No
The summary describes image-guided navigation and 3D modeling based on landmarks and registered images, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, planning, or guidance.
No
The device is described as an "intra-operative image-guided localization system" and "navigation software" intended to support surgeons in planning and guiding minimally-invasive surgery, specifically for ACL repair. It does not directly provide therapy but rather aids in the surgical procedure.
No
This device is described as an "intra-operative image-guided localization system" and "navigation software" intended to support surgeons in planning and guiding surgical procedures, specifically for ligament repair. It uses imaging data and a 3D model to assist with "drill-tunnel guidance" and "planning and drilling of ideal graft canals." Its function is to assist in the execution of surgery, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "touchscreen-based-intra-operative planning and navigation software," but it also describes linking a "freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system" and using a "VectorVision workstation." This indicates the system includes hardware components beyond just the 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The BrainLAB VectorVision ACL is an intra-operative image-guided localization system. Its purpose is to assist surgeons during surgery by providing real-time guidance based on imaging data. It helps with planning and navigating surgical procedures, specifically for ACL repair.
- No Specimen Testing: The description clearly states that the system uses imaging data (CT, fluoroscopic, x-ray, MR) and a 3D surface model of the patient's bone. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing biological specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the BrainLAB VectorVision ACL falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
BrainLAB VectorVision ACL 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 virtua computer image space on a patient's intraoperative image data which is processed by a VectorVision workstation. A virtual individual 3D-surface model of the patient's bone, which is generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface, supplements the 2D information of the intraoperative image data.
The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriati and where a reference to a bone structure, such as tibia and femur, can be identified relative to a CT fluoroscopic, x-ray or MR-based model of the anatomy.
An example procedure includes but is not limited to:
Planning and drill-tunnel guidance of interosseous canals for ligament repair on the knee.

Device Description
BrainLAB VectorVision® ACL is a touchscreen-based-intra-operative planning and navigation software, designed for use in anterior cruciate ligament surgey. It is intended to support the surgeon in the planning and drilling of ideal graft canals for the replacement of a torn Anterior Cruciate Liqament (ACL). VVACL uses registered fluoroscopic images and their defined exact spatial position to the patient. These images are acquired intra-operatively using a C-arm. A virtual individual 3D-surface model of the patient's generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface, supplements the 2D information of the intra-operative image data.
