More Information

No
The summary describes image processing and 3D rendering from CT data, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as an aid to guiding endoscopic tools and does not make a diagnosis. It displays virtual bronchoscopy images as a reference. This functionality does not inherently provide a therapeutic effect on a patient. Therapeutic devices are typically those that treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "It does not make a diagnosis." Instead, it is described as an aid for guiding endoscopic tools and displaying virtual bronchoscopy images.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is "Windows software" that processes CT data and displays images on a PC monitor. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the device 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. They are used to make a diagnosis or to monitor a patient's health.
  • Device Function: This device is a software instrument that processes CT data to create and display virtual bronchoscopy images. Its purpose is to aid physicians in guiding endoscopic tools within the pulmonary tract. It does not analyze biological samples or make a diagnosis based on such analysis.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "aid to guiding endoscopic tools" and "does not make a diagnosis."

Therefore, while it's a medical device used in a clinical setting, its function and intended use fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Storms-Tyler:

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.
