The summary describes image processing and segmentation tools, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training data or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models. The segmentation is described as user-editable, suggesting a more traditional image processing approach.
No.
The device provides image guidance to assist in procedures, but it does not directly treat or provide therapy to the patient. It is an interventional tool.
No
Explanation: The device is described as providing image guidance for assisting in catheter maneuvering and device placement during endovascular procedures, and for navigating devices through vessels by superimposing live fluoroscopic images on 3D vessel anatomy. It reuses previously acquired diagnostic 3D images and does not perform new diagnoses.
Yes
The device description explicitly states "VesselNavigator is a software product" and the performance studies focus on software verification and validation, referencing software-specific standards and guidance. While it is used in combination with a Philips Interventional X-ray system, the submission focuses on the software component.
Based on the provided information, VesselNavigator is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- VesselNavigator's Function: VesselNavigator is a software product that provides image guidance during a medical procedure. It uses previously acquired imaging data (MR or CT) and live fluoroscopic images to assist clinicians in navigating devices within the body. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "image guidance by superimposing live fluoroscopic images on a 3D volume of the vessel anatomy to assist in catheter maneuvering and device placement" and to "assist in the treatment of endovascular diseases during procedures." This is an interventional tool, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples.
Therefore, VesselNavigator falls under the category of a medical device used for image guidance during interventional procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device description: VesselNavigator is a software product (Interventional Tool) intended to assist in the treatment of endovascular diseases during an endovascular intervention procedure. VesselNavigator is intended to be used in combination with a Philips Interventional X-ray system. VesselNavigator can be used during any endovascular intervention and covers all vascular anatomy except coronaries and intracranial vessels.
It provides live 3D image guidance for navigating endovascular devices through intended vascular structures in the body, reusing previously acquired diagnostic 3D images. After registration, the 3D volume can be used as a 3D roadmap for navigation; live 2D fluoroscopic images will be overlaid on the 3D volume. In addition, VesselNavigator provides tools to segment the relevant vasculature in the 3D volume (where the end-user is able to edit the segmentation results), place landmarks for easy recognition of key anatomical points of interests, and store and recall of preferred view angles.
Indications for Use: VesselNavigator provides image guidance by superimposing live fluoroscopic images on a 3D volume of the vessel anatomy to assist in catheter maneuvering and device placement.
VesselNavigator is intended to assist in the treatment of endovascular diseases during procedures such as (but not limited to) AAA, TAA, carotid stenting, iliac interventions.
The Indications for Use statement for VesselNavigator is not identical to the predicate device; compared to MR-CT Roadmap, VesselNavigator is intended to assist in the treatment of endovascular diseases during procedures. However, this difference does not alter the intended use of the device nor does it affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate device have the same intended use, by superimposing live fluoroscopic images on a 3D volume of the vessel anatomy and are accessories to the Allura Xper X-ray system (K133292), which is an Interventional X-ray imaging system.

Technological VesselNavigator employs comparable technology as its predicate device MR-CT characteristics: Roadmap:
- Both tools run on a separate interventional tools workstation (Philips ● Interventional Workspot, K121296).
- . Both tools provide basic viewing operations to manipulate image data.
- . Both tools have comparable snapshot functionality.
- Both tools provide an overlay of live 2D fluoroscopy images on a 3D . reconstruction (3D volume) of the vessel tree acquired from a previous MR or CT scan; in this way the 3D volume serves as a roadmap to provide additional information for navigating endovascular devices through vascular structures of the patient.
- Both tools support registration of 3D volume with the x-ray system.
- . Both tools support manual correction of the registration.
- Both tools provide dynamic update to changes of the position of the X-rav equipment; the 3D volume is automatically adjusted to any gantry changes and any lateral or longitudinal table movements.
- Both tools have functionality to store roadmaps.
- . Both tools can be controlled from the tableside.
The technological differences between VesselNavigator and its predicate device MR-CT Roadmap are noted below
- VesselNavigator provides functionality to measure distances. This function ● is identical to the reference device HeartNavigator Release 2.
- . VesselNavigator provides functionality to segment the relevant vasculature in the 3D volume (where the end-user is able to edit the segmentation results), place landmarks for easy recognition of key anatomical points of interests, and store and recall of preferred view angles.
- . VesselNavigator tools to remove the table and segment and remove specific bone structures from the view
As these differences are considered low risk (only providing further support to the clinicians in performing interventions) and the functionalities were verified and validated with equivalent methods, these differences do not raise new questions on safety or effectiveness.
Therefore, the VesselNavigator is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device MR-CT Roadmap in terms of technological characteristics.
