Intended Use
The ARCUATE™ Vertebral Augmentation System is indicated for the treatment of painful pathological fractures of the vertebral body. Vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions and/or malignant lesions such as metastatic cancers and myeloma.
Device Description
The ARCUATE™ Vertebral Augmentation System consists of a variety of manual instruments which provides physicians with a means to percutaneously deliver polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement to the spine in vertebroplasty procedures. The ARCUATE™ Vertebral Augmentation System kits are packaged with VISIOPLAST™ Spine Cement, which has been previously cleared by the FDA for use in the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures.
More Information

No
The device description and the absence of mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, along with the lack of information on training/test sets or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML, indicate that this device does not incorporate AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of painful pathological fractures of the vertebral body," which is a therapeutic purpose. It delivers bone cement to improve patient health.

No
The device is a system for delivering bone cement to treat vertebral fractures, not for diagnosing them. It is indicated for the "treatment of painful pathological fractures."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "manual instruments" and is a "system" for delivering bone cement, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The ARCUATE™ Vertebral Augmentation System is a system of manual instruments used to deliver bone cement directly into the patient's body (specifically, the spine) during a surgical procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat painful vertebral fractures by augmenting the bone with cement, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The device is a surgical system used for a therapeutic procedure, not for analyzing samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.
