No
The summary describes a software system for image transfer, manipulation, and surgical planning, but there is no mention of AI or ML technologies being used for these functions. The focus is on surgeon-directed planning and standard image processing and measurement.
No
The device is a pre-operative planning software used for simulating/evaluating implant placement and surgical treatment options, not for delivering therapeutic treatment itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "software interface and image manipulation system" for transferring imaging information and for "pre-operative software for simulating/evaluating implant placement and surgical treatment options." While it uses medical images, its primary stated purpose is not to diagnose conditions but rather for planning and simulation after imaging has already been performed.
Yes
The device is described as "software described here" and "software interface," and its function is solely based on processing and manipulating imaging data and providing a surgical planning interface, without mentioning any accompanying hardware components that are part of the regulated device.
Based on the provided information, the VAULT® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for transferring and manipulating imaging information from medical scanners (CT/MRI) and for pre-operative surgical planning. This involves working with medical images of the patient's anatomy, not analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces its role as a surgical planning package that uses a web-accessed interface to process and manipulate medical images.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The VAULT® System's function is centered around image processing and surgical planning based on those images, which falls outside the scope of IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VAULT® System is intended for use as a software interface and image manipulation system for the transfer of imaging information from a medical scanner such as Computerized Axial Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is also intended as pre-operative software for simulating/evaluating implant placement and surgical treatment options. The physician chooses the out-put data file for printing and/or subsequent use in CAD modeling or CNC/Rapid-prototyping.

Device Description
The WAULT® System software described here was developed in conformance with reference to the FDA Guidance Document for Industry "Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Medical Image Management Devices, July 27, 2000". Based on the information contained in Section G of that document, a final determination of submission content was developed. A secondary reference entitled "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices. May 11, 2005 was also used and resulted in a determination of a "MODERATE" level of concern for the software.
The UAULT® System software is made available to the user via a web-accessed software interface. The program is a surgeon directed surgical planning package primarily but not exclusively directed at trauma and orthopedic indications. After secure log-in the user requests, creates, reviews and finally authorizes their desired surgical plan. When authorizing, the surgeon/user may choose additional options such as implant sizing and/or various file output options.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.
(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

The UAULT® System software is made available to the user via a web-accessed software interface. The program is a surgeon directed surgical planning package primarily but not exclusively directed at trauma and orthopedic indications. After secure log-in the user requests, creates, reviews and finally authorizes their desired surgical plan. When authorizing, the surgeon/user may choose additional options such as implant sizing and/or various file output options.
Discussion of Similarities and Differences: The primary and most immediately noticeable difference is that the VAULT® Sustem software is Web-based while the predicate devices are local (PC/Laptop/Notebook) or local server based (hospital/clinic/office). Locally installed software presents minor to major complicating factors related to version, hardware, speed, operating system conflicts, etc. Those complicating factors are eliminated or reduced by direct company control of single edition server based web-portal program access. All users access the same optimized revision level software.
A second apparent difference in the basic operation of the Vault System and the predicate(s) software is the initial mass conversion and use of graphical images such as JPEG, BMP, PNG, of TIFF by the Vault System for planning. Both Mimics and TraumaCAD perform their planning on the DICOM images and then save/export files to JPEG file format(s) for presentation and export/import purposes.
The difference between the systems is the fact that the predicate software packages perform DICOM to JPEG conversion as a post-plan individual step. The WAULT® Sustem software performs this activity initially, converting all image files at once before planning and saving or exporting, Functionally there is no significant difference between the program capabilities other than improved performance on the part of the VAULT® System software.
