WIN-NEUS ™ is planning system software for brain Stereotactic surgery such as biopsies and treatment of Parkinson disease. The WIN-NEUS ™ is intended to be used with Leksell Coordinate G Frame and Leksell Multi Purpose Stereotactic Arc systems.
Device Description
WIN-NEUS ™ is planning system software for brain Stereotactic Surgery. The user can load image patient studies from different image modalities (CT, MRI, etc) with or without fiducials, register them and define a variety of image fusions among them. A brain Atlas and tools for image segmentation are also available. Image reconstructions in axial, coronal and sagital planes can be used along with image reconstruction in planes along and orthogonal to the proposed track to avoid probe intersection with critical structures or vessels. Win-NEUS is a powerful tool for Stereotactic Surgery such as biopsies and treatment of Parkinson disease.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes image processing and planning tools but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe features typically associated with AI/ML like automated analysis or prediction based on learned patterns.

No
The device is planning system software for brain stereotactic surgery, assisting in procedures like biopsies and treatment of Parkinson's disease. It does not directly perform a therapeutic action on the patient.

No

The device is described as "planning system software for brain Stereotactic Surgery" and helps the surgeon avoid critical structures, not diagnose diseases.

Yes

The device description explicitly states "WIN-NEUS ™ is planning system software" and details its functions as software-based image processing and planning tools. While it is intended to be used with hardware (Leksell Coordinate G Frame and Leksell Multi Purpose Stereotactic Arc systems), the device itself, as described, is the software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "planning system software for brain Stereotactic surgery such as biopsies and treatment of Parkinson disease." This describes a tool used during a surgical procedure to guide the surgeon, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by detailing image processing, registration, fusion, and planning tools for surgical guidance. It doesn't mention analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples. The focus is entirely on image processing and surgical planning.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is clearly related to surgical planning and execution, not in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description

WIN-NEUS is planning system software for brain Stereotactic Surgery. The user can load image patient studies from different image modalities (CT, MRI, etc) with or without fiducials, register them and define a variety of image fusions among them. A brain Atlas and tools for image segmentation are also available. Image reconstructions in axial, coronal and sagital planes can be used along with image reconstruction in planes along and orthogonal to the proposed track to avoid probe intersection with critical structures or vessels. Win-NEUS is a powerful tool for Stereotactic Surgery such as biopsies and treatment of Parkinson disease.

Stereotactic system definition (stereotactic frame and arc) is input information for the software. Other input information is images studies from the patient of different modalities. At least the reference image study has to be taken with the stereotactic frame in place and with fiducials. Fiducials are used to register the image study against the virtual space defined by the stereotactic frame already inputted at the system. Additional or auxiliary image studies can be registered either with fiducials or co-registered against previously registered image studies without using fiducials.

Once image studies have been registered, a correspondence between coordinates defined on the esterotactic frame in the real patient and points in images displayed by the software are established.

After registering images against the stereotactic frame the user can proceed to plan the stereotactic surgical procedure. He can use images to identify anatomical structures and determine the target, which is the point where the surgeon wants to take the biopsy or wants to locate the tip of a catheter for example. Afterwards the user has to decide the track, which is the intersection of the needle or catheter with the patient in order to avoid critical structures. The software will display image reconstructions with the position of the proposed track superimposed, so that the user can choose the better track.

The Output of the software are the target coordinates to be set on the stereotactic frame and angles to be set on the stereotactic arc for the surgeon to reach the chosen target with the chosen track.
