Intended Use
For use as a stereotactic system accessory to aid in auto-registration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous image guided surgery. It is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of sterotactic surgery may be considered to be safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified relative to a CT or MR-based model of the anatomy.

No
The summary does not contain any explicit mentions of AI, ML, deep learning, or related terms, nor does it describe features or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices (like training/test sets, AUC, sensitivity/specificity). The description focuses on "auto-registration and localization" which can be achieved through traditional image processing algorithms.

No
The device is described as an accessory to aid in auto-registration and localization for image-guided surgery, not as a device that directly treats a medical condition. Its purpose is to assist in surgical procedures.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a stereotactic system accessory to aid in auto-registration and localization for image-guided surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It aids in surgical procedures by localizing anatomical structures, which is a therapeutic or assistive function, not a diagnostic one.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. The intended use describes a stereotactic system accessory, which often involves hardware components for tracking and localization. Without a description of the device itself, it's impossible to definitively say if it's purely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The intended use describes the device as a "stereotactic system accessory to aid in auto-registration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous image guided surgery." This involves using imaging data (CT or MR) to guide surgical procedures directly on the patient's body.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. The device works with imaging data of the patient's anatomy.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical guidance or navigation system accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Trade/Device Name: SpherzTM Regulation Number: 21 CFR 882.4560 Regulation Name: Stereotaxic Instrument Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: HAW Dated: June 17, 2002 Received: June 26, 2002

Dear Ms. Zinreich:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
