Intended Use
FluoroLab Plus will be used for navigational guidance to position instruments during surgical procedures. It will provide a method of navigational guidance of tools through the use of a standard C-arm fluoroscope to capture images and an optical camera for instrument tracking. This increase in control will free the surgeon from the iterative process conventionally used, reduce the length of the surgical procedure, and enable minimally invasive procedure. In addition, since only two fluoroscopic images are needed, the exposure to X-rays is greatly reduced. FluoroLab Plus will be used to assist in the alignment of surgical instruments by providing the surgeon with intraoperative navigational guidance based on pre-acquired fluoroscopic images. Surgeon will use coordinated-fluoroscopy to allow intra-operative planning of the alignment of surgical tools such as a screw, nail, or needle.
Device Description
FluoroLab Plus is an integrated system that helps a surgeon more accurately position drill guides, screw drivers, needles, and other surgical instruments using at least two captured fluoroscopic images. The acquired images are displayed on a flat panel monitor. Surgical tools and accessories are instrumented with LEDs or small reflective markers. Their positions and orientations are continuously tracked by an optical camera and updated in reference to the fluoroscopic images to provide constant navigational guidance to the target. FluoroLab Plus will consist of following basic components: 1) Registration phantom 2) Calibration grid 3) Fluoroscopic image intensifier system (C-arm) 4) Computer workstation with monitor and video acquisition box 5) Ergonomic cart 6) FluoroLab Plus software application 7) Optical camera with Tool Interface Unit (TIU) 8) Tools and accessories surgical tools and accessories instrumented with LEDs or reflective markers

No
The description focuses on image-guided navigation using optical tracking of instruments relative to fluoroscopic images. There is no mention of AI/ML techniques for image analysis, decision support, or other functions.

No
The device is a surgical navigation system that assists in positioning instruments during surgical procedures. It does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

This device provides navigational guidance during surgical procedures to assist in positioning instruments. It does not diagnose diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (registration phantom, calibration grid, C-arm, computer workstation, ergonomic cart, optical camera, tools and accessories) that are part of the FluoroLab Plus system, indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • FluoroLab Plus Function: The FluoroLab Plus system is described as a navigational guidance system used during surgical procedures to assist surgeons in positioning instruments. It uses fluoroscopic images and optical tracking of instruments.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the collection, preparation, or analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on providing real-time guidance based on imaging and instrument tracking within the surgical field.

Therefore, FluoroLab Plus falls under the category of a surgical navigation system or image-guided surgery system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
