No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical positioning and support for ultrasound probes and needles, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image analysis, diagnosis, or treatment planning.
No.
The device facilitates the positioning of an ultrasound probe and needles for diagnostic or interventional procedures (biopsy, fiducial marker placement, cryotherapy) related to prostate cancer, but it does not directly treat the condition itself.
No
The device is described as a "Stepping Unit" and "Stabilizer" used to position an ultrasound imaging probe and facilitate needle placement, primarily for procedures like transperineal template-guided biopsy. Its function is to hold and guide an existing imaging probe and needles, demonstrating a role in interventional procedures rather than diagnosing a condition itself. The intended use "in adult males with known or suspected prostate cancer" suggests it's for patients already identified as potentially having the condition, and the literature review supports its use in cryotherapy, biopsy, and fiducial marker placement, all of which are interventional or treatment-related.
No
The device description clearly outlines several hardware components: a Stepping Unit (including a Cradle and Carriage), a Stabilizer, and a Disposable Template Grid. The performance studies also include verification testing on hardware characteristics like longitudinal movement and electrical safety.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a mechanical system used to hold and position an ultrasound probe and guide the placement of needles during procedures related to the prostate. It facilitates imaging and intervention within the body, not the analysis of samples outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for use in adult males with known or suspected prostate cancer, specifically for procedures like biopsy, cryotherapy, and fiducial marker placement. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient.
The device is a medical device used for image-guided procedures, but it does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing.

The subject devices, with the exception of the EX3 Stepper, have been marketed for many years under K972672 and K981873. The purpose of this 510(k) is to modify the intended use of these devices to include cryotherapy, transperineal template-guided biopsy, and fiducial marker placement. These additional applications fall within the indications for use and the literature demonstrates that these devices have been safely and effectively used for many years in these applications. These changes do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness because the system continues to be used for positioning in males with suspected or diagnosed prostate cancer. These changes do not impact or modify the therapy and CIVCO did not modify the design of these devices to enable use in these additional applications.
The second purpose of this 510(k) is to provide a premarket notification for the EX3 Stepper. The EX3 Stepper is similar to the predicate in that it holds an ultrasound imaging probe and facilitates manual linear and rotational positioning of the probe. The EX3 Stepper differs from the predicate in that it offers continuous (free) longitudinal movement and contains encoder components that are powered via a USB-hub. Firmware in the encoders report position and this position is read by treatment planning software marketed by other companies. This position reporting function has been added to the EX3 intended use. Verification and validation testing confirmed that these changes in design do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

F. Technological Characteristics
Stepping Unit
Both the subject and predicate Stepping Units are designed to hold and manipulate ultrasound imaging probes during prostate procedures and enable manual linear and rotational positioning of the probe. The subject and predicate Stepping Units consist of a Cradle designed to hold and rotate an ultrasound probe, a Carriage that moves longitudinally along the Stepping Unit, and a Grid Platform connected at one end of the Stepper to attach the Disposable Template Grid. The proposed EX3 Stepper differs from the predicate in that it offers continuous (free) longitudinal movement of the Carriage and contains encoder components that are powered via a USB-hub. Firmware in the encoders report position and this position is read by treatment planning software marketed by other companies.
Stabilizer
Both the subject and predicate Stabilizers are designed to serve as a base for the Stepping Unit. The subject and predicate Stabilizers offer fixation and support during insertion and final placement of the ultrasound imaging probe. Whereas the predicate device only mounted on a floor stand, several of the subject Stabilizers can be mounted to an operating table. The fine tune adjustment mechanism on the predicate device is incorporated in the Micro-Touch Stabilizers, but not the Multi-Purpose Workstation Stabilizers.
Disposable Template Grid
Both the subject and predicate Disposable Template Grids are single-use, sterile grids that consist of rows and columns of holes (channels) spaced 5mm apart. These channels are labeled and provide placement of needles in predefined areas of the prostate. The subject device is sterilized via EtO gas, whereas the predicate device was sterilized by gamma irradiation. Also, the subject device is made of ABS while the predicate device was constructed from polycarbonate. The subject device is labeled with a 3 year expiration date.
G. Literature Review , Non-Clinical Performance Testing, and Conclusions
A literature review was conducted to support the modification of the intended use to include cryotherapy, transperineal template-guided biopsy, and fiducial marker placement. The literature demonstrates that these devices have been safely and effectively used in cryotherapy, transperineal template-guided biopsy, and fiducial marker placement. No design changes were made to enable use of the devices in these additional applications.
