Dear Mr. Birkenbach:

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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Indications for Use

K041703 510(k) Number (if known):

iPlan! Device Name:

Indications For Use:

iPlan!'s indications for use is to prepare and present patient and image data based on CT, MR, X-ray (Fluoro), including

  • image preparation -
  • image fusion
  • image segmentation -

where the result is used for the creation of treatment plans for Stereotactic Surgery:

- Surgerv Planning

The Surgery Planning is a tool for pre- and intraoperative stereotactic surgery planning based on stereotactic systems. Multiple graphical display functions and 3-dimensional views of anatomical structures offer effective and efficient means of presenting the anatomical data for diagnostic and surgical planning. Computer-graphic simulation in various views of a chosen probe path can help prevent probe intersections with unwanted, critical structures or vessels.

The surgeon can interactively change a probe path simulation through the image slices in the software with on-line calculation of the accompanying arc settings and graphical manipulation to aid in optimizing his approach.

- BrainMAP

The BrainMAP module is a tool, which defines two and three-dimensional information about anatomical structures of the human brain for pre- and intraoperative planning of stereotactic procedures. These contours are defined and described by

Talairach/Tournoux and/or Schaltenbrand/Wahren based brain atlases.

The user is provided with information about the position of the various functional and anatomical areas of the brain. These positions of the structures have to be correlated with every patients brain data. The correlation is defined by a procedure defined by Talairach/Tournoux. Using their grid system to divide the brain in particular areas, the program will be able to provide matching data for different patient data. BrainMAP may be used alone or in conjunction with neurosurgery.

- Functional Planning

The Functional Planning is based on Surgery Planning, which gives two- and three dimensional online information of a stereotactical surgical instrument (electrodes) for a neurosurqical functional treatment using a stereotactic arc. The user is provided with information by numerical results and by various displays and reconstruction planes based on patient images (CT, MRI, PET, SPECT) about the position and orientation relative to the patient of his surgical instrument to perform stimulation and treatment on brain structures or to a preplanned trajectory .

Page 1 of 3

{4}------------------------------------------------

The software is capable of displaying the trajectory and functional areas of the brain based on BrainMAP online on the screen and recording the stimulations by storing positions of the electrodes.

The Functional Planning is intended to be used with patients where measurement, stimulation and placement of electrodes in the brain (pallidotomy) are part of the treatment. The stereotactic arc system is useful for placing these electrodes or using the instruments during the treatment and in the planning phases of the functional treatment.

In addition iPlan!'s indications for use is to prepare and present patient and image data based on CT, MR, X-ray (Fluoro) including

  • image preparation -
  • image fusion
  • image segmentation -

where the result is preplanned data to be used by other BrainLAB medical devices such as VectorVision (for performing the planned treatment) where these medical devices are used for:

Image Guided Surgerv

BrainLAB's Image Guided Surgery system is intended to be an intraoperative image guided localization system to enable minimally invasive surgery where the image guided surgery system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be considered to be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or verfebra, can be identified relative to a CT, X-ray or MR based model of the anatomy.

Example procedures include but are not limited to:

  • Cranial procedures ー
  • -Spine procedures
  • -ENT procedures

Additional Indications For Use:

iPlan! FiberTracking's indication for use is to prepare and present patient and image data based on MRI scanned with diffusion-weighted sequences. These diffusion images are used for the calculation and display of fiber bundles in a selected region of interest. The created treatment plans of iPlan! FiberTracking can be used with other iPlan! treatment plans and other BrainLAB medical devices such as VectorVision, where this medical device is used for image guided surgery.
