The description focuses on electromagnetic tracking and displaying the instrument's position on pre-operative scans. There is no mention of AI/ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The device is used to assist in navigation during surgical procedures by precisely locating anatomical structures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It uses pre-operative scans (CT, MRI) for navigation, rather than producing diagnostic information itself.
No
The device description explicitly states that the FlexPointer 1.5 is a reusable instrument that incorporates a sensor device, which is tracked by the navigation system. This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
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.
- FlexPointer 1.5 Function: The FlexPointer 1.5 is a surgical instrument used during a procedure to help a surgeon navigate and locate anatomical structures within the patient's body. It uses electromagnetic tracking and pre-operative imaging (CT, MRI, fluoroscopy) to guide the surgeon.
- No Specimen Examination: The device does not involve the collection or analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is entirely focused on real-time surgical guidance based on imaging data.
Therefore, the FlexPointer 1.5 falls under the category of a surgical navigation or guidance system component, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Mucha:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

5. Device Description
The Fiagon Navigation - FlexPointer 1.5 is a reusable instrument intended to be used with the Fiagon Navigation system. The instrument is an electromagnetically navigated devices that is
- a. Navigated pointing devices (maleable, sensor within the tip)
Each device incorporates a sensor device, which is tracked by the navigation system with in the low-energy magnetic field of a field generator (part of the navigation system)
The navigation software (part of the navigation system) displays the position of the instruments in preoperative scans (e.g., CT, MRI, fluoroscopy)
6. Intended Use
The FlexPointer 1.5 is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. It is indicated for use with the Fiagon Navigation system using electromagnetic navigation.
It is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure in the field of ENT surgery, such as the paranasal sinuses, mastoid anatomy, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model of the anatomy.
Example procedures include, but are not limited to:

7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The substantial equivalence of the FlexPointer 1.5 to the unmodified devices FlexPointer and finePointer is shown by similarity in intended use, indications for use, materials, and performance. All devices utilize:
- · Electromagnetic tracking technology for navigation included in surgical instruments
- · Malleable s instruments enabled for image guidance (FlexPointer and FlexPpointer 1.5)
- · Instruments with tracking sensor at the instrument tip, precalibrated

The primary difference between the unmodified devices and the new device is geometrical change of the outer construction of the device (diameter and length). This different does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
8. Performance Data
Testing was performed in order to determine device precision and accuracy. The following nonclinical tests were performed to determine substantial equivalence:
A mean bench accuracy of 1.1 mm (Standard deviation 0.27 mm) was measured for the new device. All 95% confidence levels were
