Intended Use
MEDPOR® Surgical Granule Implants are intended for the augmentation or restoration of contour in the cranial facial area. They are indicated for use where a well formed pocket can be formed for containment, and where, because of the irregularity of the deformity, it is difficult to fill with other shaped implants. This material is intended exclusively for non-load bearing applications.
Device Description
MEDPOR Surgical Granular Implants are 1.15±0.15 cliameter spheres of porous polye : hylene.

No
The summary describes a porous polyethylene implant for cranial facial augmentation and restoration, with no mention of AI or ML technology in its intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device, MEDPOR® Surgical Granule Implants, is intended for augmentation or restoration of contour in the cranial facial area, and its primary function is to fill space and restore shape, not to treat or alleviate a disease or condition. While it has a medical application, it is not described as a therapeutic device.

No

This device is an implant intended for augmentation or restoration of contour, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of porous polyethylene spheres, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "augmentation or restoration of contour in the cranial facial area." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "porous polyethylene" material in the form of spheres, which is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. IVDs are used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on in vitro analysis.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MEDPOR® Surgical Granule Implants are a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device description:

MEDPOR Surgical Granular Implants are 1.15±0.15 cliameter spheres of porous polye : hylene.

Comparison with predicate device

The device of this submission is identical to the previously approved MEDPOR material except for the external dimension of the sphere. The device of this submission is substantially eculvalent to the referenced IP 200 Granular Coralline Hydroxyapatite Bone Void Fillers in that both are granular form, with granules being in the 1 mm range, and both are constructed of previously approved, although different, biomaterials. This material is intended exclusively for non-load bearing applications.
