More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a fluorescence imaging system that uses existing hardware and a fluorescence imaging kit. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond standard endoscopic imaging. The performance studies focus on hardware functionality and usability, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is described as an "Imaging System" that provides real-time endoscopic visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging for visual assessment. Its purpose is for visualization and assessment, not for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device provides "real-time endoscopic visible and near-infrared fluorescence imaging" and enables "visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion" and "fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts." All of these are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system utilizes existing hardware components of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, including endoscopes and an endoscope controller, and also requires a Fluorescence Imaging Kit. This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software components, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is an imaging system used during surgery to visualize anatomical structures (vessels, bile ducts) in real-time using visible and near-infrared light. It does not perform tests on samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes real-time endoscopic imaging during surgery for visual assessment of vessels, blood flow, tissue perfusion, and bile ducts. This is an in vivo (within the living body) application, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).
  • Components: While it uses an imaging agent (ICG), this agent is administered to the patient and then visualized within the patient's body, not used to test a sample outside the body.

Therefore, the da Vinci Firefly Imaging System is a surgical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
