Intended Use
TheriLink™ 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). TheriLink™ parts create a network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone.
Device Description
The TheriLink™ Bone Void Filler is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP), a commonly found mineral in bone. The porosity and geometric features of ß-tricalcium phosphate create a network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by native bone.

No
The document describes a bone void filler material and its physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML technology being used in the device itself or its function. The mention of SEM image analysis for porosity characterization does not indicate the use of AI/ML for this analysis.

Yes
The device is described as "Bone Void Filler" and is "indicated for use in filling the gaps or voids of osseous defects surgically created or resulting from trauma," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it is intended to treat a condition.

No
The device is a bone void filler intended for use in filling osseous defects, functioning as a structural replacement that resorbs and is replaced by bone. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is constructed of synthetic ß-tricalcium phosphate, which is a physical material, not software. The mention of image processing is for characterization of the physical material, not the primary function of the device itself.

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 TheriLink™ Bone Void Filler is used to fill gaps or voids in bone defects within the body (in vivo). It is a surgical implant intended to be placed directly into the skeletal system.
  • Device Description: The description details the material and structure of the bone void filler itself, which is a physical implant.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

While the device description mentions using SEM images for characterization (which is a laboratory technique), this is a method used to analyze the physical properties of the device itself, not to diagnose or monitor a patient's condition using a biological sample.

Therefore, TheriLink™ Bone Void Filler falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

cu ose / Indications 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). TheriLink™ parts create a network within the defect site that resorbs during healing and is replaced by bone.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

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