Intended Use
Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are intended to be gently packed into non-loadbearing long bone voids. These bone voids may be surgically created osseous defects or osseous defects created from traumatic injury to the bone. The Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets provide a bone filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process.
Device Description
Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are provided sterile for single patient use. The biodegradable, radiopaque pellets are resorbed in 30 to 60 days when used according to labeling. Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets are 0.1g each and are supplied in pouches of 100 pellets.

No
The summary describes a simple bone filler material and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a bone filler that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process, indicating it is used for treatment and healing of osseous defects.

No
The device, Wright Plaster of Paris Pellets, is explicitly described as a bone filler intended to resorb and be replaced by bone during healing, and its function is to fill bone voids, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is described as physical pellets made of Plaster of Paris, intended to be packed into bone 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 the device is "gently packed into non-loadbearing long bone voids" to provide a bone filler. This is a therapeutic and structural application within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable material (pellets) that is resorbed by the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a structural and therapeutic purpose.
