The 510(k) summary describes a bone void filler made of hydroxylapatite with a porous structure. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on the material properties and physical structure of the implant.
Yes
ApaPore® is a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process, and its purpose is to provide a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process, which directly addresses a medical condition or ailment.
No
Explanation: The provided text describes ApaPore® as a "bone void filler" used for "orthopedic applications" to fill "gaps and voids" in the skeletal system. Its function is to "resorb and be replaced by bone during the healing process" and provide a "scaffold for new mature host bone growth." None of the descriptions indicate that the device is used to identify or diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states that ApaPore® is a physical bone void filler made of phase-pure hydroxylapatite, available as chips of different sizes and porosities. This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.
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 ApaPore® is a bone void filler for orthopedic applications. It is designed to be implanted into the body to fill gaps and voids in bone.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implantable material (phase-pure hydroxylapatite osteoconductive bone void filler) with a specific structure and composition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose a condition, or monitor treatment.
IVD devices are used outside the body to examine specimens. ApaPore® is used inside the body as a therapeutic and structural support.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
ApaPore® is a bone void filler intended only for orthopedic applications as a filler for gaps and voids that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. ApaPore® is indicated to be packed gently into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system, i.e. extremities, spine and pelvis. These defects may be surgically created osseous defect or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
ApaPore® is used in open bone voids that may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. ApaPore® is intended for use on bone voids/gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure of the skeletal system, i.e., in the extremities, spine and pelvis.
ApaPore® is intended to be carefully packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine or pelvis). Following placement in the bony void. the synthetic bone void filler ApaPore® provides a scaffold for new mature host bone growth.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
ApaPore® is composed of a porous calcium salt, hydroxylapatite, equivalent to that contained in both predicate devices and to that in routine clinical use. The technologies employed in ApaPore® and both of its predicate devices is therefore substantially equivalent. ApaPore® is presented in irregular granules or chips in the same manner as its predicate devices. Its indications, contraindications, risks and potential nd verse events are the same and thus substantial equivalence is claimed for the device.
Testing
Extensive bench testing has shown ApaPore® to meet the requirements of all relevant standards for Calcium Salt Bone Void Fillers. Extensive precision of an receant ApaPore® to be safe and effective in providing a scaffold for rapid bone repair via bonny infiltration of the porous scaffolds. ApaPore® has been regularly used clinically for the past 16 months and no adverse events have been reported.
