Intended Use
The IQQA-Guide System is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT). It displays simulated image of interventional instruments (such as biopsy needle, ablation needle, probe) on a computer monitor that also shows an imaging-based 3D model of the patient anatomy, and the current and the projected future path of the interventional instruments. The system supports the imaging-based model derived from physician's confirmed segmentation results of patient's image scans, including intra-operative CT, pre-procedural CT, and CT or MR previously acquired before surgical procedures. Additionally, overlaying ultrasound images (when available) may be displayed with the model of patient anatomy. The system supports a workflow based on automated image registrations of spatial mapping from one image space to another image space, or from image space to physical space. Physician may interactively adjust and confirm registration results, and evaluate 3D visualization and quantitative information in terms of distance, size, and spatial location associated with patient anatomy and instruments. The system is intended for intra-operative guidance for surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained physicians in clinical intervention and for structures where imaging is currently used for visualizing such procedures.
Device Description
The IQQA-Guide System is a stereotactic accessory for Computed Tomography (CT). It utilizes electromagnetic tracking technology to locate and navigate instruments relative to an imaging-based model of the patient anatomy. IOOA-Guide displays the simulated image of interventional instruments (such as biopsy needle, ablation needle, probe) on a computer monitor that also shows the imaging-based 3D model of the patient anatomy, and the current and the projected future path of the interventional instruments. IQQA-Guide supports the imaging-based 3D model derived from physician's confirmed segmentation results of patient's image scans, including intra-operative CT, pre-procedural CT, and CT or MR previously acquired before surgical procedures. The model of segmentation results may also be loaded from saved reports of the IQOA-BodyImaging software (K141745). Additionally, overlaying ultrasound images (when available) may be displayed with the model of patient anatomy. The system supports a workflow based on automated image registrations of spatial mapping from one image space to another image space, or from image space to physical space. Physician may interactively adjust and confirm registration results, and evaluate 3D visualization and quantitative information in terms of distance, size, and spatial location associated with patient anatomy and instruments.

More Information

No
The summary describes automated image registration and 3D modeling based on physician-confirmed segmentation, but does not mention AI, ML, or deep learning. The performance metrics are based on accuracy measurements, not typical AI/ML performance metrics like AUC.

No
The device is described as an intra-operative guidance system that displays simulated images of instruments and patient anatomy. It is a stereotactic accessory for CT and aids in navigation, not directly providing therapy or treatment.

No

The device is an intra-operative guidance system that displays a 3D model of patient anatomy and instruments for surgical procedures. It does not provide a medical diagnosis or disease identification.

No

The device description explicitly states that the IQQA-Guide system consists of an EM tracking system, software, and a computer system, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the IQQA-Guide System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • IQQA-Guide System's Function: The IQQA-Guide System is a surgical guidance system that uses imaging data (CT, MR, Ultrasound) to help physicians navigate instruments during procedures. It works with the patient's anatomy directly, not with specimens taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "intra-operative guidance for surgical procedures." This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

While the system uses imaging data and performs image processing, its purpose is to guide surgical intervention, not to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.

5. Comparison with predicate devices - IFU and Technological characteristics

5

6

IQQA-Guide has the same intended use and similar technological/functional features as the predicate devices in providing tools and workflow designs to support physician users to visualize and evaluate tracked interventional instrument with respect to patient imaging data.

The IQQA-Guide device is utilized only by trained professionals. The trained professionals, providing ample opportunity for competent human intervention interpret images and information being displayed. They are competent to determine whether the images and information being displayed can be useful in the decision of patient management. Physicians make all final patient management decision.

IQQA-Guide and predicate devices are substantially equivalent in the areas of technical characteristics, principles of operation, and functional features. IQQA-Guide does not raise any new potential safety risks and is equivalent in performance to the existing legally marketed devices.

    1. Safety and Effectiveness:
      The IQQA-Guide labeling contains instructions for use and necessary cautions, warnings and notes to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk Management is ensured via the company's design control and risk management procedures. Potential hazards are controlled via development and verification and validation testing. The device complies with the following standards:

All product specifications were verified and validated. Testing was performed according to internal company procedures and applicable standards.

The system was tested for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety according to the IEC60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards.

Software testing and validation were done according to written test protocols established before testing was conducted. Test results were reviewed by designated technical professionals. Additionally, to supplement system and software validation for IQQA-Guide, the company has

conducted testing at clinical site. The purpose of the testing is to have physicians use the IQQA-

Guide during clinical interventional procedures, validate major functionalities provided by the system, and provide feedback along the line of the intended use of the system. Regarding system registration performance, experiments involving intervention on phantoms showed accuracy of 2.35±1.23mm and 2.23±0.82mm at two hospital sites respectively, and experiments involving patient studies showed accuracy of 4.62±3.07mm and 4.9±1.9mm at two hospital sites respectively.

In all instances, test results support the conclusion that actual device performance satisfies the design intent.

8. Conclusion

The IQQA-Guide has the same intended use as the predicate devices. Test results demonstrate that the device is safe, effective, and does not raise any new potential safety risks. In all material respects, the IQQA-Guide is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
