Intended Use
BrainLAB hip unlimited 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 either on a patient's preoperative image data being processed by a VectorVision or a Ci™ workstation or 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 Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Tumor resection and bone/joint reconstruction
Device Description
BrainLAB hip unlimited is intended to enable operational planning and navigation in orthopedic total hip replacement 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, which is either generated through acquiring multiple landmarks on the bone surface or on patient's intra-operative acquired fluoroscopic images. BrainLAB hip unlimited uses the registered landmarks to navigate the needed surgical tools like cup reamer, cup inserter, stem broach handles and the implant, to the planned position. BrainLAB hip unlimited allows 3-dimensional reconstruction of the relevant anatomical axes and planes of the pelvis and femur and alignment of the implants. The BrainLAB hip unlimited 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. 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. The BrainLAB hip unlimited software registers the patient data needed for planning and navigating the surgery intra-operatively without CT-based imaging. 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 summary describes an image-guided navigation system that uses landmark registration and 3D modeling based on acquired data. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets, performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models, or specific algorithms that would indicate their use. The system appears to rely on established image processing and registration techniques.

No

This device is an image-guided localization and navigation system that aids surgeons during orthopedic procedures. It helps with planning and accurately positioning surgical tools and implants, but it does not directly treat or cure a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "intraoperative image-guided localization system" that aids surgeons in navigating surgical tools and implants. Its purpose is to assist in surgical procedures (planning and navigation), not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly mentions linking a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system, and surgical instruments tracked by flexible passive markers. These are hardware components, indicating the device is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "intraoperative image-guided localization system" for surgical navigation, specifically in orthopedic procedures like total hip replacement. It aids the surgeon in accurately navigating surgical tools and implants.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role in surgical planning and navigation, linking surgical instruments to virtual image space and assisting in the alignment of implants.
  • Lack of In Vitro Diagnostic Activities: An IVD is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on biological samples. It uses imaging data and anatomical landmarks to guide surgical procedures.

The device is a surgical navigation system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
