Intended Use
Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is indicated for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Apatight-TCP is intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Description
Apatight–TCP Bone Graft Substitute is a porous calcium phosphate resorbable bone graft substitute for the repair of bony defects. It is an osteoconductive porous implant with a trabecular structure that resembles the multidirectional interconnected porosity of human cancellous bone. The implant is provided sterile in block and granular forms. Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute guides the three-dimensional regeneration of bone in the defect site into which it is implanted. When Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is placed in direct contact with viable host bone, new bone grows in apposition to the calcium phosphate surfaces of the implant, filling the pores with new bone. As the implant resorbs, bone grows into the space previously occupied by the bone graft substitute.

No
The description focuses on the material properties and biological function of a bone graft substitute, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is used to repair bony defects and guides bone regeneration during the healing process, making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a bone graft substitute used for repairing bony voids or gaps and guiding bone regeneration, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "porous calcium phosphate resorbable bone graft substitute" provided in "block and granular forms," indicating it is a physical material, 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 the device is a bone graft substitute intended to be implanted into bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a porous calcium phosphate implant that is surgically placed to guide bone regeneration. This is a medical device used for treatment and repair, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support and bone regeneration.

Device Description

Apatight–TCP Bone Graft Substitute is a porous calcium phosphate resorbable bone graft substitute for the repair of bony defects. It is an osteoconductive porous implant with a trabecular structure that resembles the multidirectional interconnected porosity of human cancellous bone. The implant is provided sterile in block and granular forms. Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute guides the three-dimensional regeneration of bone in the defect site into which it is implanted. When Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is placed in direct contact with viable host bone, new bone grows in apposition to the calcium phosphate surfaces of the implant, filling the pores with new bone. As the implant resorbs, bone grows into the space previously occupied by the bone graft substitute.

Summary of Performance Studies

Results of performance testing in an animal model showed that the device was well-tolerated and completely integrated into the defect site. The interconnected porosity of the Apatight-TCP implants was completely filled with new bone at the follow-up time points and there were no signs of inflammation or infection in any Apatight-TCP treated animal.

Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is indicated for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Apatight-TCP is intended to be gently packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., the extremities, spine and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison

Apatight-TCP was shown by analysis of available information to be nearly identical in intended use and equivalent in materials and configuration to the predicate device. The material chemical composition also satisfies an ASTM standard for implantable tricalcium phosphate. Results of performance testing in an animal model showed that the device was well-tolerated and completely integrated into the defect site. The interconnected porosity of the Apatight-TCP implants was completely filled with new bone at the follow-up time points and there were no signs of inflammation or infection in any Apatight-TCP treated animal. The information presented demonstrated that the Apatight-TCP Bone Graft Substitute is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device.
