*FDA statement on Orthobiologics – 6/3/2021*
The FDA is starting to get even more aggressive in enforcing their HCT/P regulations. The FDA statement yesterday makes it clear that what many of us have been saying for years is in fact true. #1 Stem cells, SVF, umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, Wharton’s Jelly, exosomes, and orthobiologics are all considered biologic drugs and ALL are improperly registered under section 361 for orthopedic applications.
