IsoTis Regulatory Review of Accell Products Back on Track

Irvine, California (ots/PRNewswire)

- FDA Reinitiates 510(k) Review
IsoTis, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISOT), the orthobiologics company, today
announced that it recently received a positive response from the
Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and the Center
for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), confirming that IsoTis' Accell family of
demineralized bone matrix products will be regulated under the device
provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Following receipt of the response letter, the company engaged in
discussions with the Office of Device Evaluation (ODE) of CDRH. Based
on these discussions, the company submitted a 510(k) supplement
clarifying the claims and labeling for its Accell products today. The
company also addressed ODE's additional questions regarding the
Accell process. These discussions resulted in a confirmation that the
agency will restart the review of the pending 510(k) notice for the
Accell family of products submitted in July 2006, which had been put
on hold in February 2007. While there can be no assurance that CDRH
will not request additional information after review of the
supplement, which may cause further delays, based on it's discussions
with FDA, IsoTis hopes to receive a timely 510 (k) clearance.
Pieter Wolters, President and CEO of IsoTis said, "We are very
pleased with the outcome of our discussions with the FDA. The
confirmation from the FDA that the Accell products are regulated as
devices ends a period of uncertainty about which Center within FDA
has jurisdiction. We look forward to continue to work closely with
the FDA toward obtaining a timely 510(k) clearance of our Accell
family of products."
