Intended Use
BrainLAB VectorVision is intended to be an intraoperative image quided localization system to enable minimally invasive surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on an individual 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. 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, MR based model of the anatomy. The system aids the surgeon to accurately navigate a knee endoprothesis to the intraoperatively planned position. Ligament balancing and measurements of bone alignment are provided by VectorVision® uni-knee. Example orthopedic surgical procedures include but are not limited to: Knee Procedures: Unicondylar Knee Replacement Ligament Balancing Range of Motion Analysis Patella Tracking
Device Description
BrainLAB VectorVision®uni-knee is intended to enable 3 dimensional implant planning and navigation for unicompartimental orthopedic knee surgery. The SW links a surgical instrument tracked by passive markers to a 3D-model of the patient's bone, which is generated by acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface. Vector\/ision® uni-knee uses the registered landmarks to navigate the femoral and tibial cutting guides to the pre-planned position. VectorVision® uni-knee allows 3-dimensional reconstruction of the mechanical axes and alignment of the implants. The VectorVision® uni-knee software has been designed to read in implant data and tool data from different manufacturers and offers to individually choose the prosthesis during each surgery. The VectorVision® uni-knee software registers the patient data needed for planning and navigating intraoperatively. No preoperative CT-scanning is necessary.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a traditional image-guided navigation system based on landmark registration and 3D modeling, with no mention of AI or ML techniques for image processing, planning, or navigation.

No
The device is an image-guided localization system that aids surgeons in navigation and planning during surgery, rather than directly treating a medical condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an image-guided localization system that aids surgeons in navigation, planning, and performing minimally invasive surgery. It provides 3D reconstruction and alignment information for surgical purposes, but it does not diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states that the software "links a surgical instrument tracked by passive markers" and "uses the registered landmarks to navigate the femoral and tibial cutting guides." This indicates the system includes hardware components (surgical instruments, passive markers, cutting guides) beyond just the software itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The BrainLAB VectorVision system is an image-guided localization system used during surgery to help surgeons navigate and position instruments and implants based on pre-operative imaging and intraoperative landmark acquisition. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical navigation system for procedures like knee replacement, not a diagnostic test performed on patient samples.

Therefore, the BrainLAB VectorVision system falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
