No
The description focuses on mechanical components and their function in bone expansion and cement delivery, with no mention of AI/ML for analysis, decision-making, or image processing.
Yes
The device is described as reducing spinal compression fractures, restoring sagittal alignment, significantly reducing back pain, and increasing patient functional abilities, all of which are therapeutic outcomes.
No
The device is intended for the reduction and fixation of fractures and creation of a void in bone, and for facilitating bone cement insertion (therapeutic/interventional), not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an Inflatable Bone Tamp (balloon catheter, inflation syringe), Bone Access Needle, Osteo Introducer System, Bone Filler Device, and guide impactor.
Based on the provided information, the GUARDIAN Inflatable Bone Expander System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- GUARDIAN's Function: The GUARDIAN system is a surgical device used directly within the patient's body to treat spinal fractures. It involves mechanical manipulation (expanding a balloon) and the delivery of bone cement.
- No Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens. The device's function is entirely focused on a physical intervention within the spine.
Therefore, the GUARDIAN Inflatable Bone Expander System falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The GUARDIAN Inflatable Bone Expander System is intended to be used for the reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine. This includes use during percutaneous vertebral augmentation. The system is to be used with cleared spinal polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cements indicated for use during percutaneous vertebralaugmentation, such as kyphoplasty.

Device Description
The GUARDIAN, Inflatable Bone Expander System (IBES), is designed to reduce spinal compression fracture and restore sagittal alignment. By creating a space in the vertebral body to facilitate the insertion of bone cement and using cement dispensing plunger, the major benefits of GUARDIAN are the significant reduction in back pain and increase patient's functional abilities, allow a return to the previous level of activity.
The GUARDIAN, Inflatable Bone Expander System components are Inflatable Bone Tamp (balloon catheter, inflation syringe) and accessories kit. And balloon catheter' main components are the shaft, hub and the inflatable balloon located at the distal tip and inflatable balloon is covered maximum 0.03g of silicone fluid to enhance lubricity when the balloon catheter is inserted in the cannula. Radiopaque markers located at the distal and proximal end of deflated working surface allow fluoroscopic visualization of the deflated balloon catheter during positioning.
Accessories kit consists of GUARDIAN Bone Access Needle (starting needle cannula, starting needle trocar), GUARDIAN Osteo Introducer System (guide wire, cannula, trocar-R, trocar-S, drill), GUARDIAN Bone Filler Device (cement bar, cement infusion) and guide impactor.
