Intended Use
BF+ is indicated for filling bone voids or defects of the skeletal system (such as the extremities, spine and the pelvis) that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. These defects may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. BF+ is a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Description
The BF+ is a synthetic, resorbable calcium phosphate bone void filler. It is an osteoconductive material which provides a porous scaffold upon which bone formation can occur. The interconnected porosity ranges from 60 to 80% with a pore size range of 200 to 500um. The device is available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

No
The summary describes a synthetic bone void filler and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for filling bone voids or defects and is a bone graft substitute that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process, clearly indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a bone graft substitute and bone void filler, intended for filling bone defects, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that BF+ is a "synthetic, resorbable calcium phosphate bone void filler" and describes its physical properties (porosity, pore size, shapes, and sizes). This indicates it 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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • BF+ Function: The description clearly states that BF+ is a "bone void filler" and "bone graft substitute" that is implanted directly into the skeletal system to help with bone healing. It is used in vivo (within the body), not in vitro (outside the body).

The intended use and device description clearly indicate that BF+ is a surgical implant used to treat bone defects, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Burkinshaw:

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.
