Intended Use
Stimulan™ is intended for use in clinical situations where the use of autologous grafts or other bone graft substitutes may be undesirable, due either to the risk of associated infection or unavailability. Stimulan™ is manufactured from medical grade calcium sulfate that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. Also, as the implant is biodegradable and biocompatible, it may be used at an infected site.
Device Description
Stimulan™ Calcium Sulfate Bone Void Filler pellets are provided sterile for single patient use. The biodegradable, radiopaque pellets are resorbed in approximately 30-60 pans when used in accordance with the device labeling. Stimulan™ is manufactured from 98% medical grade calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 - 2H2O) and stearic acid.

No
The summary describes a calcium sulfate bone void filler and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to be used in clinical situations to replace bone during the healing process, demonstrating a therapeutic effect.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes Stimulan™ as a bone void filler intended to be replaced by bone during healing, indicating it is a therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one. Its function is to treat a condition by filling voids and promoting bone growth, not to diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (pellets) made from calcium sulfate, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes Stimulan™ as a bone void filler used in clinical situations where bone grafts are undesirable. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and physical properties of the pellets, which are implanted into the body. IVDs are typically used to examine samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of Stimulan™ being used to detect, measure, or analyze any biological markers or substances for diagnostic purposes.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used in a "Bone void," which is a physical location within the body, not a sample being analyzed.

In summary, Stimulan™ is a therapeutic device used to fill bone voids and aid in bone healing, not a diagnostic device used to analyze samples for diagnostic information.

Device Description:

Stimulan™ Calcium Sulfate Bone Void Filler pellets are provided sterile for single patient use. The biodegradable, radiopaque pellets are resorbed in approximately 30-60 pans when used in accordance with the device labeling. Stimulan™ is manufactured from 98% medical grade calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 - 2H2O) and stearic acid.

Indications For Use:

Stimulan™ is intended for use in clinical situations where the use of autologous grafts or other bone graft substitutes may be undesirable, due either to the risk of associated infection or unavailability. Stimulan™ is manufactured from medical grade calcium sulfate that resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. Also, as the implant is biodegradable and biocompatible, it may be used at an infected site.

Technological Characteristics:

Stimulan™ has the equivalent technological characteristics (i.e. chemical composition, and dissolution rate performance as the predicate device.

Performance Date:

Testing demonstrated that Stimulan™ has equivalent dissolution, mechanical and mass to volume ratio characteristics to the predicate device. Testing indicated that the product is non-pyrogenic.

Basis for Substantial Equivalence:

Stimulan™ is safe and effective because it is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of chemical composition, indication of use, and product performances.
