The summary describes a physical ePTFE membrane for dura repair and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a dura substitute intended for replacement or repair of the dura, which directly treats or alleviates a disease or injury.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a replacement for dura tissue, indicating a therapeutic or reconstructive purpose rather than a diagnostic one. It does not mention any function for identifying or analyzing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a 100% ePTFE membrane, which is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Bridger Biomed Dura-Patch™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for replacement or repair of the dura." This describes a surgical implant used within the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: The device is described as a "100% ePTFE membrane" intended as a "replacement for dura tissue deficiencies." This further reinforces its nature as a surgical implant.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
Therefore, the Bridger Biomed Dura-Patch™ is a medical device, specifically a surgical implant, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

| Proprietary Name: | Dura-Patch™ Dura Substitute |
| Establishment Reg. No. | 9028940 |
| Classification: | Class II |
| Performance Standards: | Not Applicable. |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The dura substitute manufactured by Bridger Biomed Inc., |
| and is substantially equivalent to the dura substitute | |
| Preclude™ Dura Substitute, manufactured and marketed by | |

| Comparative Technological | |
| Characteristics: | Dura-Patch™ Dura Substitute is an inert and biocompatible 100% ePTFE membrane, strong enough to resist tears, supple enough to provide comfort, flexible, and is impermeable to CSF, as is the predicate device. Both devices also have a pore size of approximately 1 micron. |
| Safety & Efficacy: | Dura-Patch™ is composed of 100% expanded |
| polytetrafluoroethylene or ePTFE. ePTFE is the most inert | |

biocompatibility assays including U.S.P. Class VI, carcinogenicity studies, hemocompatibility studies, and others. ePTFE has been proven many times over to be nonreactive to body fluids and tissues making it a material of choice for biomaterial applications.
Usage of ePTFE as an implant material is well substantiated with over 4,000,000 long-term ePTFE devices implanted to date. In over 25 years of clinical use, and exposure to virtually all major tissue types, there have been no known adverse reactions to the material. Many configurations of ePTFE devices are marketed including; vascular grafts; soft tissue and cardiovascular patches; suture; pericardial, peritoneal and dura replacement membranes, periodontal implants and facial implant devices.
