Intended Use
The EBI® Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System is intended to assist the surgeon in accurately locating anatomical structures during open or percutaneous orthopedic surgical procedures. The EBI® Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System is indicated for use in spine and trauma procedures, in which the use of stereotaxic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to rigid anatomical bony structures can be identified relative to a CT or MRI based model, fluoroscopy or an imageless model of the anatomy.
Device Description
The EBI® Acumen Surgical Navigation System includes general instrumentation that is utilized with application specific software developed and supplied by Z-Kat, Inc., Hollywood, FL. Passive markers(spheres) are attached onto the Acumen instrumentation. An infrared light source generated by the camera refects off the passive markers to allow their position and orientation to be identified. The Acumen instruments are used as: 1) an independent instrument, 2) connected to instruments, which are attached to the patient, or 3) connected to the associated implant preparation and insertion instrumentation. All Acumen instruments will have a minimum of three (3) passive markers to be tracked by the camera. They will be rigidly connected to the instrumentation utilized in the surgical procedure and will have a defined geometry of the passive marker position for a unique identification by the camera and software system. The instruments can be utilized in spine and trauma procedures and are designed as single use components.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on passive marker tracking and software for surgical navigation based on pre-operative imaging or imageless models. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, decision support, or other functions. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a surgical navigation system intended to assist the surgeon in accurately locating anatomical structures, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a surgical navigation system intended to assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures during orthopedic surgical procedures. It is used for guiding procedures rather than diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes "general instrumentation" and "passive markers" which are physical hardware components tracked by a camera. While it uses software, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The EBI® Acumen™ Surgical Navigation System is used during surgical procedures to assist the surgeon in locating anatomical structures. It uses imaging data (CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, or imageless models) and tracks instruments relative to the patient's anatomy.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on surgical guidance and navigation based on imaging and instrument tracking.

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