Intended Use
Synthes chronOS™ is indicated for use in bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Synthes chronOS™ is indicated for use in the treatment of bony defects created surgically or through traumatic injury. Synthes chronOS™ is intended to be gently packed or placed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. the extremities, spine, and pelvis) and may be combined with autogenous blood and/or bone marrow. Following placement into the bony void, chronOS™ resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Description
Synthes chronOS™ is a porous, osteoconductive, resorbable bone void filler made from β-Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP). Synthes chronOS™ is resorbed and replaced by new bone during the healing process. The pore structure of chronOS™ provides a matrix for the ingrowth of bone. chronOS™ is provided sterile in a double sterile pack. It is available in various forms including granules, blocks, wedges and cylinders. Synthes chronOS™ may be packaged with a perfusion syringe that is used to mix the bone void filler with the patient's blood components and/or bone marrow.

No
The document describes a bone void filler made of β-Tricalcium Phosphate and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a bone void filler used in the treatment of bony defects created surgically or through traumatic injury, which directly addresses a medical condition or injury.

No

The provided text describes Synthes chronOS™ as a resorbable bone void filler used to treat bony defects. Its function is to be placed into voids to facilitate bone growth and healing, not to identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states that Synthes chronOS™ is a physical bone void filler made from β-Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) and is provided in various physical forms (granules, blocks, wedges, cylinders). It is a physical implantable material, not software.

Based on the provided information, Synthes chronOS™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Synthes chronOS™ is a bone void filler used to treat bony defects within the body (in vivo). It is placed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system to aid in the healing process.
  • Device Description: The description details a porous, resorbable material made from β-Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) that is implanted into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Synthes chronOS™ does not perform any such analysis of bodily specimens.

Therefore, Synthes chronOS™ is a medical device intended for surgical implantation, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Anderson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
