Intended Use
Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute is intended for use as a bone void filler for voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute is indicated for use in the treatment of surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute is intended to be packed into bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system as a bone void filler (i.e., extremities and pelvis). This product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
Device Description
Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute is a bioceramic medical device that its composition of crystalline phase contains 60% hydroxyapatite (HAP) and 40% beta-tricalcium (B-TCP). Bicera™ is a bone void filler for orthopedic surgery. It is indicated for use in the treatment of surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone. This composite material is acretts resumity in vivo and is replaced by new bone. Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute is supplied sterile in various shapes and sizes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a bioceramic bone substitute material and its biocompatibility and performance in animal studies. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as a "bone void filler" intended for use in the "treatment of surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects resulting from traumatic injury to the bone." This indicates its purpose is to treat or alleviate a medical condition, qualifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

This device is a bone void filler intended for use in treating osseous defects, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "bioceramic medical device" and describes its composition and physical form (various shapes and sizes), indicating it is a physical implantable material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is as a bone void filler for surgical and traumatic bone defects. This is a therapeutic and structural application within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a bioceramic material intended to be implanted into bone voids.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue to provide diagnostic information. Bicera™ is an in vivo (within the body) implantable device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Assessments for biocompatibility evaluation are based on the final, to-be-implanted version of Bicera™. These assessments were conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO 10993 part 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, ASTM F-1408-97, USP version 34, version 34 and the guideline provided by the FDA of the United States. The test results for cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and pyrogen assessments were considered acceptable. The result of the subcutaneous implantation study shows that Bicera™ has a good affinity with the surrounding tissue with no observations of inflammatory or adverse reaction. It can be concluded that Bicera™ has a substantially equivalent biocompatibility to that of MBCP™. Bicera™ is mainly composed of 60% of hydroxyapatite and 40% of ß-tri-calcium phosphate which is an osteoconductive material and has been widely applied in clinical application for years. In addition to these biocompatibility assessments, Bicera™ was compared to the predicate device in a long bone animal critical sized defect model. The results over time at multiple post-op evaluations demonstrate that Bicera™ was substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to resorption profile and new bone formation.
