Intended Use
TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler is indicated for use in filling the gaps or voids of osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma and intended for treatment of osseous defects not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. The product is intended for use in defects of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine and pelvis). TheriFil™ parts create an interlocking network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone.
Device Description
The TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate, a commonly found mineral in bone. The porosity and geometric features of B-tricalcium phosphate create an interlocking network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by native bone.

No
The description focuses on the material properties and mechanical function of a bone void filler, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a "Bone Void Filler" indicated for "filling the gaps or voids of osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma" and for "treatment of osseous defects." This description indicates its use in treating a condition or injury.

No

Explanation: The device is a bone void filler intended for structural support and to promote bone healing, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate, which is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler's Function: The provided text clearly states that TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler is a material used to fill gaps or voids in bone within the body. It is surgically implanted and resorbs over time, being replaced by bone. This is an in vivo (within the living organism) application, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic test.

The description focuses on its physical properties, intended use in surgical procedures, and how it interacts with bone healing inside the patient. There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler is indicated for use in filling the gaps or voids of osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma and intended for treatment of osseous defects not intrinsic to the stability of the bone structure. The product is intended for use in defects of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine and pelvis). TheriFil™ parts create an interlocking network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The TheriFil™ Bone Void Filler is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate, a commonly found mineral in bone. The porosity and geometric features of B-tricalcium phosphate create an interlocking network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by native bone.
