Intended Use

The Stratasys FDM MedModeler is indicated as an image processing accessory, used to create three dimensional models from 3D surface representation data or 2D contour data as a diagnostic tool, as a pre-operative planning tool, and to enhance communication with patients, other professionals or students.

Device Story

System produces physical 3D anatomical models from CT/MRI imaging data; utilizes QuickSlice software, FDM hardware, modeling materials, and computer workstation. Input: 3D surface representation or 2D contour data derived from medical imaging. Operation: software processes imaging data to generate physical models via FDM hardware. Used in clinical settings for pre-operative planning, diagnostic support, and patient/professional communication. Output: physical 3D anatomical model. Benefits: provides tangible anatomical representation to assist clinicians in surgical planning and patient education.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including hazard/risk analysis, model generation reports, and software/hardware validation to confirm performance within system requirements for CAD, CT, and MRI image modeling.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises QuickSlice software, FDM hardware, modeling materials, and a computer workstation. Functions as an image processing accessory for 3D model fabrication. Software-based processing of CT/MRI data.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an image processing accessory to create 3D anatomical models from 3D surface or 2D contour data for diagnostic, pre-operative planning, and educational communication purposes.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

P.O. Box 560 Stillwater, MN 55082 | **CONTACT PERSON:** Elaine Duncan **DATE SUMMARY PREPARED:** April 3, 1997 **TRADE NAME:** Stratasys FDM® MedModeler System **COMMON NAME:** Radiology Accessory **SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO:** The Stratasys FDM MedModeler System is substantially equivalent to the SurgiCAD image processing accessory accepted under premarket notification K924630. **DESCRIPTION of the DEVICE:** The Stratasys FDM MedModeler produces anatomical models for use in a variety of medical applications using CT and MRI imaging data. The four main parts of the FDM system, as displayed in Figure 1 (previous page) are 1) the QuickSlice Software, 2) FDM Hardware, 3) Modeling Materials and a 4) Computer Workstation. **INDICATIONS FOR USE:** The Stratasys FDM MedModeler is indicated as an image processing accessory, used to create three dimensional models from 3D surface representation data or 2D contour data as a diagnostic tool, as a pre-operative planning tool, and to enhance communication with patients, other professionals or students. **CLINICAL INFORMATION and SAFETY and EFFECTIVENESS:** Hazard/Risk Analysis demonstrates that the safety of the Stratasys FDM MedModeler is acceptable and that identified potential risks are within acceptable limits for likelihood of occurrence and severity of hazards. The model generation report demonstrates that the FDM MedModeler performed as intended and within system requirements for CAD, CT and MRI image modeling, and produced satisfactory models. Software development information, software validation and hardware validation information are also provided according to FDA guidance requirements. 21 {1} DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 JUN 20 1997 Re: K971290 Stratasys FDM® MedModeler System Radiology Accessory Dated: April 3, 1997 Received: April 7, 1997 Unclassified/Procode: 90 LLZ Stratasys, Inc. c/o Elaine Duncan, RAC, M.S.M.E. President Paladin Medical℠, Inc. P.O. Box 560 Stillwater, MN 55082-0560 Dear Ms. Duncan: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
