## Device Story

NovaSpine Cement Restrictor (NSCR) is an implanted, non-load bearing device designed to contain bone cement (e.g., PMMA) within the diaphysical canal of the femur or tibia during orthopedic surgery. Device features a straight or tapered rectangular hollow box construction with fenestrations on all sides and serrations on two opposite sides. Available in multiple sizes to accommodate patient anatomy. Surgeon selects appropriate size based on physical characteristics of the patient. Device functions as a physical barrier to prevent cement migration beyond the intended site. Used in clinical orthopedic settings by surgeons.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Device is designated as a non-load bearing Class II device under 21 CFR 878.3300, for which mechanical testing is not required.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: 6-4 Titanium alloy per ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3. Form factor: Straight or tapered rectangular hollow box with fenestrations and serrations. Non-load bearing. Standalone implant.

## Regulatory Identification

Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

Dear Mr. Khosrowshahi:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA) application. You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such usc could cause harm.

Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's package insert and also as a Warning on the product label:

WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANY SPINAL INDICATIONS.

THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS DEVICE WHEN IMPLANTED IN THE SPINE HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED.

{3}------------------------------------------------

#### Page 2 - Mr. Hamid Khosrowshahi

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrls/industry/support/index.html.
