Intended Use
Z-Box is intended for use as a device which uses diagnostic images of the patient acquired specifically to assist the physician with presurgical planning and to provide orientation and reference information during intra-operative procedures. Z-Box is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be safe and effective, and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure may be made, such as: - Intra-cranial surgical procedures involving space occupying lesions or malformations (including soft tissue, vascular and osseous) - Spinal surgical procedures involving spinal stabilization, neural decompression, or resection of spinal neoplasms - ENT Procedures - Orthopedic surgical procedure
Device Description
The Z-Box System is an image guided surgical device that includes an optical detector (infrared sensor), computer, dedicated instrumentation, and operating software. Z-Box uses diagnostic images of the patient to assist the physician with presurgical planning and interpretive/interoperative navigation. Diagnostic image datasets describing internal patient anatomy or time sequences may be combined (superimposed) for comparison or to facilitate navigation during surgery. Z-Box will consist of following basic components: - High Resolution color liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen monitor - Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - Central Processing Unit (CPU) - Isolation Transformer - Keyboard and Mouse - Optical Detector (on wheeled-base pedestal) - Operating Room Cart - Tool and accessories surgical tools and accessories instrumented with LEDs or reflective markers - dMIS kit surgical instrument kit containing IGS tools and accessories and dMIS key - dMIS key electronic storage media containing disposable software application
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard image-guided surgical system using optical tracking and image superposition, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device assists with surgical planning and navigation, it does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
The device uses "diagnostic images of the patient" but is described as an "image guided surgical device" intended for "presurgical planning" and "interpretive/interoperative navigation." Its purpose is to assist the physician during surgery, not to generate a diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including an optical detector, computer, monitor, UPS, CPU, isolation transformer, keyboard, mouse, and surgical tools.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze biological samples: IVDs are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
  • Z-Box uses diagnostic images: The Z-Box system utilizes diagnostic images of the patient (like CT or MRI scans) to assist with surgical planning and navigation. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use is surgical guidance: The stated intended use is for presurgical planning and intra-operative guidance based on imaging data, not for diagnosing conditions by analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Z-Box falls under the category of an image-guided surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Vance:

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.
