Intended Use
The Navigation Panel Unit System (NPU) is an intraoperative image guided localization system that links a freehand probe tracked by a passive marker sensor system to a virtual computer image space on a patient's preoperative diagnostic image data set. The system is intended to be used as a positioning aid for navigation in ENT surgery, including but not limited to endoscopic surgery. The NPU 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 can be identified relative to the radiological imaging-based model . of the anatomy. Surgery procedures include but are not limited to the following: transphenoidal procedures, maxillary antrostomies, ethmoidectomies, sphenoidectomies, sphenoid explorations, turbinate resections, frontal sinusotomies, intranasal procedures, intranasal tumor resections, otologic surgery, and ENT skull base surgery.
Device Description
The Karl Storz Navigation Panel Unit (NPU) System is a multi-component system to be used as a positioning aid for navigation in ENT surgery. The software comprises a planning and treatment program in which an instrument is navigated on the basis of pre-loaded radiological image data.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard image-guided navigation system that links a tracked probe to pre-loaded radiological images. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or the specific sections for AI/ML information. The system appears to rely on traditional image registration and tracking techniques.

No.
The device is described as a positioning aid for navigation in ENT surgery and is not intended to treat or cure any medical condition.

No
The NPU is described as an "intraoperative image guided localization system" and a "positioning aid for navigation in ENT surgery." Its function is to link a freehand probe to a virtual image space based on pre-existing diagnostic images, aiding in surgical procedures rather than making a diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multi-component system" and mentions a "freehand probe tracked by a passive marker sensor system," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

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 used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Navigation Panel Unit System (NPU) is an image-guided surgical navigation system. It uses pre-operative imaging data to help surgeons navigate instruments during surgery. It does not perform tests on patient samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is as a "positioning aid for navigation in ENT surgery." This is a surgical assistance function, not a diagnostic function performed on samples.

Therefore, the NPU falls under the category of a surgical navigation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
