Intended Use
BrainLAB VectorVision is intended to be an intraoperative image guided 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 considered to be safe and effective 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 hip endoprothesis to the preoperatively or intraoperatively planned position. Example orthopedic surgical procedures include but are not limited to: Total Joint Replacement (TJR) Revision surgery of TJR Minimal Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Tumor resection and bone/joint reconstruction
Device Description
BrainLAB VectorVision® hip Software is intended to enable operational planning and navigation in orthopedic surgery. It links a surgical instrument, tracked by flexible passive markers to virtual computer image space on an individual 3D-model of the patient's bone, generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface either by a pointer probe or by acquiring pairs of registered fluoroscopic images. VectorVision® hip Software uses the registered landmarks to navigate the needed surgical tools like cup reamer, cup inserter, stem rasp, bone saw and the implant to the planned position. If no implant data is available it is possible to provide information in order to achieve a generally targeted alignment relative to the bone orientation as defined by the operating surgeon. Vector\Vision® hip Software allows 3-dimensional reconstruction of the relevant mechanical axes and planes of femur and pelvis and alignment of the implants. The VectorVision® hip Software has been designed to read in data of implants and tools if provided by the implant manufacturer and offers to individually choose the prosthesis during each surgery. The VectorVision® hip Software registers the patient data needed for planning and navigating the surgery intra-operatively within the CT free module. The System can be used to generally align tool orientations according to the anatomy described and defined by the landmarks acquired by the surgeon.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on image-guided navigation based on landmark registration and 3D reconstruction, without mentioning AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, planning, or navigation. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is an image-guided localization system that aids surgeons in navigation during surgery, rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect.

No

The device is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system" and a "navigation" system for surgery, which aids the surgeon in accurately placing implants and tools. It does not provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it "links a surgical instrument, tracked by flexible passive markers" and "uses the registered landmarks to navigate the needed surgical tools". This indicates the system includes hardware components (passive markers, tracking system, surgical instruments) beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease or conditions.
  • BrainLAB VectorVision's Intended Use: The intended use of BrainLAB VectorVision is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system" to aid surgeons in navigating surgical tools and implants during surgery. It uses imaging data (CT, X-ray, MR) and anatomical landmarks to create a 3D model and guide surgical procedures.
  • Lack of Specimen Examination: The description does not mention the collection, preparation, or examination of any specimens from the patient's body. The system works with imaging data and the patient's anatomy directly.

Therefore, the BrainLAB VectorVision system falls under the category of a surgical navigation or image-guided surgery system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
