No
The description focuses on the material, manufacturing process (3D printing), and design based on CT data and surgeon input. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design or manufacturing process.

No.
The device is an implant designed to fill a bony void or defect in the cranial skeleton, not to treat a disease or medical condition in a therapeutic manner.

No
The device, VSP PEEK Cranial Implant, is described as an implantable device used to fill bony voids or defects in the cranial skeleton. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic device, as it does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical implant made of PEEK material, designed and manufactured using CT data and 3D printing. While software is used in the design process, the final product is a tangible medical device, not software itself.

No, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The VSP PEEK Cranial Implant is a physical implant designed to fill a bony void in the cranial skeleton. It is surgically implanted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to fill a bony defect, not to analyze a specimen from the body.
  • Input Data: While it uses CT imaging data for design, this data is used to create the physical implant, not to perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.

This device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Brief Summary of Performance Testing

The impact of the differences in the manufacturing process on the device performances are studied in detail. The performance testing of the VSP PEEK Cranial Implant includes the following tests to evaluate the substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device:

  • Biocompatibility Testing ●
  • Performance Bench Testing: Mechanics
  • Performance Bench Testing: Anatomical fit

Biocompatibility Testing

The VSP PEEK Cranial Implant was biologically evaluated in order to verify compliance according to the technical specifications and standards of ISO-10993 ("Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing").

Biocompatibility tests were conducted according to the above-mentioned standards and the results obtained from test specimens were found to be within the acceptance criteria described in the standards.

Performance Bench Testing

Various performance-bench tests regarding mechanics, including static testing and impact testing, were performed on the VSP PEEK Cranial Implant. The testing protocol was set up based on literature research, since there is no industry accepted standard governing mechanical testing for non-load bearing implantable prosthetic plates. Results indicate that the VSP PEEK Cranial Implant as replacements for bone defects have acceptable mechanical performance following sterilization or when used in combination with common osteosynthesis fixation systems.

Additionally, the size accuracy and usability of the implant was tested performing an anatomical fit test. Simulated surgical procedures were performed on anatomical models on test bench by surgeons. Several implantations were performed using commercially available cranioplasty fixation systems and reviewed by each surgeon. Results indicate that the size accuracy and usability of the VSP PEEK Cranial Implant is acceptable to surgeons.

The VSP PEEK Cranial Implant was bench tested in order to verify compliance according to the technical and biomechanical specifications.

CONCLUSION

According to the comparison of the intended use/indications for use and the non-clinical performance testing, it is concluded that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
