Intended Use
The VarioGuide Drill Kit used in conjunction with BrainLab's VarioGuide is intended for creating an access point in the skull during intracranial procedures. The device is not intended for implant. This device is intended for "single patient use only."
Device Description
The VarioGuide Drill Kit is a set of components that work in conjunction with the VarioGuide and each other to guide a drill bit along a desired trajectory to make an access hole in the skull. The components that comprise the VarioCuide Drill Kit are a Drill Guide, a 3.4mm Drill Bit, a Lancet, two Depth Stops and a Device Guide. The Drill Guide is made from Peek and has a 316L Stainless Steel tip which is pressed into the Drill Guide body. The Drill Guide Tip has two unique features. First, the tip has a double-chamfered edge which allows the unique into the bone and that also prevents the tip from bending over. The second feature is windows that allow drilled material to exit through the tip and thus prevents the drill bit from binding. The Drill Guide is used to constrain the prevents access bal access hole creation to a predetermined to assult the unit on unring. 316L Stainless Steel and is used to create an access hole through the skull. The Drill Bit tip is designed so that the amount of drill walk at the start of drilling is limited. This feature also helps Drill Bit to maintain its trajectory. The Lancet is made from 316L Stainless Steel and has a sharp point at the distal end to allow the Lancet to pierce the Dura and/or Pia. The Lancet has a reduced section (0.60)" long) which allows the Lancet to pass through the skull without any wall interference. The Depth Stops are made from 316L Stainless Steel and are used in conjunction with the Drill Bit and Lancet to set the desired depth. The Device Guide is made from Peek and is used to guide an instrument (such as a catherer) on a predetermined path. The Device Guide is available in two sizes, 0.075" for the small and 0.085" for the large.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their physical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is used to create an access hole in the skull for intracranial procedures, which is a surgical tool function, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates a procedure but does not directly treat a condition.

No

Explanation: The device creates an access point (hole) in the skull for intracranial procedures, guides a drill bit, and aids in instrumentation, which are all interventional functions. There is no mention of it collecting or analyzing data to provide insights into a patient's medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple physical components made of materials like Peek and 316L Stainless Steel (Drill Guide, Drill Bit, Lancet, Depth Stops, Device Guide), indicating it is a hardware-based medical device kit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "creating an access point in the skull during intracranial procedures." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details mechanical components (drill guide, drill bit, lancet, depth stops, device guide) used for physical manipulation of tissue (bone, dura, pia).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose diseases or conditions.

Therefore, the VarioGuide Drill Kit is a surgical instrument, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
