The document describes a calcium phosphate cement for filling bone voids. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The device is a material, not a software or imaging-based system that would typically incorporate AI/ML.
No
This device is a bone substitute cement used to fill bony voids and support bone fragments, not for therapeutic treatment.
No
The device is a calcium phosphate cement used to fill bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system. Its purpose is to augment provisional hardware and provide temporary support, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device is a physical bone substitute material (calcium phosphate cement) and associated delivery components (syringes), not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system" and "augment provisional hardware". This is a therapeutic and structural application within the body.
- Device Description: The description details a "bone substitute" that is "injectable, sculptable, drillable, fast self-setting" and "converts to hydroxyapatite in vivo". These are characteristics of a material implanted or used directly on the body.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or provide information for diagnosis. IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
The device is a medical device used for surgical procedures and bone repair, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
DSM Biomedical Calcium Phosphate Cement is indicated to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e. extremities and pelvis). These defects may be surgically created from traumatic injury to the bone. The Calcium Phosphate Cement is indicated only for bony voids or gaps that are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. The Calcium Phosphate Cement cured in situ provides an open void/gap filler that can augment provisional hardware (e.g. K-Wires, plates, screws) to help support bone fragments during the surgical procedure. The cured cement acts only as a temporary support media and is not intended to provide structural support during the healing process. The Calcium Phosphate Cement resorb and is replaced by bone during the healing process.
