Intended Use
BrainLAB VectorVision trauma is intended to be a pre- and 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 a patient's pre- or intraoperative image data being processed by a VectorVision workstation. 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 bone structure like tubular bones, pelvic, calcaneus and talus, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, fluoroscopic, X-ray or MR based model of the anatomy. Example procedures include but are not limited to: Spinal procedures and spinal implant procedures such as pedicle screw placement. Pelvis and acetabular fracture treatment such as screw placement or illo-sacral screw fixation. Fracture treatment procedures, such as intramedullary nailing or screwing or external fixation procedures in the tubular bones.
Device Description
BrainLAB VectorVision trauma is intended to enable operational navigation in spinal, orthopedic and traumatologic surgery. It links a surgical instrument, tracked by flexible passive markers to virtual computer image space on a patient's intraoperative image data being processed by a VectorVision workstation. VectorVision trauma allows navigation of intraoperatively acquired images considering patient's movement in correlation to calibrated surgical instruments. This allows implant positioning, screw placement and bone reduction in different views and reduces the need for treatments under permanent fluoroscopic radiation.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on image-guided navigation and tracking, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, decision support, or other functions.

No.
The device is an image-guided localization system used for navigation during surgery, not directly for treating a medical condition.

No

The device is described as an image-guided localization system intended for pre- and intraoperative navigation to facilitate minimally invasive surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions linking a surgical instrument tracked by passive markers and a VectorVision workstation, indicating hardware components beyond just software.

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 description clearly states that the BrainLAB VectorVision trauma is an image-guided localization system used during surgery to help guide instruments based on pre- or intraoperative imaging of the patient's anatomy. It is a surgical navigation system.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. It uses imaging data to provide guidance for surgical procedures.

Therefore, the BrainLAB VectorVision trauma falls under the category of a surgical navigation or image-guided surgery system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
