Intended Use
The BrainLAB Kolibri IGS System is intended to be an intraoperative image guided localization system to enable minimally invasive surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a magnetic sensor system or a passive marker sensor system to a virtual computer image space on a patient's preoperative diagnostic image data set being processed by the Kolibri computer workstation. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-ray or MR based model of the anatomy. Example image quided cranial surgery procedures include but are not limited to: 1. Tumor resections 2. Skull base surgery 3. Cranial biopsies 4. Craniotomies/Craniectomies Example image guided ENT surgery procedures include, but are not limited to: 1. Transphenoidal procedures 2. Maxillary antrostomies 3. Ethmoidectomies. 4. Sphenoidotomies./sphenoid explorations, 5. Turbinate resections 6. Frontal sinusotomies 7. Intranasal procedures
Device Description
The Kolibri Image Guidance System is based on a portable hardware platform with integrated touch screen monitor. 3D tracking system controller and computer workstation. The navigation software won't be installed on the system hard disk but will be delivered on "memory modules that will be externally plugged into the system platform according to the current intended kind of surgery. The localization of patient position and surgical tools within the operating field will be performed by a magnetic or optical 3D localization system. All patient data needed for the image quided surgery will be transferred via the hospital LAN network or external media drives to the Kolibri workstation. Once the patient data is transferred to the Kolibri system, the application software automatically starts with the patient registration procedure. The user may perform the patient to 3D data registration either by using anatomical landmarks, fiducial markers or surface matching. The patient registration will be performed by use of a magnetic or optically tracked registration pointer. The surgeon can control all software functions of the Kollbri navigation system via touch screen. Therefore the monitor of the Kolibri navigation system will be draped with a sterile drape.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard image-guided surgery system using tracking and registration techniques, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device is used for navigation and localization during surgery, assisting the surgeon in performing the procedure, but it does not directly apply therapy or treat a condition itself.

No

The device is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system" used during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It uses pre-existing diagnostic images but does not perform diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "portable hardware platform with integrated touch screen monitor, 3D tracking system controller and computer workstation." It also describes the use of a "magnetic or optical 3D localization system" and a "magnetic or optically tracked registration pointer," all of which are hardware components. While the software is a crucial part of the system, the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the BrainLAB Kolibri IGS System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Kolibri System Function: The Kolibri system is an intraoperative image guided localization system. Its purpose is to help surgeons navigate during surgery by linking real-time surgical tools to pre-operative imaging data (CT, X-ray, MR). It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intraoperative image guided localization" and "enabling minimally invasive surgery." This is a surgical navigation tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on hardware for tracking, image processing, and user interface for surgical guidance. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the BrainLAB Kolibri IGS System falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
