Intended Use
The ig4™ Image Guided System is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT) or 3D fluoroscopic x-ray systems. The ig4 System is indicated for displaying an interventional instrument such as a biopsy needle, an aspiration needle, or ablation needle, on a computer monitor that also displays a CT-based or 3D fluoroscopic x-ray-based model of the target organ(s). The ig4™ System is additionally indicated for overlaying Ultrasound images onto the model of the target organ(s). The ig4™ System compensates for the patient's respiratory phases. The ig4™ System is intended for use in clinical interventions and for anatomical structures where computed tomography, 3D fluoroscopic x-ray, or ultrasound are currently used for visualizing such procedures.
Device Description
The ig4™ Image Guided System is an accessory for a CT or 3D fluoroscopic x-ray System that utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate instruments relative to a CTbased or 3D fluoroscopic x-ray-based model of the patient anatomy. The system software allows additional data overlay of real-time Ultrasound images onto the model of the patient anatomy. Due to system use to locate structures in soft tissue, the system incorporates a method of gating the location information on soft tissue to the patient's respiration. The ig4™ System consists of an EM tracking accessory for rigid needles/Ultrasound probes or tip-tracked coaxial needle, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, software and a computer system.

No
The summary describes an image-guided navigation system using electromagnetic tracking and image overlay, with a focus on compensating for respiratory motion. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets, performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML, or complex image analysis beyond overlay and tracking.

No
The device is a stereotactic accessory used for displaying instruments and aiding in navigation during interventional procedures, not for treating a condition itself.

No
The device is used for navigation and visualization of instruments during medical procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components including an EM tracking accessory, a patient referencing system, an EM field generator and tracking system, software, and a computer system.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality.
  • Device Function: The ig4™ Image Guided System is a stereotactic accessory used during clinical interventions to guide instruments (like needles) within the patient's body using imaging modalities (CT, 3D fluoroscopic x-ray, Ultrasound). It does not analyze samples outside of the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "displaying an interventional instrument... on a computer monitor that also displays a CT-based or 3D fluoroscopic x-ray-based model of the target organ(s)" and for "overlaying Ultrasound images onto the model of the target organ(s)." This is about real-time guidance within the patient.

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

Dear Mr. Wrightstone:

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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

3

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportalProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
