Intended Use
Intended for the reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine for kyphoplasty (for use with CareFusion Radiopaque Bone Cement).
Device Description
The Inflatable Bone Tamp (IBT) was designed for use in balloon kyphoplasty. The balloon serves to create a cavity in the vertebral body, thereby reducing the fracture and preventing cement leakage, while still allowing for cement interdigitation. The balloon catheter is the functional part of the device that creates a cavity and reduces the fracture. The balloon catheter provides a conduit through which the physician can inflate the balloon at the distal end of the catheter.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of an inflatable bone tamp for kyphoplasty, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is described as creating a cavity and reducing fractures in the spine, which are actions intended to alleviate or treat a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates its purpose is for "reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine for kyphoplasty." This describes a therapeutic, rather than a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (Inflatable Bone Tamp) with a balloon catheter, designed for a surgical procedure (kyphoplasty). The performance studies focus on physical properties like burst pressure and volume, not software performance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the reduction and fixation of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine for kyphoplasty. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an Inflatable Bone Tamp used in balloon kyphoplasty. It is a physical tool used to create a cavity and reduce fractures within the vertebral body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such diagnostic function. It is a therapeutic device used during a surgical procedure.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical instrument used for treatment, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
