No
The document describes image processing and software manipulation for creating physical and digital models and surgical guides, but it does not mention the use of AI or ML algorithms. The process relies on trained employees and physician input for planning and review.
No
This device is a software system and image segmentation system used for planning and creating physical outputs (like anatomical models, templates, and surgical guides) to assist in maxillofacial surgery. It is a pre-operative tool for simulating/evaluating surgical treatment options and for guiding surgical procedures, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition in a therapeutic way.
No
The device is intended for pre-operative planning, simulation, and the production of physical outputs (models, guides) for surgical use, but it does not diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is a "collection of software and associated additive manufacturing (rapid prototyping) equipment" and produces "physical outputs including anatomical models, templates, and surgical guides". It also includes "Stainless Steel Cutting and Drill Inserts". This indicates the system includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, the Medical Modeling VSP® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- VSP® System's Function: The VSP® System processes medical imaging data (CT, CBCT, 3D scans) and physical models to create digital and physical outputs (anatomical models, surgical guides, templates, reports) for pre-operative planning and surgical guidance. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for transferring imaging information, simulating/evaluating surgical treatment options, and producing outputs for use in maxillofacial surgery. This is a surgical planning and execution support system, not a diagnostic tool based on biological samples.
Therefore, the VSP® System falls under the category of a medical device used for surgical planning and guidance, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Medical Modeling VSP® System is intended for use as a software system and image segmentation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as a CT based system. The input data file is processed by the VSP® System and the result is an output data file that may then be provided as digital models or used as input to a rapid prototyping portion of the system that produces physical outputs including anatomical models, templates, and surgical guides for use in maxillofacial surgery. The VSP® System is also intended as a pre-operative software tool for simulating / evaluating surgical treatment options.

Device Description
The Medical Modeling VSP® System is a collection of software and associated additive manufacturing (rapid prototyping) equipment intended to provide a variety of outputs to support reconstructive surgery. The system uses electronic medical images of the patients' anatomy with input from the physician, to manipulate original patient images for planning and executing surgery. The system produces a variety of patient specific outputs including; anatomical models (physical and digital), surgical templates / guides, splints, and patient specific case reports.
Following the Medical Modeling Quality System and specific Work Instructions, trained employees utilize a combination of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and custom software to manipulate 3-D medical scan images which can include Computed Tomography (CT), Cone Beam CT (CBCT), and/or 3-D scan images from patient physical models (stone models of the patient's teeth) to create patient-specific physical and digital outputs. The process requires clinical input and review from the physician during planning and prior to delivery of the final outputs. While the process and dataflow vary somewhat based on the particular requirements of a given patient and physician, the following description outlines the functions of key sub-components of the system, and how they interact to produce the defined system outputs. It should be noted that the system is operated only by trained Medical Modeling employees, and the physician does not directly input information. The physician provides input for model manipulation and interactive feedback through viewing of digital models of system outputs that are modified by the engineer during the planning session.
The VSP® System is made up of 13 individual pieces of software and 9 pieces of manufacturing equipment integrated to provide a range of anatomical models (physical and digital), surgical guides, and patient specific planning reports for reconstructive surgery in the maxillofacial region. Surgical guides for graft bone harvesting which can include the fibula and hip are also produced by the system.
The VSP® System requires an input 3-D image file from medical imaging systems (i.e. CT). This input is then used, with support from the prescribing physician to provide the following potential outputs to support reconstructive surgery. Each system output is designed with physician input, and reviewed by the physician prior to finalization. All outputs are used only with direct physician involvement reducing the criticality of the outputs.
System Outputs
- Anatomical Models
- Surgical Positioning Templates / Guides
- Osteotomy Templates / Guides
- Plate Bending Templates/Guides
- Patient Specific Case Reports
The VSP® System also contains a set of Stainless Steel Cutting and Drill Inserts (VSP® System Accessories) which are intended to be used by the physician to guide cutting and drilling activities during the surgical procedure. The inserts fit into a standard slot/hole in the cutting/drill guides, and can be used across all the VSP® System guides and templates.
