IRM (Irrigation Resistant Matrix) is indicated to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities 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.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The proposed NovaBone IRM device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate, NovaBone Putty (K112773). Both devices incorporate 45S5 bioactive glass in a synthetic binder that facilitates handling and are used as bone void fillers in the extremities and pelvis. The bioglass particles sizes for the proposed device are the same as the reference predicate, NovaBone Bioactive Strip (K141207). The packaging formats for NovaBone IRM are equivalent to that of NovaBone Putty (K112773). A biocompatibility assessment for NovaBone IRM supports safety of the device for implantation in bone voids. The results of a rabbit femoral defect model further support biocompatibility and show the device performance to be substantially equivalent to NovaBone Putty (K112773) for filling of osseous defects.

Conclusion

The composite of descriptive information, biocompatibility data, functional in vivo results in the rabbit model demonstrate that the safety and performance of NovaBone IRM is substantially equivalent NovaBone Putty (K112773), when used as a bone void filler in the extremities and pelvis per the defined indications for use.
