Intended Use
The AIS S4 Cervical Navigation Instruments are intended to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous procedures. They are indicated for use in surgical spinal procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure , such as the pelvis or a vertebrae can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. These procedures include but are not limited to spinal fusion during the navigation of pedicle screws (T1-T3).
Device Description
The AIS S4 Cervical Navigation Instruments are manual surgical instruments which are designed to interface with BrainLAB's already cleared surgical navigation systems. Instruments in this system may be pre-calibrated or manually calibrated to already cleared systems using manufacturers' instructions. These instruments are intended to be used in spine applications to perform general or manual functions within the orthopedic surgical environment.

No
The summary describes manual surgical instruments that interface with existing navigation systems. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
This device is described as "manual surgical instruments" intended to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during spinal procedures. It does not directly treat or cure a condition, but rather aids in surgical navigation.

No

This device is described as surgical instruments intended to assist surgeons in locating anatomical structures during spinal procedures. It does not perform a diagnostic function, but rather aids in surgical navigation.

No

The device description explicitly states "manual surgical instruments" and describes them as designed to "interface with BrainLAB's already cleared surgical navigation systems," indicating a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The AIS S4 Cervical Navigation Instruments are described as manual surgical instruments used to assist surgeons in precisely locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures. They interface with surgical navigation systems and are used directly on the patient's anatomy during surgery.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device collecting, preparing, or analyzing any specimens from the human body. Its function is entirely focused on guiding surgical procedures based on imaging data and anatomical reference.

Therefore, the intended use and description of the AIS S4 Cervical Navigation Instruments clearly place it outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
