The summary describes a traditional image-guided navigation system based on tracking passive markers and registering them to pre- or intraoperative images. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or algorithms that learn from data to improve performance. The focus is on image processing, tracking, and registration for localization and navigation.
No.
The device is an image-guided navigation system used for localization and to assist in surgical procedures by linking tracked instruments to virtual computer image space, rather than directly treating a medical condition.
No
The device is an image-guided localization system intended for surgical navigation, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It assists in surgical procedures by linking surgical instruments to image data, allowing for precise implant positioning and bone fracture reduction.
No
The device description explicitly mentions linking a freehand probe and surgical instruments tracked by passive markers, indicating the inclusion of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the Brainlab trauma device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Brainlab Trauma's Function: The description clearly states that Brainlab trauma is an image-guided localization system used during surgery to help surgeons navigate and perform procedures on the patient's anatomy. It uses pre- or intraoperative imaging data (CT, X-ray, MR) and tracks instruments in relation to the patient's bone structure.
- No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on spatial guidance and visualization based on imaging and instrument tracking.
Therefore, Brainlab trauma falls under the category of a surgical navigation or image-guided surgery system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Brainlab trauma is intended to be a pre- and 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 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, scapula, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT, fluoroscopic, X-ray or MR based model of the anatomy. In addition to the image guided navigation, Brainlab trauma also enables image-free navigation of trajectories for trauma procedures.
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 ilio-sacral screw fixation.
- Fracture treatment procedures such as intramedullary nailing or plating or screwing, or external fixation procedures in the tubular bones.
- Retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions

Device Description
Brainlab trauma is intended to enable operational navigation in spinal, traumatologic surgery. It links surgical instruments tracked by passive markers to a virtual computer image space.
In Brainlab trauma this virtual computer image space refers either to intraoperatively acquired and registered x-ray images of the individual patient's bone structure or to a landmark, which is intraoperatively defined by the surgeon using the tip of a tracked instrument.
Brainlab trauma allows surgical navigation considering patient movement in correlation to calibrated surgical instruments. This allows implant positioning, screw placement and bone fracture reduction in different views and reduces the need for treatments under permanent fluoroscopic radiation.
