Intended Use
The ImproVise™ Absorbable Cement Flow Restrictor is intended for use as an absorbable bone cement flow restrictor for use in the intramedullary canal. This device is not intended for use in the spine.
Device Description
The ImproVise™ Absorbable Cement Flow Restrictor is designed to provide a quick, simple, and effective method of plugging the intramedullary canal with an easy-to-place absorbable foam plug. Based on the size of the reamer used to form the channel, the appropriate size foam plug is selected and is then guided onto the tip of the tool. The ImproVise™ Insertion tool is then used to advance the plug down the canal to the desired depth, using the Cement Restrictor as a guide. The ImproVise™ foam plugs are deformable and bank against the irregular shape of the canal, effectively sealing the canal at the insertion point. The cement restrictors are available in sizes small, medium, large and extra-large (9.5-11 mm, 11-13 mm, 13-15 mm, 15-17.5 mm), both in straight cylindrical and tapered versions. The restrictor can be easily carved with a scalpel at the time of surgery, or press-fit into the bone. The ImproVise™ Absorbable Cement Flow Restrictor is manufactured from a proprietary polylactic acid foam, which is greater than 90% void space.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical properties and mechanical function of an absorbable foam plug. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an absorbable cement flow restrictor used during orthopedic procedures, not as a device that delivers therapy or treatment.

No
The device is described as an absorbable cement flow restrictor used to plug the intramedullary canal, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, absorbable foam plug and an insertion tool, which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The ImproVise™ Absorbable Cement Flow Restrictor is a physical device intended to be implanted inside the body (in the intramedullary canal) during a surgical procedure. Its function is to physically restrict the flow of bone cement.
  • Lack of Specimen Testing: The description does not mention any testing of biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such testing.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ImproVise™ Absorbable Cement Flow Restrictor is a surgical implant/device, not an IVD.
