No
The device description clearly states that Actifuse™ Flow is a bone void filler comprising a physical material (calcium phosphate scaffold in a polymer matrix) intended for injection into bony voids. This is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Actifuse™ Flow is a bone void filler for orthopedic applications. It is used to fill gaps and voids in bone during surgical procedures.
- Device Description: The description details the material composition and function of the device as a bone void filler that is injected into the skeletal system.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a condition, analyze a sample from the human body, or provide information about a patient's health status through in vitro testing.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. Actifuse™ Flow is a therapeutic device used directly within the body during surgery.
