The document describes a bioceramic bone substitute material and its physical, chemical, and biological properties. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "Resorbable Bone Substitute" intended to fill bone voids and be replaced by bone during healing, which directly contributes to the treatment and repair of damaged bone tissue.
No.
The device is a bone substitute intended for filling bone voids, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "bioceramic medical device" and is supplied "sterile in various shapes and sizes," indicating it is a physical product, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute's Function: The description clearly states that Bicera® is a bone void filler intended to be implanted into the skeletal system to help with bone healing. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. Its purpose is structural support and promoting bone regeneration.
Therefore, Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for 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 (i.e., extremities, posterolateral spine and pelvis) as a bone void filler. 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 (ß-TCP). The bone graft can be used as a bone 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. The composite material is gradually resorbed and replaced by bone tissues. Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute is supplied sterile in various shapes and sizes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Physical and chemical properties evaluations, biocompatibility tests and functional animal studies were performed for Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute. Biocompatibility of the device has been established according to ISO 10993 and relevant standards. Test results of cytotoxicity, sensitization, subchronic toxicity, acute systemic toxicity and genotoxicity assessments are considered acceptable. The subcutaneous implantation study shows that Bicera® has a good affinity with the surrounding tissue and elicits no inflammation or adverse reaction. The pyrogen and endotoxin testing indicate that Bicera® meets the pyrogen limit specifications. In addition to these biocompatibility assessments, the comparison of Bicera® to the predicate device in the implantation in long bone animal model and posterolateral spine fusion model demonstrate that Bicera® has similar effectiveness in bone formation to the predicate device.

Dear Yi-Chun Su:
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.

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 (ß-TCP). The bone graft can be used as a bone 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. The composite material is gradually resorbed and replaced by bone tissues. Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute is supplied sterile in various shapes and sizes.
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.

This product provides a bone void filler that resorbs and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute and the predicate devices are resorbable calcium salt bone void filler consisting 60% HAP and 40% ß-TCP. The physiochemical properties (e.g., interconnected porous structure, pore size distribution, porosity, Ca/P ratio, etc.) of Bicera® are similar to the predicate devices.
Discussions of Non-Clinical Tests for Determination of Substantial Equivalence
Physical and chemical properties evaluations, biocompatibility tests and functional animal studies were performed for Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute. Biocompatibility of the device has been established according to ISO 10993 and relevant standards. Test results of cytotoxicity, sensitization, subchronic toxicity, acute systemic toxicity and genotoxicity assessments are considered acceptable. The subcutaneous implantation study shows that Bicera® has a good affinity with the surrounding tissue and elicits no inflammation or adverse reaction. The pyrogen and endotoxin testing indicate that Bicera® meets the pyrogen limit specifications. In addition to these biocompatibility assessments, the comparison of Bicera® to the predicate device in the implantation in long bone animal model and posterolateral spine fusion model demonstrate that Bicera® has similar effectiveness in bone formation to the predicate device.
Conclusion
The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications for use of the originally cleared Bicera™ Resorbable Bone Substitute (K110949). The subject device is identical
5
to the device described in K110949. Bicera® Resorbable Bone Substitute has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics and principles of operation to the predicate device, MBCP™ (K032268). Based on the non-clinical testing data, Bicera® is determined substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
