Intended Use
Used as an accessory to aid in the auto-registration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous image guided surgical procedures.
Device Description
X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres consist of two hemispheres, coated with a retroreflective foil, bonded together on a central pin to form a sphere. The central pin can be threaded with an M3 female thread or have a snap hole to mate with a mounting pin. The retro-reflective foil is applied in such a way as to provide reflectivity from all angles that is equivalent to the predicate devices. The spheres are individually packaged in a special sterile package and are gamma sterilized.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and retro-reflectivity of marker spheres, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing or analysis.

No
The device is described as an "accessory to aid in the auto-registration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures" and consists of "Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres." It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition, but rather assists in image-guided surgical procedures.

No

The device description indicates that the X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres are used as an accessory to aid in auto-registration and localization during image-guided surgical procedures. They are physical markers that reflect light for tracking, not tools for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details physical, sterile, reflective marker spheres, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Used as an accessory to aid in the auto-registration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous image guided surgical procedures." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to assist with navigation and localization within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical marker sphere designed to be attached to the patient's anatomy for tracking purposes. It's a mechanical accessory.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze biological specimens.

The device is clearly intended for use in vivo (within the living body) as part of a surgical navigation system, not for in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres were tested to verify their retro-reflectivity in comparison to the predicate devices. Both the polar and equatorial views showed retroreflectivity that was equivalent to the predicate devices. A water soak test was conducted to show that the markers maintain there mechanical properties after being soaked in water. A surface abrasion test was performed which showed that the surface durability was substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

D

X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres consist of two hemispheres, coated with a retroreflective foil, bonded together on a central pin to form a sphere. The central pin can be threaded with an M3 female thread or have a snap hole to mate with a mounting pin. The retro-reflective foil is applied in such a way as to provide reflectivity from all angles that is equivalent to the

predicate devices. The spheres are individually packaged in a special sterile package and are gamma sterilized.

10. Indications For Use:

Passive Retro-Reflective Markers, disposable, used as an accessory to aid in the autoregistration and localization of rigid patient anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous image guided surgical procedures.

l ] . Performance Testing:

X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres were tested to verify their retro-reflectivity in comparison to the predicate devices. Both the polar and equatorial views showed retroreflectivity that was equivalent to the predicate devices.

A water soak test was conducted to show that the markers maintain there mechanical properties after being soaked in water. A surface abrasion test was performed which showed that the surface durability was substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

12. Sterilization:

X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres are inserted (6 each), in special "made for sterilization" plastic shells which are sealed in a nitrogen environment in plastic sterilization packets. Each packet is inserted in a box and is gamma sterilized in a carton containing 50 boxes. Each box is printed with pertinent labeling which includes the date of manufacture, expiration date, manufacturer batch and sterilization lot numbers and the manufacturer's name and address, as well as instructions for use.

13. Conclusion:

Based on the available 510 (K) summaries and statements and the information provided here, we conclude that X12's Sterile Reflective Marker Spheres are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices which are legally marketed in the United States under the FDA regulations.

Dear Mr. Barnes:

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. Insting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

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
